questions and answers 2024\2025 A+
Grade
What are the general principles of nursing informatics?
- correct answer -Integrates nursing science with multiple information and analytical sciences to identify,
manage, define, and communicate data, information, knowledge, wisdom, and nursing practice
-NI supports nurses, consumers, patients, the interprofessional team, and all other stakeholders in their
decision making in all roles and settings to achieve desired outcomes
Knowledge
- correct answer The awareness and understanding of a set of information and ways that information
can be made useful to support a specific task or arrive at a decision
Wisdom
- correct answer -Knowledge applied in a practical way
-The highest form of common sense
-Entails knowing when and how to apply knowledge
Scientific Underpinning
- correct answer -The foundation of nursing science through research data, evidence, and idea creation
-The scientific underpinnings of practice provide the basis of knowledge for advanced nursing practice.
These scientific underpinnings include sciences such as biology, physiology, psychology, ethics, and
nursing.
The Foundation of Knowledge Model
- correct answer A model proposing that humans are organic information systems constantly acquiring,
, processing, generating, and disseminating information or knowledge in both their professional and
personal lives
Computer Science
- correct answer -Studies the theory, underpinning information, and computation and their
implementation and computer systems
-Computers enable nurses to quickly access important information about your health or illness and your
treatment plan from your electronic health record. Nurses can access information such as your
laboratory test and x-ray results and health reports from other health-care team members to give you
the best care possible.
Cognitive Science
- correct answer -How the human mind works from an information processing perspective
-Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary, scientific study of the mind and its processes. It examines the
nature, the tasks, and the functions of cognition (in a broad sense). Cognitive scientists study
intelligence and behavior, with a focus on how nervous systems represent, process, and transform
information.
Information Science
- correct answer -The retrieval and management of information, as well as human computer interaction
-Information science is an academic field which is primarily concerned with analysis, collection,
classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval, movement, dissemination, and protection of information.
Standard Terminology
- correct answer Structured, controlled languages developed to represent concepts in a given domain in
a clear fashion that conveys the exact same meaning for data, information, and knowledge across
settings, regions, and even different countries
Why is standard terminology important?
- correct answer -Contribute to the development of knowledge because they ensure that all
professionals share the same understanding or meaning of a given concept;
-Key to development of EHRs
-Support the collection of data that provide more information which could increase patient outcomes
and decrease health care costs
