Answer to Question 1

A
The elements of a PICO question include population (intensive care patients), intervention (urinary catheter care practices), comparison (missing), and outcome (decrease infection).

Answer to Question 2

D
Today, there are many groups working to standardize nursing terminologies to make the value of nursing care explicit and comparable in electronic systems. Standardized terminology may make searching easier, combine similar terms, and may eventually lead to third-party reimbursement, but this is not the main value of standardized terminology.
