Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Boolean searching uses terms AND, OR, and NOT in the search string. These terms assist the user in increasing the precision of the search. A directory is a list of websites found on the internet that have been organized by a hierarchy determined by the author of the directory. Keyword searching is a descriptive term that can be used to search documents. When you use basic keyword searching, the program is being commanded to identify every document that has the keyword anywhere in the document. Keyword searching is useful for identifying large amounts of information on a topic. A search string is the words or commands that are entered into a search box to identify the desired information.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The most recent nursing and health care literature published is indexed in CINAHL, which is a valid and reliable source of information for community health nurses planning programming for aggregates in their community practice. The National Library of Medicine offers a database called DIRLINE that provides access to organizations focusing on health. Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) is an electronic database with many publications relating to teaching and education. The Google search engine gives a variety of sites, including those related to health and those not, with no restrictions on accuracy with the database.
