Answer to Question 1

D
The EHR can vary according to institution and is employed through integrative technology for the entry of data from all healthcare professionals. Although a student knows how to use a computer, this knowledge may not directly translate so that the student is able to accurately document in any particular institution. A person needs to be taught the specifics of each system. A student who understands that even though the system has been taught to him also knows that the instructor will be a resource for EHR questions that may arise. The EHR generally integrates information to be used by the healthcare team. Data can be collected and analyzed multiple ways to evaluate and improve patient care.

Answer to Question 2

B
The CUBAN acronym is used in all types of report formats and stands for Confidential, Uninterrupted, Brief, Accurate, Named nurse. Following this format, the nurse giving report has a guide to remember the important data that need to be shared with the oncoming nurse who will care for the patient. Report should not be rushed in order for a nurse to finish the shift as quickly as possible. However, the nurse should try to begin report before the shift is over, early enough to complete report before the next shift begins. The CUBAN approach does not require walking rounds. The CUBAN acronym can be used for report about any patient regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion and does not necessarily provide cultural information. It is not specific to Latino patients.
