Answer to Question 1

D
More people now question why certain health care approaches are used, which ones work, and which ones do not. Thus evidence-based practice is one response to this shift in thinking, which nurses and other health professionals cannot ignore. Evidence-based practice is a guide for how nurses make accurate, timely, and appropriate clinical decisions.

Answer to Question 2

B
An acuity recording system determines the hours of care for a nursing unit and the number of staff required to care for a given group of patients.
