ANCC NURSING INFORMATICS ACTUAL 2026
CORRECT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔When an institution is transitioning to a CPOE, a primary role of the informatics
nurse is that of: - ✔✔Liason - When an institution is transitioning to a CPOE, a primary
role of the informatics nurse is that of liaison to promote multidisciplinary collaboration
and cooperation among the various members of the healthcare team, including nurses,
physicians, and IT specialists, to ensure that the end-product has the functionality that is
needed for workflow and that it meets the requirements for safety and security. Needs
regarding both hardware and software must be clearly communicated to IT personnel.
✔✔The network that connects the departments in an organization is likely a(n): -
✔✔LAN
✔✔The field of science that attempts to create intelligent technologies and then apply
these technologies to the field of informatics is: - ✔✔AI - Artificial Intelligence.
Researchers in artificial intelligence must engineer general intelligence and reasoning
skills into the artificial intelligence programs as well as the ability to develop and learn
from experiences and errors and to process natural language. One example of an
artificial intelligence program is Siri®, which responds to verbal queries and is found on
Apple devices, such as the iPhone and iPad.
✔✔In an EHR with CPOE and CDS, allergy alerts should be triggered: - ✔✔in response
to contraindicated drug order.
✔✔The human-technology interface (HTI): - ✔✔Allows user interaction with technology.
✔✔The nurse informaticist (NI) is working on the implementation of a replacement
laboratory system. One major consideration in order to have a fully operational system
is: - ✔✔Data Conversion - All responses are important, but in order to move from one
system to another the data needs to be moved.
,✔✔The organization has agreed to be the first major test site in which software will be
installed. This site is known as a/an: - ✔✔Beta site testing is the final stage of testing
(usually before commercial release). Primary and secondary sites are not the
appropriate terms and alpha site is an initial phase of testing often used in development
of software.
✔✔The Informatics Nurse Specialist is developing a test scenario to determine if the
admissions, discharge, and transfer application will work with the clinical documentation
and laboratory results reporting modules of a larger electronic health record. This is
known as: - ✔✔Integration testing is testing between systems. Unit testing only tests
one discrete function and acceptance testing occurs when users test entire system to
determine if the system meets the specified requirements of the design.
✔✔The implementation team has determined that the conversion to the new system will
occur department by department, with two weeks in between each installation. This is
known as: - ✔✔- Phased installation is when the implementation is done in stages,
where one phase leads to another.
✔✔Parallel installation defined: - ✔✔occurs when old and new system are implemented
simultaneously, and the 2 systems run simultaneously (i.e. paper and electronic, "old"
system and "new" system).
✔✔In a formal plan for implementation and testing it is not necessary to include: -
✔✔Crisis coaches.
Formal Plan must include: - Staff - Team members - Vendors - Executive staff - External
resources
✔✔A domain is: - ✔✔A copy of the software system, or environment, in a particular
state.
Rationale: A domain is a copy of the software system, or environment, in a particular
state. For example, test system (or domain); development system (or domain), training
system and production system.
✔✔"Bugs" in computer language are not really insects, but - ✔✔Abberancies
✔✔System and Functional Testing: - ✔✔includes multiple subsystems and phases of
testing.
Rationale: Systems are usually made up of subsystems and all must be tested. System
and Functional Testing must include security testing and must be structured and
controlled. Cultural impacts of new processes is not an aspect of testing.
✔✔When the SDLC is done correctly: - ✔✔There is a formal change management
process throughout to address new information as it comes to light. Change
management is vital to the installation of a system. There may be several phases,
, particularly during a phased approach and end-users do not have final say on all
aspects of the project and not all steps are done in order for all areas.
✔✔What are the pieces that require ongoing evaluation? - ✔✔all of the above. Ongoing
evaluation is needed on all aspects of the system - hardware, software, interfaces and
integrations (which are software), and support. Support can include training as well as
help desk operations.
✔✔Financial evaluation should: - ✔✔Include both tangible and intangible costs
✔✔The Informatics Nurse is concerned with user support. Procedure manuals will be
developed that will: - ✔✔Describe how to perform business tasks while using the
system
✔✔During the evaluation phase which of the following tools are used for construction
and consistency? - ✔✔all of the above
✔✔Which of the following is NOT part of documentation testing? - ✔✔subscriber color
preferences.
✔✔Quality Monitoring: - ✔✔Is part of system performance maintenance strategies.
✔✔Evaluation and support: - ✔✔Should be outlined in the original project plan as an
ongoing process.
✔✔Work flow: - ✔✔Changes in many ways including culture, productivity, and clinical
practice during an implementation
✔✔Which is NOT a type of maintenance? - ✔✔Flexible
✔✔What are the techniques that apply algorithms for extracting patterns from data
stored in data warehouses that are typically not apparent to human decision makers are
known as: - ✔✔Data mining or knowledge discovery in databases
✔✔There is no examples of wisdom in nursing practice, as it is merely a theoretical
concept.
True
False - ✔✔FALSE.
✔✔What kind of information might be included in a clinical practice guideline? - ✔✔All of
the above: Rationale: a CPG is typically written as a narrative text providing background
material and evidence. The strength of that evidence is ranked.
