Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Accessing databases online can pinpoint those journals and projects that relate directly to the research project. Trying to find applicable articles and journals in any library is time consuming and may result in inappropriate material that cannot be filtered by hand the way it can by a computer. Google is not an efficient avenue for accessing nursing research.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C, D, E

The nursing student is held accountable to the same standard of care as the licensed nurse. Clinical performance guidelines for nursing students include: making client safety the first priority, knowing the facility's policies and procedures for care, ensuring knowledge about clients' prescribed medications, never performing care for which the student is unprepared, and allowing staff to perform actions if the instructor is not available.
