Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Software needs to be based on a standardized terminology for many reasons. A reasonable level of standardization involving practice, documentation, and information management helps home health nurses and other related community-based system clinicians provide better quality care and share details about that care with those within and outside of their organizations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
The core values are essential so that nurses help patients and their families increase their knowledge, gain skills, and become independent with their care. Nurses must be very flexible; they need to modify their schedules frequently.
