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?).
