A nursing student is doing clinicals at a hospital implementing a new computer system. Trying to generalize the information is key, since the student nurse plans to move after graduation. This is due to the fact that:
 
  1. Each hospital will have its own system.
  2. Facilities never use the same computer system.
  3. Computer standards change routinely.
  4. Students are not expected to know all the details of a computer system.

Question 2

Services that are representative of today's concept of home care include:
 
  1. A case manager arranging services to meet the client's need for physical therapy after a fall.
  2. A nurse educating the pregnant teenager on the signs of premature labor.
  3. A durable supply company delivering a wheelchair to a client with spina bifida.
  4. A nurse assessing the feet of a home bound diabetic client.
  5. A grocery store delivering groceries to a client recovering from cancer surgery.

Rationale 4: This is not true since appropriate documentation of care is dependent upon having that knowledge.
