Technology Pack (2025/2026)
Comprehensive Study Assessment
Student ID: _________________ Date: _________________
Instructor: [Instructor Name] Course Mentor: [Mentor Name]
Time Limit: 60 minutes Total Points: 100 points
Assessment Overview
This ATI Nursing Informatics Test assesses proficiency in nursing informatics and technology, aligned
with the ATI Nursing Informatics and Technology 2025/2026 module objectives and ANA Standards of
Nursing Informatics (3rd ed., 2022). The test comprises 80 multiple-choice and illustration-based
questions, equally distributed across four domains: Nursing Informatics and Data Management (20
questions), Use of EHR Systems, HIPAA, and Data Security (20 questions), Technology in Clinical
Decision-Making (20 questions), and Patient Education and Telehealth Integration (20 questions). Each
question includes five answer options (A-E), with the correct answer highlighted in blue. Detailed
rationales reference ATI module objectives and ANA standards, emphasizing evidence-based practice and
patient safety.
Instructions:
● Select the best answer (A-E) for each question.
● Illustration-based questions provide a textual description of visuals (e.g., EHR screenshots, data
flow diagrams).
● Each question is worth 1.25 points (80 × 1.25 = 100 points).
● Submit via the ATI platform by the assigned deadline.
Section 1: Nursing Informatics and Data Management (Questions 1-20)
1. What is the primary goal of nursing informatics per ANA Standards?
A. Automate all nursing tasks
B. Improve information management for patient care
, C. Replace clinical judgment with technology
D. Reduce documentation time only
E. Standardize hospital billing
Rationale: ATI Module Objective 1.1: Define nursing informatics. ANA Standard 1
(Assessment) emphasizes managing data, information, knowledge, and wisdom to enhance care
delivery and outcomes.
2. Which technique is used when a nurse analyzes EHR data to identify infection trends?
A. Data entry
B. Data mining
C. Data visualization
D. Data encryption
E. Data auditing
Rationale: ATI Module Objective 1.3: Apply data management techniques. ANA Standard 4
(Planning) supports data mining to identify patterns for evidence-based interventions.
3. Which ANA standard requires standardized terminologies like SNOMED CT?
A. Standard 2: Diagnosis
B. Standard 5: Implementation
C. Standard 7: Outcomes Identification
D. Standard 10: Quality of Practice
E. Standard 13: Collaboration
Rationale: ATI Module Objective 1.2: Use standardized languages. ANA Standard 7 ensures
measurable outcomes through consistent terminology, enhancing interoperability.
4. Illustration: [Diagram of DIKW model: Data → Information → Knowledge → Wisdom].
What does this model represent?
A. Hardware setup for EHRs
B. Transformation of raw data into clinical wisdom
C. Software installation steps
D. Network security protocols
E. Billing workflow
Rationale: ATI Module Objective 1.4: Explain DIKW continuum. ANA Standard 1 uses DIKW
to structure data for clinical decision-making.
5. Which action supports scholarly knowledge creation in informatics?
A. Providing visitor Wi-Fi
B. Using EHR analytics for outcome research
C. Manual chart reviews
D. Verbal handoffs
, E. Static posters
Rationale: ATI Module Objective 1.5: Support research. ANA Standard 9 (Research) promotes
technology for evidence generation.
6. What are the foundational sciences of nursing informatics?
A. Biology, chemistry, physics
B. Nursing, information, analytical sciences
C. Sociology, psychology, ethics
D. Mathematics, statistics, coding
E. Engineering, robotics, AI
Rationale: ATI Module Objective 1.1: Define core components. ANA Standard 1 integrates
these sciences for effective informatics practice.
7. How should a newly licensed nurse use informatics for unfamiliar procedures?
A. Rely on paper manuals
B. Access evidence-based protocols via EHR
C. Ask colleagues only
D. Avoid technology use
E. Use unverified websites
Rationale: ATI Module Objective 1.6: Apply tech for competency. ANA Standard 12
(Education) supports technology for skill development.
8. Which tool standardizes daily patient care documentation?
A. Narrative notes
B. Critical pathway
C. Verbal reports
D. Ad hoc checklists
E. Whiteboards
Rationale: ATI Module Objective 1.2: Use standardized tools. ANA Standard 5 ensures
consistent documentation for care coordination.
9. What is a key risk of EHR systems?
A. Enhanced communication
B. Data loss due to system failures
C. Reduced documentation time
D. Improved patient access
E. Simplified audits
Rationale: ATI Module Objective 1.7: Identify risks. ANA Standard 10 addresses system
