The nurse understands that nursing informatics is recognized as a specialty area of practice by
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
which statement?
s s
1. Research priorities for nursing informatics include the development of a standard nursing
s s s s s s s s s s s
language and the development of databases for clinical information.
s s s s s s s s s
2. A formal educational program at the master's level must be completed before a nurse is
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
eligible to sit for the credentialing examination.
s s s s s s s
3. As a differentiated practice, nursing informatics is focused upon the client, the environment,
s s s s s s s s s s s s
health, and the nurse.
s s s s
4. There is a need for nursing informatics interests to gain representation by work groups and
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
organizations within the United States.
s s s s s
Correct Answer: 1 s s
Rationale 1: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice. Although
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing is typically at the
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. Current demands for safer,cost-effective,
s s s s s s s s s s s s s
quality care require evidence of the best practices supported by research.
s s s s s s s s s s s
Rationale 2: Such a formal educational program does not necessarily mean a specialty area of
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
is typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. The development of
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
s s s s s s s s s s
Rationale 3: Your chosen response refers to the entire discipline of nursing. The specialty of nursing
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and
s s s s s s s s s s s s
communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom into nursing practice. Thedevelopment of
s s s s s s s s s s s s
research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
s s s s s s s s s s
Rationale 4: There are many work groups in the United States related to informatics that focus on the
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
specialty of informatics practice. One example is the Nursing Informatics Special InterestGroup of
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
the International Medical Informatics Association. The development of research priorities is a key
s s s s s s s s s s s s s
point in a specialty practice.
