Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse is most concerned about the worst injury the patient could receive, which involves falling while attempting to get to the bathroom. To reduce injury, the nurse should clear the path and reinforce use of the call light. The question is asking for the greatest risk of injury, not the most frequent occurrence or the event most likely to occur.

Answer to Question 2

B
CIHI is the national, independent, and not-for-profit body that records, analyzes, and dissemi-nates data and analysis on Canada's health care system and the health of Canadians. Although not initially attentive to nursing data, this institution later became more important to several is-sues directly influencing nursing, including issues related to nursing workforce recruitment and retention.
Nursing science, information science, and supporting clients is part of the definition of role-centred nursing informatics.
Clinical practice, administration, research, and education is part of the definition of nursing in-formatics related to information technology.
Advocating for health policy is the mandate for the International Council of Nurses (ICN), not the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).
