Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
In 2013 and 2014, individuals were restricted to giving 2600 to an individual candidate and 32,400 to a national party, so this contribution would maximize the donation to the specific candidate and use the remainder toward a contribution to the national party.
A person can give up to 2600 to an individual candidate and up to 32,400 to a national party, so splitting it in half would be possible.
A person can make a donation of up to 32,400 to a national political party, so one option would be to give it all to the national party and assume that some of it is being used for the candidate the individual favors. This probably is not the best option, but it is a possible choice.
Because the individual restriction on donations to specific candidates is 2600, the person cannot give all of it to the particular candidate favored.

Answer to Question 2

A
The elements of a PICO question include population (intensive care patients), intervention (urinary catheter care practices), comparison (missing), and outcome (decrease infection).
