Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Continuing education programs on the Internet may be taken at any time convenient for the health care professional. Further advantages include highly individualized instruction, immediate feedback, and a decrease in expenses for travel between sites. It also means no associated interruptions to client services that would take place while the health care provider is traveling between sites.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Implementation of information technology is a very political process, particularly in the cost-controlled health care delivery systems of today. The realization of a successful system for nursing requires a strong nurse leader who is politically savvy and technologically competent. To begin this process of change it is important to realize that there will be obstacles that may impede the forward progress of the strategies. Clinical operation disruption is minimized via the identification of the processes and their changes which are then included in user training and implemented by the management team. The implementation plan should include a strategy to support people and process changes (Wolf, Greenhouse, Diamond, Fera, & McCormick, 2006).
