Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Cybertherapy may be most appropriate for persons who do not qualify for therapeutic intervention but are motivated for treatment. Acute illnesses are not likely to be effectively treated by this method.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Ensuring that client information is available and coordinated is one of the primary focuses of the emerging field of nursing informatics. This role supersedes the conduction of online research, liaising between clients and care providers, and overseeing the documentation of care.
