Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
In the evaluation phase of evidence-based care, the nurse asks whether the application of evidence leads to an improvement in care. This is done by examining clearly specified outcomes from the evidence-based plan. This also involves the use of outcome measurement and reevaluation. The remaining options look either at medical evidence or subjective information from family and the patient that is anecdotal.
