Chapter 1 Nursing Science and the Foundation of Knowledge
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/




The nurse understands that nursing informatics is recognized as a specialty area of
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


practice by which statement?
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/




1. Research priorities for nursing informatics include the development of a standard
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


nursing language and the development of databases for clinical information.
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/




2. A formal educational program at the master's level must be completed before
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


a nurse is eligible to sit for the credentialing examination.
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/




3. As a differentiated practice, nursing informatics is focused upon the client, the
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


environment, health, and the nurse.
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/




4. There is a need for nursing informatics interests to gain representation by work
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


groups and organizations within the United States.
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/




Correct Answer: 1 </>/ </>/




Rationale 1: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


for credentialing is typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


field. Current demands for safer, cost-effective, quality care require evidence of
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


the best practices supported by research.
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/




Rationale 2: Such a formal educational program does not necessarily mean a
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


specialty area of practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


degree required for credentialing is typically at the bachelor's level and includes
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


experience in the field. The development of 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 informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, and
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


wisdom into nursing practice. The development of research priorities is a key point in
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


a specialty practice.
</>/ </>/ </>/




Rationale 4: There are many work groups in the United States related to
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


informatics that focus on the specialty of informatics practice. One example is the
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


Nursing Informatics Special Interest Group of the International Medical Informatics
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


Association. The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


practice.

Question 2 </>/


Type: MCSA
</>/ </>/




Which statement by the nurse verifies that the nurse is "information literate"?
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/




1. "I understand how to search for a website and evaluate its usefulness for health care
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


needs."
</>/




2. "I utilize databases in the health care setting to input client information
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


such as skin condition."
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/




3. "I use email over the Internet to correspond with clients and provide information."
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/




4. "I can use software applications such as word processing, spreadsheets, and
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


presentations."
</>/




Correct Answer: 1 </>/ </>/




Rationale 1: Information literacy necessitates that nurses have the ability to find,
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


evaluate, and effectively use information. The other answers are examples of computer
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


literacy but do not have the higher functions of information literacy.
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/




Rationale 2: Your chosen response is an example of computer literacy, but it does not
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


have the higher functions of information literacy. Information literacy necessitates that
</>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/ </>/


nurses have the ability to find, evaluate, and effectively use information.
