Answer to Question 1

B
Writing devices are preferred as they do not limit the patient's messages compared to a message board or cards. Eye blinks are tiring and time-consuming. Computers require space and the ability to type.

Answer to Question 2

acuity
Patient acuity, which is reflected in 24-hour charting compilation, can dictate staffing needs.
