Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

One of the selling points of an electronic health record is that charting at point of care is possible, which helps to increase efficiency. Point of care refers to interventions or testing that takes place using a transportable, portable, or handheld device near or at the bedside of the client.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C

Nurses consider safety at all points during the nursing process, and while working to prioritize client needs. Risks to safety include medications that could cause adverse effects such as antihypertensives and pain medication and factors that can impact falls such as mobility issues or balance. Living with family, eating a balanced diet, and having annual eye examinations do not increase the client's risk for safety issues.
