ATI NURSING INFORMATICS EXAM
2026 COMPREHENSIVE STUDY SET
QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
1. The Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER) initiative focused on which
primary objective for nursing?
A. Ensuring all nurses are capable of writing complex code for electronic health records.
B. Promoting nursing informatics as a specialty recognized by the American Nurses
Association.
C. Replacing traditional bedside nursing with automated robotic systems.
D. Developing a nursing workforce capable of using information technology to improve
patient care.
Answer: D
Conceptual Explanation: The TIGER initiative was established to foster a nursing
workforce that is information literate and competent in using technology to enhance safety
and efficiency in patient care.
2. Which level of interoperability allows two systems to exchange data and use the
information that has been exchanged because the data is formatted in a standardized way?
A. Foundational Interoperability
,B. Structural Interoperability
C. Semantic Interoperability
D. Organizational Interoperability
Answer: C
Conceptual Explanation: Semantic interoperability is the highest level, allowing systems
to exchange data and interpret that data automatically to provide meaningful information.
3. A nurse is reviewing a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS). Which of the following is a
potential risk associated with the overuse of alerts in a CDSS?
A. Increased data redundancy
B. Loss of data integrity
C. System latency
D. Alert fatigue
Answer: D
Conceptual Explanation: Alert fatigue occurs when clinicians are exposed to a high
volume of alerts, leading to them being ignored or overridden, which can compromise
patient safety.
4. Which standard terminology is specifically designed for use in the electronic health record
to represent clinical information such as diseases, findings, and procedures?
A. LOINC
, B. SNOMED-CT
C. NANDA-I
D. NIC
Answer: B
Conceptual Explanation: SNOMED-CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine—Clinical
Terms) is a comprehensive clinical terminology used to standardize documentation in
EHRs.
5. Under the HITECH Act, ‘Meaningful Use’ (now part of Promoting Interoperability) was
designed to:
A. Provide free computers to all nursing students.
B. Restrict the use of patient data for research purposes.
C. Encourage healthcare providers to use EHR technology to improve quality, safety, and
efficiency.
D. Replace HIPAA regulations with more stringent privacy laws.
Answer: C
Conceptual Explanation: The primary goal of Meaningful Use was to incentivize the
adoption of EHRs to improve patient outcomes and population health.
