Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Citation management programs have the advantage of automatic formatting of citations in papers, the ability to create a personal database, the ability to share citations with others, and the functions of storing and organizing citations. They do not edit papers.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Nurses should assess whether any past experiences make a patient uncomfortable with touch.
Cultural differences may mandate whether touch is acceptable or not.
The nurse should always assess whether touch would be welcomed by the patient.
The gender of the nurse or patient is not generally an issue with using therapeutic touch.
The use of touch is part of a repertoire of therapeutic communication techniques and should be used sometimes; in other situations, other techniques should be used.
