Ynurse is eligible to sit for the credentialing examination.
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y




3. As a differentiated practice, nursing informatics is focused upon the client, the
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y

Correct Answer: 1 Y Y




Rationale 1: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


Ycredentialing is typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field.
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


Current demands for safer, cost-effective, quality care require evidence of the best
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


Y practices supported by research. Y Y Y




Rationale 2: Such a formal educational program does not necessarily mean a specialty
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


Yarea of practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


required for credentialing is typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


in the field.
Y Y Y


The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y




Rationale 3: Your chosen response refers to the entire discipline of nursing. The specialty
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


of nursing informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, and information
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom into
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


nursing practice. The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


practice.
Y




Rationale 4: There are many work groups in the United States related to informatics that
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


Yfocus on the specialty of informatics practice. One example is the Nursing Informatics
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


YSpecial Interest Group of the International Medical Informatics Association. The
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y


Ydevelopment of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
