Peer-reviewed journals are those that have a(an):
 
  a. single editor.
  b. presence in the nursing databases.
  c. editorial board.
  d. author advisor.

Question 2

A student submits the following material within a three-page formal paper that is to be in APA format with at least five references. Last year there were six million deaths across the country attributed to cancer.
 
  Ten percent of those are considered to be related to environmental concerns, specifically the presence of carcinogens in food packaging. Nurses need to be aware of the im-pact of food packaging on the environment and take steps to eliminate the threat. Because there are no in-text citations noted in this passage, the student may find that he or she has: a. Not thought the topic through thoroughly.
  b. Plagiarized.
  c. Forgotten to check for spelling errors.
  d. No need for citations in the body of the paper.

Answer to Question 1

C
The definition of peer-reviewed implies that a board of experts serve as the editorial board and ensure quality in the publication.

Answer to Question 2

A
Plagiarizing is borrowing another's work and claiming it as your own. The lack of in-text citation after obviously factual data that are not the work of the student points to this problem.
