Correct Answer: 1 t t
Rationale 1: The development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for credentialing is
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
ttypically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. Current demands for safer,
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
tcost-effective, quality care require evidence of the best practices supported by research. t t t t t t t t t t t
Rationale 2: Such a formal educational program does not necessarily mean a specialty area of
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
practice. Although degrees at the master's level are available, the degree required for
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
tcredentialing is typically at the bachelor's level and includes experience in the field. The

tdevelopment of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice. t t t t t t t t t t t
Rationale 3: Your chosen response refers to the entire discipline of nursing. The specialty of
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
tnursing informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to

manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom into nursing practice. The
t t t t t t t t t t t t
development of research priorities is a key point in a specialty practice.
t t t t t t t t t t t t
Rationale 4: There are many work groups in the United States related to informatics
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
tthat focus on the specialty of informatics practice. One example is the Nursing Informatics
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Special Interest Group of the International Medical Informatics Association. The development
