Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
An advantage to using wireless handheld computers is that they are easily portable and can be used at the point of care (e.g., at client's bedside, in the home). Disadvantages to using wireless handheld computers include the nurse not being able to view the entire page of client information, a long learning curve, and the potential threat to the client's legal privacy rights.
