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?).

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
