Answer to Question 1

Computerized instruments are both more accurate and more reliable than their predecessors. For example, an infusion pump can be set at the desired rate, and that rate will be maintained. Its predecessor, whose flow had to be estimated, could have its rate changed by the patient's movements. Computerized cardiac monitors are able, unlike their predecessors, to distinguish between cardiac arrest and a wire coming loose.

Answer to Question 2

B
