Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Web addresses ending in .net would make the nurse double-check the reliability of the information to make sure it is accurate by looking for other sources to support the claims.A doctorate in nursing practice (DNP)degree indicates the author has a good educational basis from which to be considered an expert and would not make the nurse question the reliability of the writing.Articles with a reference list indicate the writing is based on other sources and would not make the nurse question the reliability of the writing.Information that is less than 5 years old is considered up to date; some classic content,original theory,or research may be even older and still remain relevant.
