Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, sponsored by the U.S. Public Health Service, investigated the effects of syphilis among 400 poor African-American men. Medical treatment was deliberately withheld to study the course of the untreated disease and violated the ethical principles of freedom from harm, right to self-determination, and the right to fair treatment. The Privacy Rule refers to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, which articulates federal standards to protect patients' medical records and health information.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Triangulation is the use of multiple sources or referents to draw conclusions about what constitutes the truth. A bias is an influence that results in an error in an inference or estimate. Researchers use statistical tests to test their hypotheses and assess the probability that the results are accurate. Research control usually involves holding constant influences on the outcome variable so that the true relationship between the independent and outcome variables can be understood.
