, Chapter 1 Nursing Science and the Foundation of Knowledge
The nurse understands that nursing informatics is recognized as a specialty area of practice by which statement?
1. Research priorities for nursing informatics include the development of a standard nursing language
and the development of databases for clinical information.
2. A formal educational program at the master's level must be completed before a nurse is eligible
to sit for the credentialing examination.
3. As a differentiated practice, nursing informatics is focused upon the client, the environment, health, and the
nurse.
4. There is a need for nursing informatics interests to gain representation by work groups and organizations
within the United States.
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice. Although degrees at the
master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing is typically at the bachelor's level and includes
experience in the field. Current demands for safer, cost-effective, quality care require evidence of the best
practices supported by research.
Rationale 2: Such a formal educational program does not necessarily mean a specialty area of practice. Although
degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing is typically at the bachelor's level
and includes experience in the field. The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
Rationale 3: Your chosen response refers to the entire discipline of nursing. The specialty of nursing informatics
integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data,
information, knowledge, and wisdom into nursing practice. The development of research priorities is a key point in
a specialty practice.
Rationale 4: There are many work groups in the United States related to informatics that focus on the specialty of
informatics practice. One example is the Nursing Informatics Special Interest Group of the International Medical
Informatics Association. The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
