Answer to Question 1

C
To incorporate the current, best evidence in your nursing practice, you must be able to locate the evidence, evaluate its quality and relevance to the problem, and apply the solution to clinical care. Computers are useful for data access, management, storage, and retrieval when conducting research or reviewing research findings. Specialized software aids in statistical analysis of research data. Computers are not available to all personnel in all healthcare institutions. Not all literature supporting best evidence is accessible electronically. Computer skills are obtained with training and/or experience in order to conduct literature searches using online databases.

Answer to Question 2

A
Wisdom is the appropriate use of knowledge in managing or solving human problems. Data are raw, unprocessed numbers, symbols, or words that have no meaning by themselves. Information consists of groupings of data processed into a meaningful, structured form. Knowledge is formed when data are grouped, creating meaningful information and relationships, which are then added to other structured information.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
