Answer to Question 1

D
The steps in the method for conducting evidence reports in nursing based on a PICO-based method are
to formulate a well-built question, identify articles and other evidence-based resources that answer the
question, critically appraise the evidence to assess its validity, apply the evidence, reevaluate the
application of evidence and areas for improvement.

Answer to Question 2

B
Risk management programs in hospitals are set up to investigate and correct system problems that may
contribute to errors in patient care or to employee injury. They have an emphasis upon quality
improvement and the protection of the institution from financial liability. Ethics departments/programs
deal with bioethical problems and dilemmas. While risk management personnel may reside within a
quality management/improvement department, they are specially trained in risk prevention and are
able to focus on identifying risk behaviors and correcting problems.
