Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A The vasoconstriction effects on the heart cause the heart to have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the tissues.
B This is not the best reason for stopping smoking.
C This is not the best reason for stopping smoking.
D This is not the best reason for stopping smoking.

Answer to Question 2

A
Using the acronym PICO, the C might involve a comparison with patients who do not attend a support
group. P would be the patient or problem such as the problem of maintaining newly diagnosed renal
failure patients at home. The letter I would be the intervention such as involvement in a monthly
support group. And the letter O would reflect the outcome. In this case the outcome might be
decreased readmission rate over a 6-month period.
