Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Data integrity refers to the ability to collect, store, and retrieve correct, complete, and current data so that it will be available to authorized users when needed. If the data are faulty or incomplete, the quality of derived information may be poor, resulting in decisions that may be inappropriate and possibly harmful to clients. A one minute computer outage would disrupt operations but would not necessarily impact data integrity.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 4
Rationale:
Assumptions that may help to guide nursing actions include that family members need full disclosure and clear explanations, that their confidence influences care giving, and that they have rights and can make choices. Families are usually comfortable with other family members and want to be involved, but will need information that will enable their involvement.
