WGU C468 - OA INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AND
THE APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY Q&A
1. information literacy: the ability to recognize when information is
needed as well as the skills to find, evaluate, and use needed
information effectively
2. information: used to describe data that has been interpreted
3. information science: Focus on how to gather, process and transform
informa- tion into knowledge. It also incorporates features from 5
other sciences
-communication science
-computer science
-social science
-library science
-cognitive science
4. clinical practice guidelines: allow for the creation of nursing policies;
rooted in evidenced based research
5. CPOE: the name used to describe the process by which the
physician or provider enters orders electronically into the HER
6. Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID): a type of technology that is
used to identify and track supplies and medications within a
healthcare environment
7. Nursing informatics: uses information and technology to
communicate, man- age knowledge, mitigate error, and support
decision making
8. Foundation of Knowledge model: The basis for which knowledge is
used to meet the needs of the healthcare delivery system
It is derived from its 3 key elements of knowledge acquisition,
knowledge process- ing and knowledge dissemination
9. Strategic Planning: the development of a comprehensive, long-
range plan for guiding the activities and operations of an
organization
10.Project Scope: the size and details of a collaborative effort
11.Local area network (LAN) access: the type of connection
needed to access the EHR when an internet connection is lost
12.order entry systems: this type of health information system
ensures the accuracy of physician orders
13.Health information systems: A group of systems used within the
hospital to support and enhance healthcare
14.Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS): Which nursing
terminology contains a nursing diagnosis, interventions and
outcomes specific to the perioperative experience

15.HL7 (Health Level 7): Acronym used to refer a standard of
interoperability and exchange of clinical data
16.Using the EHR to document care of a patient with a fractured femur is
an example of using the EHR in which way?: Information system
17.How can using simulation technology with your patients improve
overall outcomes?: By allowing them hands on practice and immediate
feedback of the skill being learned
18.Knowledge worker - nurses in this type of role:: Are
continuous learners Use technology to support and inform
nursing practice
Generate knowledge as a product
19.Characteristics of an experience nurse:: Fully integrate
informatics through- out the course of his/her practice, not just
for basic data entry and retrieval
Know how to pull trends out of data
20.Characteristics of a beginner nurse:: Uses information
systems to manage patients
21.CPOE, Barcode Medication Administration, and Clinical Decision
Sup- port are all examples of:: Information Technologies (functions
within the informa- tion systems)
22.Clinical pathways and computer-generated care plans (examples of
clin- ical decision support) are examples of: how informatics can
affect nursing
23.A patient's height, weight, code status, and date of birth are all
examples of:: Data
24.Emerging trends in healthcare:
Error reduction A push for patient
safety
Additional regulatory requirements
25.This is the purpose or reason for an organization's existence:
The mission
