Which resource for evidence-based research is provided
by the National Library of Medicine?
a. BMJ Publishing
b. CINAHL
c. PubMed
d. World View on Evidence based- nursing
PubMed is a resource for evidence-based research that is
provided by the National Library of Medicine, which was
developed by the National Center for Biotechnology
Information (NCBI). PubMed provides access to numerous
databases with 24 million citations from MEDLINE (the
National Library of Medicine's bibliographic database with
references to life sciences and biomedical sciences), life
,Page 2 of 162
science journals, and electronic books with links to full
text when it is available.
When considering transitioning to cloud storage and
assessing vendors, the most critical assessment relates to:
a. regulatory compliance
b. monitoring mechanisms
c. cost analysis
d. interoperability
The most critical assessment relates to compliance with
regulatory requirements because if the vendor cannot
verify that the company meets HIPAA requirements and
satisfies the Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, Part 11
(which provides regulations regarding electronic records
and electronic signatures), then security of patient data
may be inadequate. Other important considerations
include cost analysis (including cost of implementation
and ongoing costs), monitoring mechanisms, and
interoperability.

When utilizing a prioritization matrix to prioritize activities
as a project manager, the informatics nurse must first
establish:
a. rating scale and categories
b. criteria and timeframe
c. criteria and rating scale
d. rating scale and timeframe
the informatics nurse must first establish criteria and a
rating scale. The criteria includes those factors that are
utilized to determine how important each project is; for
example, a project mandated by regulations is more
important than a project that may improve customer
satisfaction. A rating scale for each project should be
established with numeric values (such as 1 to 10) used to
demonstrate how effective the project is in meeting the
criteria. A typical prioritization matrix may have up to a
dozen criteria.

An advantage of an identity and access management
(IAM) system is that the IAM system:
a. provides HIPAA-required encryption for PHI
b. satisfies the Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, Part
11
c. meets HIPAA's Security Rule requirements regarding
access to PHI
d. meets HIPAA's Privacy Rule requirements regarding
identification
An advantage of an identity and access management
(IAM) system is that the IAM system meets HIPAA's
Security Rule requirements regarding access to PHI
through identity management. An IAM system provides,
captures, updates, and records user IDs and provides
appropriate access privileges, preventing "privilege
creep," which increases risks to security. The IAM system
should provide authentication (single sign-in and session
management), authorization (based on roles, rules, and
attributes), user management (provisioning and password
management), and a central directory.
