Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Robots should be able to get medications to the floor more quickly. However, since there is still
great room for error, the registered nurse will still have to complete the six rights of medication
administration to ensure client safety.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Assessing outcomes is the last step of the EBP process.
Rationale 2: Evaluation of the evidence is step 3.
Rationale 3: Identifying the clinical question is the first step in the EBP process.
Rationale 4: Acquiring the evidence to answer the question is step 2.
