Answer to Question 1

A
Research by Lake and Friese; Aiken, Smith, and Lake; and Aiken, Sloane, Lake, Sochalski, and Weber
support the importance of the nurse's work environment to enhanced continuity of patient care,
increased levels of patient satisfaction, and lower mortality rate.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nine sources of evidence (information) linked to a central core of valid and current research in the
University of Colorado Hospital Model are patient preference; clinical expertise; cost-effective
analysis; infection control data (not comparison analysis data); benchmarking data; pathophysiology;
retrospective or concurrent chart review; quality improvement and risk data; and international,
national, and local standards.
