Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Through telehealth advances, clients who live in remote areas can have their information monitored by specialists using computers. Because of this technology, clients do not need to make frequent visits to specialists for monitoring and evaluation of progress. A client who has experienced a myocardial infarction does require monitoring. The intranet is used within an agency or system and is not a tool that can be accessed from the outside.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The NSNA is an organization specifically for student nurses with a goal of assisting the student to foster their professionalism. Nurse practice acts do need to be read by students, but they denote laws, not professionalism. The ANA is for members practicing nursing, not students, although students may join. The NSNA focuses on students and is a better resource. The Internet is good for obtaining information and for networking but is not necessarily a help to the student who wishes to increase professionalism.
