information is needed as well as the skills to find, evaluate and use needed
information effectively
2. Information ANS >>> Term used to describe data that has been interpreted
3. Information science ANS >>> Focus on how to gather, process and transform
information into knowledge. It also incorporates features from 5 other sciences

, Allowing them hands-on practice and immediate feedback of the skill
being learned
6. Knowledge worker ANS >>> Nurses in this type of role

-use technology to support and inform nursing practice
-generate knowledge as a product
7. Expert/Experienced Nurse ANS >>> Expected to fully integrate informatics
throughout the course of his/her practice, not just for basic data entry and
retrieval. They also know how to pull trends out of data
8. Nursing informatics ANS >>> Nursing informatics as a specialty does have its

the cre- ation of nursing policies. True rooted in evidenced based research
10. Information technologies, not systems but functions within a system
ANS >>> - CPOE, bar code medication administration, and clinical decision
support are all examples of what
11. Informatics affecting Nursing Practice ANS >>> Clinical pathways and
computer gen- erated care plans are examples of how informatics can affect
nursing practice True, examples of clinical decision support
12. The foundation of knowledge model ANS >>> The basis for which knowledge
is used to meet the needs of the healthcare delivery system
It is derived from its 3 key elements of knowledge acquisition, knowledge processing
and knowledge dissemination
13. Data (not information until it has been analyzed) ANS >>> A patients height,
