3. As a differentiated practice, nursing informatics is focused upon the client, the environment,
health, and the nurse.

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
