WGU D220- INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN NURSING PRACTICE EXAM 100%
COMPLETE 2024-2025!!.GUARANTEED PASS
2. How does information technology benefit hospital operations?: IT applica-
tions are integral to hospital operations, enhancing administration, clinical, and
nursing departments, and improving efficiency and effectiveness in critical care
services. R%^&*()_)(*&^
3. What role does IT play in patient admission and clinical record retrieval?: IT
facilitates patient admission and clinical record retrieval, streamlining processes to
ensure timely and accurate care.
4. What are some applications of information technology in patient care?: IT
processes, stores, and integrates physiological and diagnostic data, supports clin-
ical decisions with alerts, allows remote access to patient information, documents
patient care, evaluates outcomes, and trends data graphically.
5. What is the purpose of physiological monitors in nursing?: Physiological
monitors are used to recognize arrhythmias, measure hemodynamic parameters,
evaluate cardiac pump output, assess vascular system integrity, monitor respiratory
gases, and store/transmit data.
6. What is the thermodilution technique?: A non-invasive hemodynamic monitor-
ing device that tracks blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac output t rends.
7. What are common issues leading to alarms in pulse oximetry?: Common
issues include interference from blood pressure cuffs, tourniquets, and air splints,
which can cause difficulty in distinguishing between arterial and venous blood
pressure.
8. What are the anticipated problems and solutions for pulse oximetry?: Pre-
vention includes familiarizing with machine user guides, especially troubleshooting
sections, and noting sensitivity, charging times, and durability differences among
pulse oximeters.

9. How does telemetry enhance hemodynamic monitoring?: Teleing for remote
continuous hemodynamic monitoring of patients outside the ICU, allow
observation.
