Answer to Question 1

C
To have credibility, nurses must demonstrate professional competence. Even caring, empathetic, and
responsible nurses find themselves in situations where their credibility is questioned.

Answer to Question 2

c

a. Incorrect: Patient classification systems provide information about trends in patient acuity, but not about workforce trends.
b. Incorrect: Patient classification systems predict the demand for nursing care, not for supplies.
c. Correct: Patient classification systems group patients based on the amount of direct nursing care they require, and use a classification scheme to predict the demand for nursing care. They are used to calculate staffing requirements.
d. Incorrect: Patient classification systems are not considered to be consistent, reliable, or useful by many, because they show trends in patient acuity, but not in nursing workload.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
