Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,4
Rationale: Decision support systems

Answer to Question 2

1,3,5
Rationale: Standardized nursing languages, including NANDA and NIC (also Nursing Outcomes Classification, (NOC)), support automation of nursing documentation so that comparisons among data may be made. These remove the ambiguity of meaning found in other documentation systems. The SOAP note and the charting by exception choices are not standardized and do not support the automation of nursing documentation.
