Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The patient's perception of his or her care is just as important as the outcome of the care. If the patient perceives the care as meeting the aspects of quality, then patient satisfaction increases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E, G
To facilitate the use of evidence, steps have been developed to systematically approach a question of patient care. The steps are outlined as follows:
Develop an answerable question
Search the literature to uncover evidence to answer the question
Evaluate the evidence found
Apply the evidence to the practice situation
Evaluate the outcome
The nursing process is a method of problem solving and can be used to develop a plan of care. Formulating a question that has not been answered in the research would be considered primary research. Therefore, there is no evidence in which to draw from.
