Chapter 1 Nursing Science and the Foundation of Knowledge
The nurse understands that nursing informatics is recognized as a specialty area of
practice by which statement?
1. Research priorities for nursing informatics include the development of a
standard nursing language and the development of databases for clinical
information.
2. A formal educational program at the master's level must be completed
,before a nurse is eligible to sit for the credentialing examination.
3. As a differentiated practice, nursing informatics is focused upon the client, the
environment, health, and the nurse.
4. There is a need for nursing informatics interests to gain representation by work
groups and organizations within the United States.
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty
practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree
required for credentialing is typically at the bachelor's level and includes
experience in the field. Current demands for safer, cost-effective, quality care
require evidence of the best practices supported by research.
Rationale 2: Such a formal educational program does not necessarily mean a
specialty area of practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the
degree required for credentialing is typically at the bachelor's level and includes
experience in the field. The development of research priorities is a key point in a
specialty practice.
Rationale 3: Your chosen response refers to the entire discipline of nursing. The
specialty of nursing informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, and
information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and
wisdom into nursing practice. The development of research priorities is a key point
in a specialty practice.
Rationale 4: There are many work groups in the United States related to informatics
that focus on the specialty of informatics practice. One example is the Nursing
Informatics Special Interest Group of the International Medical Informatics
Association. The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty
practice.
Global Rationale:
Cognitive Level: Understanding
Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment
Client Need Sub: Management of Care
Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment
Learning Outcome:
Question 2
Type: MCSA
Which statement by the nurse verifies that the nurse is "information literate"?
1. "I understand how to search for a website and evaluate its usefulness for health care
needs."
, 2. "I utilize databases in the health care setting to input client information
such as skin condition."
3. "I use email over the Internet to correspond with clients and provide information."
4. "I can use software applications such as word processing, spreadsheets, and
presentations."
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Information literacy necessitates that nurses have the ability to find,
evaluate, and effectively use information. The other answers are examples of
computer literacy but do not have the higher functions of information literacy.
Rationale 2: Your chosen response is an example of computer literacy, but it does
not have the higher functions of information literacy. Information literacy
necessitates that nurses have the ability to find, evaluate, and effectively use
information.
Rationale 3: Your chosen response is an example of computer literacy but, it does
not have the higher functions of information literacy. Information literacy
necessitates that nurses have the ability to find, evaluate, and effectively use
information.
Rationale 4: This answer is an example of computer literacy but, it does not have

nurses have the ability to find, evaluate, and effectively use information.
Global Rationale:
Cognitive Level: Understanding
Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment
Client Need Sub: Management of Care
Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process:
Planning Learning Outcome:
Question 3
Type: MCSA
The nurse gathers much data when caring for clients. Which is an example of the higher-
level "information" useful in caring for clients?
1. The vital signs are BP of 130/70, HR of 88, RR of 24, temperature of 98.8
degrees F., and oxygen saturation of 98%.
2. Lab work results include an electrolyte panel and complete blood count with
differential.
