WGU C790 – Questions With Expert Solutions
Nursing Informatics Correct Answer - specialty that integrates
nursing science with multiple informational and analytical sciences
to identify, define, and communicate data, information, knowledge
and wisdom in practice.
Conceptual Framework for the Study of Nursing Knowledge (DIKW
metaparadigm) Correct Answer - Data-->Information--
>Knowledge-->Wisdom
Data Correct Answer - discrete entities that are described
objectively without interpretation
Information Correct Answer - data that has been interpreted,
organized, structured
Knowledge Correct Answer - information that is synthesized
to identify and formalize relationships
Informatics nurse Correct Answer - registered nurse with
interest in or experience with informatics
Informatics nurse specialist Correct Answer - graduate level
prepared nurse who organizes and implements projects
Nursing Focus Correct Answer - *1 Nurses, patients, health
environment
*2 Content of information, support for EBP
*3 Using information application and technology
Nursing Informatics Focus Correct Answer - *1 Information
user, information recipients, exchange of data, information,
knowledge, and wisdom
,*2 Design, structure, interpretation, and representation of data,
information, knowledge, and wisdom
*3 Design, develop, implement, and evaluate applications and
technologies, ensuring their safety, quality, effectiveness, efficiency,
and usability
Tenets of Nursing Informatics Correct Answer - *Has a unique
body of knowledge, preparation, and experience that aligns with the
nursing profession. NI incorporates informatics concepts in specific
application to the role of nursing and nurses in the healthcare
continuum.
*Involves the synthesis of data and information into knowledge and
wisdom.
*Supports the decision-making of healthcare consumers, nurses, and
other professionals in all roles and settings to achieve healthcare
consumer safety and advocacy.
*Supports data analytics, including quality-of-care measures, to
improve population health outcomes and global health. The IN and
INS understand that the real-time application of accurate
information by nurses and other clinicians is a mechanism to change
healthcare delivery and affect patient outcomes.
*Promotes data integrity and the access and exchange of health data
for all consumers of health information.
*Supports national and international agendas on interoperability
and the efficient and effective transfer and delivery of data,
information, and knowledge.
*Ensures that collaboration is an integral characteristic of practice.
*Interleaves user experience and computer-human interaction
concepts throughout practice.
*Incorporates key ethical concerns of NI such as advocacy, privacy,
and assurance of the confidentiality and security of data and
information.
*Considers the impact of technological changes on patient safety,
healthcare delivery, quality reporting, and the nursing process.
, *Leads in the design and promotion of useful, innovative
information technologies that advance practice and achieve desired
outcomes.
Nursing Informatics Assessment Correct Answer - Standard 1:
The informatics nurse collects comprehensive data, information,
and emerging evidence pertinent to the situation
Nursing Informatics Assessment Competencies Correct Answer -
■Uses evidence-based assessment techniques, instruments, tools,
and effective communication strategies in collecting pertinent data
to define the issue or problem.
■Uses workflow analyses to examine current practice, workflow,
and the potential impact of an informatics solution on that
workflow.
■Conducts a needs analysis to refine the issue or problem when
necessary.
■Involves the healthcare consumer, family, interprofessional team,
and key stakeholders, as appropriate, in relevant data collection.
■Prioritizes data collection activities.
■Uses analytical models, algorithms, and tools that facilitate
assessment. One example of an assessment algorithm is PIECES:
■Performance—throughput or response time
■Information—outputs, inputs, and/or stored data
■Economics—costs versus profits
■Control—too little security or control or too much control or
security
■Efficiency—people, machines, or computers waste time, and
■Service—inaccurate, inconsistent, unreliable, hard to learn,
difficult to use, inflexible, incompatible, not coordinated with other
systems
■Synthesizes available data, information, evidence, and knowledge
relevant to the situation to identify patterns and variances.
