To assess the quality of information,the nurse should attempt to find information about the authors,the purpose of the site (to share information or sell a product?),any available editorial reviews,the date of the material,the design of the site (easy to navigate? well organized?),etc.Assessing if the material was enjoyable to read does not help the nurse to assess the quality of inforamtion that was read by the client.
