Answer to Question 1

A
Human rights, social justice, equality, and interest in promoting global health care reform are all tied to the advocate role.
The direct caregiver would be more concerned with providing care for basic human needs and collaborative care of medical or surgical problems.
The manager can be in charge of other health care personnel or in charge of a patient load, but the role involves securing needed resources for optimal care.
The researcher uses curiosity to either participate in research or read and incorporate best practices in patient care.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
EBP offers advantages for nursing, including better patient outcomes, decreased health care costs, enhanced work satisfaction, and improved quality of care. It does not improve intraprofessional communication.
