Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
False imprisonment is the intentional and unjustifiable detention of a person against his or her will. If a person is deemed incompetent, however, detention may be legally justified. The client's prognosis and the location of facility are not among the criteria for false imprisonment. Eating disorders are psychiatric illnesses.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
If the client indicates perceived coercion by others, the nurse is responsible for alerting the program research investigator of such statements because they may constitute a violation of ethical principles. It is not unusual for a participant not to have contact with the primary researcher or to be unaware of the total number of study participants.
