Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E

Feedback
Correct The study should require elderly participants only if it is relevant to do so. Elderly individuals should not be used because they are a convenient sample.
Alterations in cognitive capacity can influence whether an elderly person can properly consent.
A complex study might be too difficult for an elderly person to understand if they have even mild cognitive impairment.

Incorrect The ethnic background should not be an ethical concern.
The age of the participant should not be an ethical concern.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D

Feedback
A In research, data may be collected from patients, medical records, and many other sources.
B Quotations may be used in either research or patient care.
C Research data collection may involve direct nurse contact, depending on design.
