v v v v v v v v v
2. A formal educational program at the master's level must be completed before a nurse is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

Correct Answer: 1 v v
Rationale 1: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
typicallyat the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. Current demands for safer, cost-
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
effective, quality care require evidence of the best practices supported by research.
v v v v v v v v v v v
Rationale 2: Such a formal educational program does not necessarily mean a specialty area of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
is typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. The development of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
v v v v v v v v v v
Rationale 3: Your chosen response refers to the entire discipline of nursing. The specialty of nursing
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and
v v v v v v v v v v v v
communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom into nursingpractice. The development of
v v v v v v v v v v v v
research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
v v v v v v v v v v
Rationale 4: There are many work groups in the United States related to informatics that focus on the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
specialtyofinformatics practice. One example is theNursing Informatics Special Interest Group of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
the International Medical Informatics Association. The development of research priorities is a key
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
