Answer to Question 1

C
Networking is the result of identifying, valuing, and maintaining relationships with a system of individuals who are sources of information, advice, and support. Many nurses have relatively limited networks within the organizations where they are employed. Active participation in nursing organizations is the most effective method of establishing a professional network outside one's place of employment.

Answer to Question 2

B
Despite the tendency to assume and measure outcomes as a simple linear relationship among client, nursing intervention, and an outcome, the reality of what happens is more complex, inter-active, and multidimensional (Oermann & Huber, 1999).
