Answer to Question 1

4. Accessing bibliographic databases online.

Rationale:
Accessing databases online can pinpoint those journals and projects that relate directly to the research project. Trying to find applicable articles and journals in any library is time consuming and may result in inappropriate material that cannot be filtered by hand the way it can by a computer. Google is not an efficient avenue for accessing nursing research.

Answer to Question 2

1. Home pregnancy tests can provide a false negative and should be repeated in a week if your period has not yet started..

Rationale:
False-negative results with home pregnancy tests are high, and so follow-up is indicated if symptoms of pregnancy occur. If the results are negative, the woman should repeat the test in 1 week if she has not started her period. Home pregnancy tests do not lose their effectiveness for 2 years. Blood sampling and ultrasounds are not required to confirm the results of home pregnancy tests.
