Answer to Question 1

B
The material reviewed on the laboratory report is information because they correspond to the patient's physiological condition. Data (raw numbers) alone have no meaning without associating the values with the patient's health status. The laboratory results become knowledge when the nurse interprets the laboratory readings to understand the patient's condition. The nurse uses wisdom when applying the laboratory values to findings to determine an appropriate plan of care for the patient.

Answer to Question 2

D
CINAHL, The Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, is a literature database covering nursing, allied health, biomedical, and consumer health journal articles. CINAHL may be accessed by the Internet or in hard copy in most libraries.
