Answer to Question 1

A
The widespread use of nursing diagnosis language increased the need for similar classification systems for the different nursing diagnoses. Perhaps the computer's greatest contributions to nursing are in facilitating the development of a standardized language for documenting nurse-sensitive outcomes and patient outcomes that reflect the quality and effectiveness of nursing interventions.

Answer to Question 2

B
Oral drugs should be given with caution to patients who have difficulty swallowing. Drugs may not be given orally to patients with gastrointestinal intolerance or those who are NPO. The nurse should assess the patient's ability to swallow.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
