Answer to Question 1

D
Expert systems or decision-making support systems assist the nurse by alerting the nurse to abnormal values on diagnostic tests and medication incompatibilities, generating a list of nursing diagnoses, modifying standardized care plans, and providing guidelines for procedures, infection control measures, patient education, and discharge planning.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse is to use the nursing process to assess the patient's health history, administer the medication safely, and to evaluate the effect of the medication on the patient, including monitoring for side effects and adverse reactions. The nurse should not provide the medication to the patient until having an opportunity to discuss the dosage prescribed with the physician. The nurse has the right and responsibility to refuse to give a medication that would appear to endanger the patient.
