gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
statement?
gt
1. Research priorities for nursing informatics include the development of a standard nursing gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
languageand the development of databases for clinical information.
gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
2. A formal educational program at the master's levelmust be completed before a nurse is

Rationale 1: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice. Although gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing is typicallyat the
gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. Current demands for safer,cost-effective,
gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
qualitycare require evidence of the best practices supported byresearch.
gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
Rationale 2: Such a formal educational program does not necessarily mean a specialty area of gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing
gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
is typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. The development of research
gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
priorities is a keypoint in a specialtypractice.
gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
Rationale 3: Your chosen response refers to the entire discipline of nursing. The specialty of nursinggt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and
gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom into nursing practice. Thedevelopment of
gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
research priorities is a keypoint in a specialtypractice.
gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
Rationale 4: There are many work groups in the United States related to informatics that focus on the gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
specialtyof informatics practice. One example is the Nursing Informatics Special InterestGroup of
gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
the International Medical Informatics Association. The development of research priorities is a key
gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt gt
point in a specialtypractice.
