Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
IPV has roots in many societal values, such as male dominance, social gender attitudes, and unequal social power imbalances.
Female subservience is not a root cause of IPV.
Although in some cases money imbalance may contribute to unequal social power, it is not a specific cause, because violence occurs in all types of households.

Answer to Question 2

C
An HRO has employees who are constantly alert for things that could go wrong and ways to recognize and recover from mistakes if they are made.
An HRO is not defined by whether or not it employs nursing staff that is highly reliable in preventing errors.
An HRO is not defined by whether or not it has a reliable patient safety record or is a model for hospitals.
An HRO is not defined by whether or not it reliably reports all patient care errors to the appropriate body.
