Answer to Question 1

Feedback
1 Exploring with the family their perception of the most pressing need at this time is a priority for the nurse to influence maximum results in the home visit.
2 Reviewing all of the printed materials given to the woman while she was in the hospital does not focus on the needs of the family, may overwhelm the family, and may be an inefficient use of time.
3 Suggesting the family avoid discussing their concerns at this time may minimize the nurse's ability to act on the most appropriate area of concern.
4 Focusing teaching on the prescribed medications minimizes the nurse's ability to act on the most appropriate area of concern and remain focused on the disease and symptoms, which may not be the family's focus.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: An interface is a computer program that tells two different systems how to exchange data. Traditionally, communication between and among most disparate systems has been the result of costly, time-consuming efforts to build interfaces. In other words, interface programs are the tools used to achieve integration.
