Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Practitioners use evidence-based patient-driven protocols to extend the length of stay, allocate and titrate respiratory care services, resist automation of treatment based on patient data, avoid confrontation with nurses regarding patient care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Wireless hand-held computers offer several advantages in comparison to nonwireless systems and paper charts. Hand-held computers facilitate the organization and assignment of workload and the fulfillment of physicians' orders, and improve documentation. Documentation of patient as-sessment then becomes immediately available to other members of the health care team in the hospital information system. Moreover, by comparison, computerized documentation is more legible.
