Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4

In order to assess an author's credibility, the student should review the author's credentials, conduct a literature search using the author's name, or look for links to information about the author. Just because an author is published on the Internet does not mean the author is credible. Authors that self-sponsor their Internet sites may not be credible.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 6, 5, 3, 4, 1

Fred Davis describes a six-stage doctrinal conversion process among nursing students: Stage 1, initial innocence; Stage 2, labeled recognition of incongruity; Stage 3, psyching out and role simulation; Stage 4, increasing role simulation; Stage 5, provisional internalization; and Stage 6, stable internalization.
