A Nurse is reviewing a patient's pneumonia vaccination status in the electronic medical record.
The nurse determines the patient needs this vaccine before discharge to meet the requirements
of a current clinical pathway.

A nursing informatics specialist at a small, rural hospital implemented a clinical information
system utilizing an electronic health record (EHR). She obtained input from nurses regarding
selection of the specific EHR. She noted that some of the nurses had negative attitudes towards
a change to the EHR, but she encouraged them to try the system and note its benefits. She
implemented the system after all nurses were trained about the EHR. There were numerous

personnel were new to the system. Which barrier to implementing technology is present in the
scenario? - ANSLack of continued support
How is information related to data? - ANSInformation is data that has been interpreted
How does information literacy support the use of evidence-based-practice (EBP) in nursing? -
