Correct Answer: 1 n n
Rationale 1: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing is
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
typicallyat the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. Current demands for safer, cost-
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
effective, quality care require evidence of the best practices supported by research.
n n n n n n n n n n n
Rationale 2: Such a formal educational program does not necessarily mean a specialty area of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
is typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. The development of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.

Rationale 3: Your chosen response refers to the entire discipline of nursing. The specialty of nursing
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and
n n n n n n n n n n n n
communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom into nursingpractice. The development of
n n n n n n n n n n n n
research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
n n n n n n n n n n
Rationale 4: There are many work groups in the United States related to informatics that focus on the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
specialtyofinformatics practice. One example is theNursing Informatics Special Interest Group of
