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