Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Campus health centers that use the internet as a tool for health education must train nursing students regarding how to search for and evaluate the health information they find. Sites of interest for the campus would not directly impact the nursing program. Information technology is a subject that teaches nurses how to use technology for the delivery of care and communication. Libraries are important, but knowing about them would not be a part of this presentation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, D

Increasing research in nursing is contributing to nursing practice. Salary level is not a criterion for a profession. The number of practitioners is not related to professionalism. A service orientation differentiates nursing from occupations pursued primarily for profit. As a profession, nursing is establishing a well-defined body of knowledge and expertise.
