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

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.
