Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
CPOE and the MAR are crucial to nurses' care of patients. The billing system, registration system, and SAN support other operational functions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The key reason is that if a system fails and data is lost or data integrity is in question, available backups allow the system to be recovered with accurate and complete data. The work of physicians, billing, and the interface engine all depend on a complete and accurate recovered system but are single functions rather than the overarching, key reason to do complete backups.
