According to Graves and Corcoran (1989), nursing knowledge is:
the sum total of the textbook learning during the initial nursing education
experience <Nursing knowledge is not tied to a textbook but is better defined by
rules and connections in this field.>
the laws and relationships that exist between the elements that describe the
phenomena of concern in nursing <While this statement is true, it does not account
for that which nurses use to make choices that improve the health of patients.>
the laws or rules that the nurse uses to combine the facts to make clinical nursing
decisions <While this statement is true, it does not account for that which drives the
care nurses exhibit for patients.>
both b and c <Both of these statements reflect the position of Graves and
Corcoran.>
Answer: D
Standardization of nursing terminology is most critical for:
synthesizing findings from clinical cases and generating new knowledge <A
standardized nursing terminology is a nursing terminology that is in some way
approved by an appropriate authority. Its establishment and use are most critical for
synthesizing findings from clinical cases and generating new knowledge.>
developing new approaches for patient assessment <While having a standardized
, nursing terminology can pave the way for new approaches, the most critical
development must occur prior to this action.>
improving disease diagnosis and treatment <While having a standardized nursing
terminology can pave the way for improving disease diagnosis and treatment, the
most critical development must occur prior to this action.>
developing new medical monitoring devices <While having a standardized nursing
terminology can pave the way for developing new medical monitoring devices, the
most critical development must occur prior to this action.>
Answer: A
Which of the following are typically found in a Clinical Decision Support (CDS) system?
computerized alerts and reminders (e.g., medication due, patient has an allergy,
potassium level abnormal); <These are some of the available CDS tools for nursing
practice.>
clinical guidelines (e.g., best practice for prevention of skin breakdown); <These
are some of the available CDS tools for nursing practice.>
clinical order sets and protocols; <These are some of the available CDS tools for
nursing practice.>
All of the above. <All of the options are available CDS tools for nursing practice.>
Answer: D
Nurses in identified informatics roles typically focus their efforts on:
articulating meaningful clinical nursing data and information structures that can be
, codified and processed <While this is true, it does not account for all areas of focus
for these roles.>
identifying the information processes associated with nurses’ work <While this is
true, it does not account for all areas of focus for these roles.>
determining ways in which information and communication technologies can be
most effectively utilized to support the capture, retrieval, and use of data,
information, and knowledge <While this is true, it does not account for all areas of
focus for these roles.>
All of the above. <All of the above statements make up the focus of nurses in
identified informatics roles.>
Answer: D
Technology tools that support quality practice in information intensive, complex
healthcare environments also promote:
knowledge based practice <There are many benefits to be derived from the creation
of a culture of knowledge-based nursing practice that is enabled and advanced
through the use of information and communication technologies.>
nursing leadership <Technology tools can support nurses at all levels of the
organization or institution; however, technology tools promote this information
intensive environment in another way.>
health literacy <Technology tools can support health literacy; however, technology
tools promote this information intensive environment in a more generalized way.>
professional ethics challenges <Technology tools can be used to promote ethics;
