Correct Answer: 4 v v




Rationale 1: Your chosen response is an example of having pieces of data without interpretation.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


"Information" necessitates that the nurse interpret and structure the results of clinical data into
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


information.

effectively use information. The other answers are examples of computer literacy but do not have
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


the higher functions of information literacy.
v v v v v v




Rationale 2: Your chosen response is an example of computer literacy, but it does not have the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


higher functions of information literacy. Information literacy necessitates that nurses have the

ability to find, evaluate, and effectively use information.
v v v v v v v v




Rationale 3: Your chosen response is an example of computer literacy but, it does not have the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

, Question 3 v




v Type: MCSA v




The nurse understands that nursing informatics is recognized as a specialty area of practice by
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



which statement?
v v




1. Research priorities for nursing informatics include the development of a standard nursing
v v v v v v v v v v v


language and the development of databases for clinical information.
v v v v v v v v v




2. A formal educational program at the master's level must be completed before a nurse is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


eligible to sit for the credentialing examination.
v v v v v v v




3. As a differentiated practice, nursing informatics is focused upon the client, the environment,
v v v v v v v v v v v v


health, and the nurse.
v v v v




4. There is a need for nursing informatics interests to gain representation by work groups and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


organizations within the United States.
v v v v v




Correct Answer: 1 v v




Rationale 1: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. Current demands for safer,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


cost-effective, quality care require evidence of the best practices supported by research.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




Rationale 2: Such a formal educational program does not necessarily mean a specialty area of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


credentialing is typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




Rationale 3: Your chosen response refers to the entire discipline of nursing. The specialty of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


nursing informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to
v v v v v v v v v v v


manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom into nursing practice. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v


development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




Rationale 4: There are many work groups in the United States related to informatics that focus
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


on the specialty of informatics practice. One example is the Nursing Informatics Special Interest
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


Group of the International Medical Informatics Association. The development of research
v v v v v v v v v v v


priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
