Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Facility policies and procedures can be used as evidence of specific nursing practice in the clinical setting if the policies are based on high-quality evidence. Clinical practice guidelines are based on systematic reviews, which provide the highest level of evidence. Policies based on quantitative research, opinions, and experience should not be used because they are not founded on evidence of the highest quality.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Quantitative questions ask about the relationship between or among defined, measurable phenomena and include statistical analysis of information that is collected to answer a question. Qualitative questions focus on the meanings and interpretations of human phenomena or experiences of people, and usually analyze the content of what a person says during an interview or what a researcher observes.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
