Nurses do need familiarity with spreadsheets and statistics
software and analysis for use in quality improvement
activities, the creation and monitoring of budgets, and to
better understand research findings. Development of a
, standard language for use within nursing would allow
nurses, from different regions of a country or the world, to
establish that they were describing the same phenomenon
as well as conduct studies that could be replicated.

During the request for proposal phase of the information system
planning process, which of the following would enhance the decision

importance. For example, essential features may be given a
weighting factor of 5, and desirable but not essential
features may be given a weighting factor of 3. Weighting of
each desirable system feature should be completed before
the various systems are scored. Using a tool enhances the
decision making process and talking time to reflect on
decisions will be minimized.

Which of the following devices are increasingly being deployed to
facilitate learning?
Answer
Selected
Answer:
Classroom response systems (CRS)
Correct
Answer:
Classroom response systems (CRS)
Answer Rationale: Classroom response systems (CRS) are
Feedbac
, k: increasingly being deployed to facilitate learning via the use
of handheld transmitters. This hardware and software
makes use of a "clicker" that beams information showing
the response to specific, real time questions projected
overhead to a group of students to a receiver on the
instructor's computer which transforms the data into a chart
detailing the responses. Some CRS systems work via other
mobile devices such as student cell phones, PDAs, or
laptops (Turning Technologies, 2010).

engage in any of the electronic transactions covered under
HIPAA.
Answer Rationale: Researchers are not covered entities unless
Feedbac

transactions covered under HIPAA. Covered entities actually
may disclose PHI to researchers to aid in study recruitment.
