Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4
Rationale 1: Computers enhance academics for students in at least four ways, including access to nursing literature.
Rationale 2: Computers enhance academics for students in at least four ways, including computer-assisted instruction modules.
Rationale 3: Computers enhance academics for students in at least four ways, including teaching strategies employing PowerPoint presentations.
Rationale 4: Computers enhance academics for students in at least four ways, including online collaborative projects.
Rationale 5: Any form of graphicsnot necessarily computer-generated oneswould be effective in this application.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: NIC; NANDA; The Omaha system; HHCC; NOC
Rationale : HIPAA is a piece of legislation that increased privacy access to health records. The ANA has a position statement on privacy, confidentiality of medical records, and the nurse's role, but it is not one of the classification systems used in the United States. The ICN has proposed an International Classification for Nursing Practice, but it may take years to determine which standards will allow optimal access to and manipulation of computerized records.
