Answer to Question 1

B
A problem-focused trigger is one you face while caring for patients or a trend you see on a nurs-ing unit. A knowledge-focused trigger is a question that arises as a result of new information available on a topic, such as current information in literature. Titler et al. (2001) suggest using problem- and knowledge-focused triggers to think critically about clinical and operational nurs-ing-unit issues. It does not include literature or an expectations trigger.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
Nutrients essential for effective, efficient body function include water, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients can be classified as energy nutrients, which release energy for the body's use; organic nutrients, which build and maintain body tissue and regulate body processes; and inorganic nutrients, which provide a medium for chemical reactions within the body, transport materials, maintain body temperature, promote bone formation, and conduct nerve impulses.
