,Picot Model for generating EBP clinical questions - Answer: P = patient population (identify the
population of interest)
problem (identify primary problem)
I = intervention (identify the interventions to be considered)
C= comparison (identify what the intervention will be compared to)
O = outcomes (identify the goal of the intervention
T =time (time frame for measuring outcomes)
Behavioral systems model
- Dorothy Johnson - - Answer: is a model of nursing care that advocates the fostering of efficient
and effective behavioral functioning in the patient to prevent illness
nurse educator - Answer: master or doctoral prepared registered nurses who practice as full
time or adjunct faculty in college/universities, hospital based educational residency programs,
and/or health care facilities. Responsibilities for both classroom and practical setting include
mentoring and preparing future generations of nurses and current nurses in practice. They play
a vital role in serving as role models, while strengthening the nursing workforce, by assuring
quality educational opportunities, guiding employees and/or students through the learning
process, as well as implementing evidenced based research into practice; they also play a role in
evaluating and documenting educational learning experiences or outcomes.
Nurse Informaticist - Answer: relatively new, and involves the integration of the science of
nursing, computer science, and management of information science to communicate data,
knowledge, and information in nursing practice. generally have experience and training in both
the practical setting and computer science, to better enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of
the tools and strategies health care providers use as a means to improve the overall health care
experience and communication between the patient and the nurses; work in a variety of
settings, to include industrial, hospitals, and academic sectors that train current nurses in using
technology more effectively. also take on administrative roles, where their responsibilities

, include overseeing technology for an entire medical institution or health care system. Such
administrative roles, gives them the title and responsibilities of a Chief Information Officer.
Nurse administrator - Answer: typically are Master prepared nurses, whose positions requires a

supervising employees of health care, facilitating communication among members of the health
care team/staff and other areas of the healthcare system/organization, budgeting and decision
making, as well as formulation of policy
coach - Answer: a purposeful, complex, dynamic, collaborative, and holistic interpersonal
process aimed at supporting and facilitating patients and families through health-related
experiences and transitions to achieve health-related goals, mutually determined, whenever
possible. These goals may include higher levels of wellness, risk reduction, reduced morbidity
and suffering from chronic illness, and improved quality of life, including palliative care. This
APN process can best be understood as an intervention.
leadership - Answer: a core competency of advanced practice nursing, but the concept has
some unique characteristics in the APN context - involves three distinct defining characteristics
—mentoring, innovation, and activism.
their activities may range from taking a stand on behalf of an individual patient to advocating
for a change in national health policy.
classical organizational theory - Answer: the approach that assumes that there is a single best
way to design organizations. this approach assumes that managers need to have close control
