The nurse understands that nursing informatics is recognized as a specialty area of practice by
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
which statement?
k; k;
1. Research priorities for nursing informatics include the development of a standard nursing
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
language and the development of databases for clinical information.
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
2. A formal educational program at the master's level must be completed before a nurse is
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
eligible to sit for the credentialing examination.
k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
3. As a differentiated practice, nursing informatics is focused upon the client, the environment,
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
health, and the nurse.
k; k; k; k;
4. There is a need for nursing informatics interests to gain representation by work groups and
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
organizations within the United States.

Correct Answer: 1 k; k;
Rationale 1: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing is
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. Current demands for safer,
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
cost-effective, quality care require evidence of the best practices supported by research.
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
Rationale 2: Such a formal educational program does not necessarily mean a specialty area of
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
credentialing is typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. The
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
Rationale 3: Your chosen response refers to the entire discipline of nursing. The specialty of
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
nursing informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom into nursing practice. The
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
Rationale 4: There are many work groups in the United States related to informatics that focus
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
on the specialty of informatics practice. One example is the Nursing Informatics Special Interest
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
Group of the International Medical Informatics Association. The development of research
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.

Correct Answer: 1 k; k;
Rationale 1: Information literacy necessitates that nurses have the ability to find, evaluate, and
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
effectively use information. The other answers are examples of computer literacy but do not have
k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k; k;
the higher functions of information literacy.
