Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) focuses on nursing and allied health articles, including research. In this database, the user can search systematically for articles that are related to nursing research, peer reviewed, published, and so on.
Rationale 2: Google search engine gives a variety of sites, both health-related and non-health-related, but there are no controls for accuracy with this database.
Rationale 3: The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) would include all areas of academia, not just nursing.
Rationale 4: PsychINFO includes only psychological abstracts.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Although being involved in one's care is desirable, there are concerns related to information accessed on the Internet.
Rationale 2: This statement is not necessarily true, although there are concerns about information accessed on the Internet.
Rationale 3: Although this statement isn't incorrect, the client should be able to access reliable information in order to be well informed.
Rationale 4: Thousands of health-related sites exist on the Internet, with new ones occurring daily. There are no controls to ensure that information provided on these sites is accurate. Therefore, the nurse should help the client find reliable and accurate information. Clients are involved consumers. Wanting more information about their medications, disease processes, and treatment options is taking a proactive approach to their own care. It is appropriate to ask questions and seek information from a variety of sources. However, nurses must assist clients in making sure the information they gather is credible and accurate.
