Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Key messages to share with board members include reporting the linkages between evi-dence-based practice and the organization's mission, values, strategic plan, and committees' functional responsibility within the organizational and nursing infrastructure. Reporting of project results is essential to garner continued support and recognition for the program. Reports will best capture attention when addressing three to five key talking points or take-away messages with clear links to organizational priorities and infrastructure. Reporting anticipated outcomes can be helpful early in the process. Cost savings or cost avoidance may not be achieved with every project but should be calculated whenever possible.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D, E
These four elements are required to establish legal liability on the grounds of malpractice.
