Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The Internet is becoming a source of up-to-date health information, not only for nurses but for patients as well. Many Internet sites meet the needs of both. Patients should be aware that not all information presented on the Internet is accurate or appropriate.

ANS: A
Each patient should be asked his or her name as the nurse checks the identification bracelet. In a hospital setting, medication should never be given to a patient who is not wearing an identification bracelet.
