Answer to Question 1

D
Extracting evidence from the existing literature and research is a required skill for nurses and health care professionals. This requires information literacy and is a part of evidence-based practice (EBP). For Nurse T's search on chest pain, the following guidelines are recommended especially when using Web-based resources and databases: 1) must have a clear clinical question from a patient's problem, 2) search for best available evidence relevant to the intervention at hand, and 3) evaluate the evidence for validity and usefulness before implementing into clinical practice.

Answer to Question 2

D
When evaluating information found on the Internet, one mnemonic that can be helpful is to ask oneself, am I PLEASED with the site? This acronym stands for: P = Purpose (what is the author's purpose in developing the site?), L = Links (evaluate the links at the site), E = Editorial (site content), A = Author (who is the author of this site?), S = Site navigation (is the site easy to navigate?), E = Ethical disclosure (is there contact information for the developer and author?), and D = Date site last updated (is the content and information on the site current?).

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
