Answer to Question 1

B
Data are raw, unprocessed numbers, symbols, or words that have no meaning by themselves. Information consists of groupings of data processed into a meaningful, structured form. Knowledge is formed when data are grouped, creating meaningful information and relationships, which are then added to other structured information. Wisdom is the appropriate use of knowledge in managing or solving human problems.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Delegation of patient care tasks to other healthcare workers is one of the most important responsibilities of the registered nurse. When delegating tasks, the nurse must take into consideration the skills and competency of the team members as well as the condition and needs of the clients receiving care. The nurse is also responsible for supervising patient care to ensure that it is competently delivered.
