Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Peer-reviewed (expert peers review manuscripts prior to publication for their appropriateness) and evidence-based journals contain the most recent research and applications based upon research. The textbook may have been published this year but will contain older information than the journal. The brochure will advertise supplies for purchase but will not offer information about the latest research. The example Web site may or may not be reliable and valid, and there is no guarantee that it is kept up-to-date with the latest research related to diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Textbooks become outdated, so it is necessary to purchase current ones. Anyone can put information on a Web site, so information may or may not be accurate. It is necessary to critically appraise online information, but this does not mean that the student must personally know the individual who posts the information. Textbooks should not be seen solely as a supplement or adjunct to online information.
