Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Hardware redundancy is the first line of defense in providing continuous systems availability. It allows operations to continue even when individual components fail. Having copies of software, installing anti-virus software, and having adequate firewall protection are good practices; however, they are not the first line defense.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The widespread adoption of electronic patient records, CPOE, and other point-of-care technologies that support nursing workflow are expected to help remove barriers to information and evidence-based practice (Simpson, 2006). However, online reports cards cannot be employed to remove barriers to information and evidence-based practice because these documents contain evaluated care data of individual physicians, facilities, health plans, and other care providers, serving as a tool to assist health care consumers to compare quality and other characteristics of providers and health plans.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
