   1. Describe three principles of the Nuremberg Code and explain how one of these principles is important to nursing research.
   2. Describe three ethical principles from the Belmont Report and explain how one of these principles applies to informed consent, risk/benefit assessment, and/or selection of participants.
   3. Describe the purpose of the Institutional Review Board (IRB).
   4. What values would be threatened if these principles had not been put in place? Support your answer with a verse from the Bible. For consistency, all students are to use the New International Version of the bible, which can be accessed via Biblegateway.com. Indiana Wesleyan is a Christian university, but students are not required to ascribe to that belief system to enroll or succeed in classes. Students of any religious background are able to address assignments regarding Christian worldview or biblical passages based on their understanding of the material (and not on the basis of their faith commitment). Students will not be graded based upon their personal beliefs, but rather, upon addressing the assignment instructions and rubric. In addition to responding to an assignment requiring a Bible passage, students may also share their perspectives based upon a religion other than Christianity. The Bible can be either Googled, or accessed for free via Biblegateway.com as demonstrated in this 4-minute tutorial: https://media.indwes.edu/media/1_ynzds5su.
