, Question 3 v
v Type: MCSA v
The nurse understands that nursing informatics is recognized as a specialty area of practice by
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
which statement?
v v
1. Research priorities for nursing informatics include the development of a standard nursing
v v v v v v v v v v v
language and the development of databases for clinical information.
v v v v v v v v v
2. A formal educational program at the master's level must be completed before a nurse is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
eligible to sit for the credentialing examination.
v v v v v v v
3. As a differentiated practice, nursing informatics is focused upon the client, the environment,
v v v v v v v v v v v v
health, and the nurse.
v v v v
4. There is a need for nursing informatics interests to gain representation by work groups and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
organizations within the United States.
v v v v v
Correct Answer: 1 v v
Rationale 1: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. Current demands for safer,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
cost-effective, quality care require evidence of the best practices supported by research.
v v v v v v v v v v v v
Rationale 2: Such a formal educational program does not necessarily mean a specialty area of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
credentialing is typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
v v v v v v v v v v v v
Rationale 3: Your chosen response refers to the entire discipline of nursing. The specialty of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
nursing informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to
v v v v v v v v v v v
manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom into nursing practice. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v
development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
v v v v v v v v v v v v
Rationale 4: There are many work groups in the United States related to informatics that focus
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
on the specialty of informatics practice. One example is the Nursing Informatics Special Interest
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Group of the International Medical Informatics Association. The development of research
