Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Best evidence is necessary to systematically determine the possible benefit of nursing treatments. Evaluation of studies is not necessary to maintain licensure, improve one's clinical assessment skills, or implement protocols that are already established.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Guidelines called the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials or CONSORT guidelines have been adopted by major medical and nursing journals to help readers track study participants. CONSORT flow charts, when available, should be scrutinized in interpreting study results. CONSORT guidelines do not address the study findings or analysis.
