Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Postmenopausal women have a greater problem with osteoporosis than do older men.
B Muscle fibres are reduced in size with aging.
C Older adults who exercise regularly do not lose as much bone and muscle mass or muscle tone as do those who are inactive.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A The Canada Health Infoway is an incorporated national body with the mandate to generate consensus on health information standards and to drive forward a national agenda of creating an electronic health record (EHR), and to act as the liaison to international standards and development organizations. The Canada Health Infoway is not an obstacle to collecting nursing data.
B The ICNP was developed by the International Council of Nurses (ICN). The ICNP comprises seven axes with associated terms for describing nursing practice and is the only unified international terminology for recording nursing practice. The ICNP is not an obstacle to collecting nursing data.
C Lack of evidence-based practices is not an obstacle to the collection of nursing data. As health care systems respond to an increasingly complex technological environment, long-standing routines and tools are being superseded by strategic, evidence-based practices that demand high-quality, timely health information.
D Despite the escalation of technology in health care and the recognition of nursing informatics, persistent absence of universally accepted methods for defining and coding nursing contributions to health outcomes is a significant obstacle to the collection of nursing data.
