Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: When using the critical pathway or protocols approach to nursing documentation, the system should identify variances to the anticipated outcomes as they are charted and provide aggregate variance data for analysis by the providers. This information can be used to fine tune and improve the critical pathways, thereby contributing to improved client outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The correct answer is a system used by physicians to provide suggestions for diagnostic tests according to selected admitting diagnoses. These suggestions may be followed or ignored, depending on the health care provider. A DSS assists with and strengthens the selection of viable options using the information of an organization or a field to facilitate decision making and overall efficiency. Your choice is an example of an administrative information system application.
