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

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

Question 2 f
Type: MCSA
f f
Which statement by the nurse verifies that the nurse is "information literate"?
f f f f f f f f f f f
1. "I understand how to search for a website and evaluate its usefulness for health care needs."
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
2. "I utilize databases in the health care setting to input client information such as skin
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
condition."

3. "I use email over the Internet to correspond with clients and provide information."
f f f f f f f f f f f f
4. "I can use software applications such as word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations."
f f f f f f f f f f f
Correct Answer: 1 f f
Rationale 1: Information literacy necessitates that nurses have the ability to find, evaluate, and
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
effectively use information. The other answers are examples of computer literacy but do not have
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
the higher functions of information literacy.

Rationale 2: Your chosen response is an example of computer literacy, but it does not have the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
higher functions of information literacy. Information literacy necessitates that nurses have the
f f f f f f f f f f f f
ability to find, evaluate, and effectively use information.

The nurse gathers much data when caring for clients. Which is an example of the higher-level
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
"information" useful in caring for clients?
f f f f f f
1. The vital signs are BP of 130/70, HR of 88, RR of 24, temperature of 98.8 degrees F., and
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
oxygen saturation of 98%.
f f f f
2. Lab work results include an electrolyte panel and complete blood count with differential.
f f f f f f f f f f f f
3. The client is a widowed 64-year-old black male admitted with prostatitis.
f f f f f f f f f f
4. After receiving Rocephin (ceftriaxone sodium) 1.0 gram IV yesterday, the client reported
f f f f f f f f f f f
feeling better today.

Correct Answer: 4 f f
Rationale 1: Your chosen response is an example of having pieces of data without interpretation.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
"Information" necessitates that the nurse interpret and structure the results of clinical data into
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
information.

Rationale 2: Your chosen response is an example of having pieces of data without interpretation.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
"Information" necessitates that the nurse interpret and structure the results of clinical data into

Rationale 4: "Information" necessitates that the nurse interpret and structure clinical data into
f f f f f f f f f f f f
information. It can then be used to aid clinical decision making and client monitoring. All other
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
responses included pieces of data without interpretation.
