NUR 166 Exam #4 with complete solutions
A home health care nurse is using the steps of the SDLC to design a new system
for home health care documentation. The nurse analyzes the old system and
develops plans for the new system. What is the next step of the nurse in this
process?
a. Test
b. Design
c. Implement
d. Evaluate
B
After instituting a new system fir recording patient data, a nurse evaluates the
"usability" of the system. Which actions by the nurse BEST reflect this goal?
Select all that apply.
a. The nurse checks the screens are formatted to allow for ease of access
b. The nurse reorders the screen sequencing to maximize effective use of the
system.
c. The nurse ensures that the computers can be used by specified users
effectively
d. The nurse checks that the system is intuitive, and supportive of nurses
e. The nurse improves end-user skills and satisfaction with the new system
f. The nurses ensures patient data is able to be shared across health care
systems
A, C, D
A nurse is using informatics technology to decide which patients may be at risk
for readmission. What is the term for this type of analytic?
a. Data visualization
b. Predictive analytics
c. Big Data
d. Data recall
B
Population health addresses the health status and health issues of aggregate
populations and addresses ways in which resources may be allocated to address
these concerns. What is the driving force behind the use by health corporations
of analytics and big data support the population health.

, a. The transition from fee-for-service models to value-based payment models
b. A growing older population with more complicated health needs

representative of this technologic advance? Select all that apply.

f. Monitoring of progress following treatment
B, C, D
A nurse is testing a new computer program designed to store patient data. In
what phase of testing would the nurse determine if the system can handle high
volume of end-users or care providers using the system at the same time?
a. Unit
b. Function
c. Integration
d. Performance
D
Nurses test new technology in phases. In which phase would the nurse "test
drive" the new system?
a. Unit
b. Function
c. User acceptance
d. Integration
C
A nurse is using the steps in informatics evaluation to evaluate the use of a portal
as a patient resource. What are examples of activities that might occur in the
"determining the question" step? Select all that apply.
a. The nurse develops a clear, focused question to determine the data to be
collected.
b. The nurse determines what to evaluate
c. The nurse determines how the data should be reported
A, C
A nurse is using information from informatics technology that is synthesized that
