Answer to Question 1

2, 5, 1, 3, 4
Explanation: This follows very closely with the nursing process. The nurse must know the question to be
answered before beginning the search for the evidence with which to answer it. Nurses always
evaluate an action once it is complete.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. The demand for nurses is increasing because of sicker clients both in the hospital and in
outpatient settings. It is true that more are retiring than are entering (especially Baby Boomers),
there are insufficient nursing faculty numbers, and women outnumber men and minorities in
the profession.
