Answer to Question 1

A
Clinical information systems can be used by any clinician, including nurses, to plan, implement and evaluate care and can be used for charting, reviewing laboratory test results, and ordering sterile supplies. Administrative information systems comprise databases such as payroll, financial, and quality assurance systems. Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) refers to a process by which the health care provider directly enters orders for patient care into the hospital information system. The clinical decision support system (CDSS) links the nurse to the latest evidence-based practice guidelines at the point of care.

Answer to Question 2

B
Controlled substances are securely locked away, and only authorized personnel have access to them. Maintain precise records regarding the dispensing, wasting, and storage of controlled sub-stances. There are criminal penalties for the misuse of controlled substances. Routine and over-the-counter drugs are not controlled substances. Controlled substances required an order by a licensed physician or in some states advanced practice nurses.
