Answer to Question 1

B
Models of reimbursement affect which services and approaches (e.g., decreasing the number of services used) might be financially viable and add value for clients. It is critical to determine and advertise the value of nursing care. Services that add value are of high quality, affect health out-comes positively, and minimize costs.

Answer to Question 2

A
EBP is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and the patients' unique values and circumstances. In this situation, the family's values and preferences would be consi-dered. Search of databases, clarification of the question, and gaining staff input would occur in the process.
