AND ANSWERS FOR A+ ACHIEVEMENT
Data (Def.)
discrete entities that are described objectively without interpretation
Information (Def. - 2)
Data converted into a meaningful and useful context through the application of
knowledge
Data that are interpreted, organized, or structured
*Knowledge (Def.)
- 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 has been synthesized so that relations and interactions are defined
and formalized
- Information that has judgment applied to it or meaning extracted from it
- Processed information that helps to clarify our environment or world that we can use
as a basis upon which we can act.
*Wisdom (Def.)
An appropriate use of knowledge to manage and solve human problems
Knowledge applied in a practical way with sound judgment
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).
Application of valuable and viable knowledge, experience, understanding, and insight
while being prudent and sensible
The synthesis of our experience, insight, understanding, and knowledge.
Nursing Informatics (Def.)
The specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple information and analytical
sciences to identify, define, manage, and communicate data, information, knowledge
and wisdom in nursing practice.
, Standardized Terminologies (Def. + Importance)
- Structured, controlled languages developed to represent concepts in a given domain in
a clear, unambiguous fashion that conveys the exact same meaning for data,
information, and knowledge across settings, regions, and even different countries.
- Key to the development of an EHR in order to represent, communicate, exchange,
reuse, and report data, information, and knowledge, including Meaningful Use criteria
Nomenclature (Def.)
A system of rules and procedures for adding names used in an art or science, such as
nursing
Classification (Def.)
Systems that capture categories, which are then used to determine costs or
outcomes but are insufficient in detail for clinical documentation purposes
Taxonomy (Def.)

fashion.
*Knowledge Worker (Def.) + Tasks (5)
Those who work with information and generate information and knowledge as a product
- Data Gatherer
- Information User
- Knowledge User
- Knowledge Builder
*Computer Science (Def. - 2)
- Branch of engineering 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 computer machines through both algorithms and practical
implementation problems.
Algorithms (Def.)
