Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The most important reason for reading nursing research is to provide optimal nursing care in the form of evidence-based nursing practice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Saying it cannot be read until one gets his or her glasses could be an indication that the patient does not know how to read. Further assessment is needed to determine if this is true.
