Answer to Question 1

prevention
Rationale : PHI is distinguished from other information systems and technology by its emphasis on prevention in populations (Yasnoff, O'Carroll, Koo, Linkins, & Kilbourne, 2000, p. 67). The focus on population health is linked to prevention as opposed to diagnosis and treatment. Public health has a governmental context as public health nearly always involves linkages to government agencies at the local, regional, national, or global levels.
Global Rationale:

Cognitive Level: Understanding
Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance
Client Need Sub:
Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Communication and Documentation
Learning Outcome:

Answer to Question 2

1,3,5
Rationale: Asynchronous teaching-learning enables learners and teachers to connect to virtual classrooms at different times; this flexibility supports a work environment where learners have different shifts and work days. Further, time is not spent commuting to and from a physical classroom. Online library resources are available when needed and when the seeker has time to search the literature. Learners acquire skills and confidence in using information technology.
