Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Fabrication in research is the making up of results and recording or reporting them. Falsification of research is manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes, or changing or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record. Plagiarism is the appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit, including those obtained through confidential review of others' research proposals and manuscripts. The principle of beneficence requires the researcher to do good and above all, do no harm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Universities and healthcare agencies have IRBs that function in a similar way to review research following federal regulations. If both a university and a hospital, or if more than one hospital, should be involved in a research study, both IRBs must give permission for the study to be conducted. This poses significant expenditure of time for such research.
