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.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
Documentation serves five purposes:
 It communicates to others care received or not received.
 It conveys pertinent information about the client's condition and response to treatment interventions.
 It substantiates the quality of care by showing adherence to care standards.
 It provides evidence for reimbursement.
 It serves as source of data that can be compiled or aggregated and then analyzed to establish best practice interventions. This includes electronic data, which can be aggregated to monitor outcomes of care processes for quality improvement, a QSEN competency.
