Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
It is hypothesized that cooking one's meals will lead to better compliance with dietary restrictions. Self-cooking influences compliance. Adherence is what the researcher wants to influence and is the independent variable.
The study population appears to be patients with diabetes, so diabetes is constant and not a variable. It is hypothesized that cooking one's meals will lead to better compliance with dietary restrictions. Self-cooking influences compliance. Adherence is what the researcher wants to influence and is the independent variable.
Actually, all patients in the population have dietary restrictions, so this is not a variable. It is hypothesized that cooking one's meals will lead to better compliance with dietary restrictions. Self-cooking influences compliance. Adherence is what the researcher wants to influence and is the independent variable.
Meal cooking is the independent variable. It is hypothesized that cooking one's meals will lead to better compliance with dietary restrictions. Self-cooking influences compliance. Adherence is what the researcher wants to influence and is the independent variable.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Quasi-experimental designs seek to discover whether an independent variable causes an effect on a dependent one. Correlational research establishes an association between and among variables, and the number of variables is based on the study purpose and problem, not what kind of study it is. There can be significant findings in each type of study. The complexity of a hypothesis is determined by how many variables are involved, not the kind of study.
There can be significant findings in each type of study. All types of studies are needed to expand nursing knowledge and science.
The complexity of a hypothesis is determined by the number of variables are involved, not the kind of study.
The complexity of a hypothesis is determined by the number of variables are involved, not the kind of study.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

IgA antibodies protect body surfaces exposed to outside foreign substances. IgG antibodies are found in all body fluids. IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody made in response to an infection. IgE antibody levels are often high in people with allergies. IgD antibodies are found in tissues lining the abdomen and chest.

Though newer “smart” infusion pumps are increasingly becoming more sophisticated, they cannot prevent all programming and administration errors. Health care professionals that use smart infusion pumps must still practice the rights of medication administration and have other professionals double-check all high-risk infusions.
