Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Orders entered into the CPOE still require the nurse to review and therefore would need further instructions.
B This is a correct statement and therefore does not require further instructions.
C This is a correct statement and therefore does not require further instructions.
D This is a correct statement and therefore does not require further instructions.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nursing instructor would recognize that further teaching is needed if a student responded that A =
acceptable. The acronym SMART when applied to career planning stands for S = specific, M =
measurable, A = achievable, R = realistic, and T = timely.
