Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Information literacy necessitates that nurses have the ability to find, evaluate, and effectively use information. The other answers are examples of computer literacy but do not have the higher functions of information literacy.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
