Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Persons with mental illness are not considered a vulnerable population for research projects. Vulnerable populations for a research study are children, geriatric clients, prisoners, people with AIDS, the homeless, and unconscious/sedated patients.
Rationale 2: An adult with an illness is not considered to belong to a vulnerable population. Vulnerable populations for a research study are children, geriatric clients, prisoners, people with AIDS, the homeless, and unconscious/sedated patients.
Rationale 3: Since this patient cannot give informed consent or assent to the informed consent given by another (parents), this infant is considered to belong to a vulnerable population.
Rationale 4: An adult with an illness or injury is not considered to belong to a vulnerable population. Vulnerable populations for a research study are children, geriatric clients, prisoners, people with AIDS, the homeless, and unconscious/sedated patients.

Answer to Question 2

2,3
Rationale 1: There is no central organization that assumes this role for all research in nursing.
Rationale 2: Since nurses should always be watchful for researchable problems, these samplings are useful in determining priorities.
Rationale 3: Specialty groups often identify researchable problems and priorities within their own practice.
Rationale 4: Sigma Theta Tau International does fund many nursing research projects, but it is not the only funding source.
Rationale 5: A good deal of nursing research is clinical research, but many studies are also conducted on nonclinical areas.
