Answer to Question 1

C
Even if you are disinterested in the position or think that the interview has gone badly, an appro-priate follow-up is a thank-you note to the interviewer. This recommended follow-up creates a positive impression and may leave open the possibility of future interactions.

Answer to Question 2

B
Using data collection and analysis and care process improvement techniques specific to nursing care, Florence Nightingale reduced the mortality rate in a military hospital in the Crimea from 60 to 1 (Kalisch & Kalisch, 1978). She is regarded as the founder of nursing outcomes mea-surement and management.
