Answer to Question 1

B, F
The nutritional counseling sessions and the structured weekly support group are the independent
variables. Independent variables are the variables believed to cause or influence the dependent
variables. Also, the independent variables are the variables that are manipulated. In this study, the age
of the subject and her being an African American are considered demographic variables. The mother's
post-delivery B/P and the infant's APGAR score are the dependent variables.

Answer to Question 2

D
The triage nurse's failing to appreciate the acute cardiac symptomatology can be considered
malpractice. The term malpractice refers to a professional's wrongful conduct in the discharge of his
professional duties or a failure to meet standards of care for the profession, which results in harm to
another individual entrusted to the professional's care. As a triage nurse in the ER, the nurse should
have been knowledgeable of the implications of the patient's cardiac symptoms.
