ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
1. Informatics competencies are essential in a healthcare delivery system that is not only
heavily dependent upon HIT but attempting to use it as a means to transform healthcare
delivery.
2.NI has implications for all areas of nursing practice including advanced practice because it
supports all areas of nursing practice as well as healthcare consumers and other healthcare
professionals.
3. The phenomena of NI interest are the structures and processing of data, information, and
knowledge; it is not enough to use technology it needs to be used well to avoid negative
consequences - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- General principles of Nursing Informatics:
Information that is synthesized so that relationships are identified and formalized
The awareness and understanding of a set of information and ways that information can be
made useful to support a specific task or arrive at a decision; abounds with others' thoughts
and information. Information that is synthesized so that relationships are identified and
formalized. Understanding that comes through a process of interaction or experience with the
world around us. Information that has judgment applied to it or meaning extracted from it.
Processed information that helps to clarify or explain some portion of our environment or
world that we can use as a basis for action or upon which we can act. Internal process of
thinking or cognition. External process of testing, senses, observation, and interacting. -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Knowledge
What is the ability to apply appropriate use of knowledge to manage and solve human
problems? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Wisdom
Knowledge applied in a practical way or translated into actions; the use of knowledge and
experience to heighten common sense and insight so as to exercise sound judgment in
practical matters. Sometimes thought of as the highest form of common sense, resulting from
accumulated knowledge or erudition (deep, thorough learning) or enlightenment (education
that results in understanding and the dissemination of knowledge). Wisdom is the ability to
apply valuable and viable knowledge, experience, understanding, and insight while being
, prudent and sensible. It is focused on our own minds; it is the synthesis of our experience,
insight, understanding, and knowledge. Wisdom is the appropriate use of knowledge to solve
human problems. It is knowing when and how to apply knowledge.

nursing practice. These scientific underpinnings include sciences such as biology, physiology,
psychology, ethics, and nursing. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Scientific Underpinning
The basis for which knowledge is used to meet the needs of the healthcare delivery system
It is derived from its 3 key elements of knowledge acquisition, knowledge generation,
knowledge processing, and knowledge dissemination
Model proposing that humans are organic information systems constantly acquiring,
processing, generating, and disseminating information or knowledge in both their
professional and personal lives - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- The Foundation of Knowledge
Model
theory underpinning information and computation and their implementation in computer
systems - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Computer science
how the human mind works from an information processing perspective.
Branch of engineering (application of science) that studies the theoretical foundations of
information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems.
The study of storage/memory, conversion and transformation, and transfer or transmission of
information in machines— that is, computers—through both algorithms and practical
implementation problems. Algorithms are detailed, unambiguous action sequences in the
design, efficiency, and application of computer systems, whereas practical implementation
problems deal with the software and hardware. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Cognitive
Science
the retrieval and management of information as well as human-computer interaction.
The science of information, studying the application and usage of information and knowledge
in organizations and the interfacings or interaction between people, organizations, and
