Answer to Question 1

A
According to a recent survey, 85 of Americans use the Internet. For whatever reason, 15 do not. The nurse must be cognizant of the divide between these two groups because not everyone even has ready access to the Internet. If patients need to go to a public library or some other public space to access information, this decreases the likelihood of their actually doing so. The other options are items to assess, but they are not nearly as important as ensuring the patients have the ability and resources to use the Internet.

Answer to Question 2

A
Maturity means judicious decision making in light of understanding that some situations will have several different options and that judgments need to be made in light of professional standards and individual contexts. This nurse does not display this disposition.
Open-mindedness is the disposition that allows people to realize their opinions may be biased and to be tolerant of divergent views.
Self-confidence is trust in one's own reasoning and decision-making processes and the ability to take a leadership stand in resolving problems.
Systematicity is an orderly approach toward inquiry.
