Answer to Question 1

C
Nurses make critical judgement about the care of patients based on research evidence, clinical
experience, and patient values and preferences. The search for best evidence should be systematic. A
systematic critical appraisal of literature is an effective strategy for identifying recommendations for
improving practice. Nurse values and preferences should not be the basis for patient care.

Answer to Question 2

A
The hospital has the responsibility for providing each employee with a safe environment in which to
work and reasonable treatment and behavior from other health care providers with whom the employee
must interact. Lack of knowledge of the sexual harassment does not eliminate the hospital's liability.
