Answer to Question 1

C
Evidence-based practice was first used by the founder of nursing, Florence Nightingale.

Answer to Question 2

C
Medicare has specific guidelines for establishing eligibility for home care reimbursement. When nurses provide home care, documentation must specifically address the category of care and the patients' responses to care. Documentation in the home care system has different implications than in other areas of nursing. The documentation is both the quality control and the justification for reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance companies.
