Answer to Question 2

B
The nursing student should conduct a search using CINAHL or MEDLINE. Scientific and research
information usually require literature resources that can be found in databases such as CINAHL or
MEDLINE. Asking a teacher, nurses in the clinical area, or a friend will most likely only provide
limited information.
