Verified Questions and Answers
Knowledge ......ANSWER........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.
Wisdom ......ANSWER........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). This 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. This is the appropriate use of knowledge to solve
human problems. It is knowing when and how to apply
knowledge.

What are the differences between wisdom and knowledge:
......ANSWER........Knowledge abounds with others' thoughts and
information, whereas wisdom is focused on one's own mind and
the synthesis of experience, insight, understanding, and
knowledge.
What is the foundation of the art of nursing?
......ANSWER........Wisdom
Cognitive Science ......ANSWER........Interdisciplinary field that
studies the mind, intelligent, and behavior from an information
processing perspective.
Computer Science ......ANSWER........Branch of engineering
(application of science) that studies the theoretical foundations of
information and computation and their implantation 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.
Cognitive Science ......ANSWER........This science is the study of the
mind and how information is processed in the mind.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) ......ANSWER........The field that deals
with the conception, development, and implementation of
informations tools based on intelligent technologies. This filed

attempts to capture the complex processes of human thought and
intelligence.
Experts in cognitive science model human thinking using artificial
networks provided by computers refer to this as

Information Science ......ANSWER........The science of information,
studying the application and usage of information and
knowledge in organizations and the interfacings or interaction
between people, organizations, and information systems. An
extensive, interdisciplinary science that integrates features from
cognitive science, communication science, computer science,
library science, and social sciences.
Information Science ......ANSWER........The application and usage
of knowledge-- focus on why and how technology can be put to
best use to serve the information flow within an organization.
Healthcare organizations are affected by and rely on the
evolution of this science to enhance the recording and processing
of routine and intimate information while facilitating human-to-
human and human-to-systems communications, delivery of
healthcare products, dissemination of information, and
enhancement of the organization's business transactions.
Information Science: ......ANSWER........This science is a
multidisciplinary science that encompasses aspects of computer
science, cognitive science, social science, communication science,
and library science to deal with obtaining, gathering, organizing,
manipulating, managing, storing, retrieving, recapturing,
, Page 4 of 34
disposing of, distributing, and broadcasting information. It studies
everything that deals with information.
Information Literacy ......ANSWER........Recognizing when
information is needed and having the ability to locate, evaluate,
and effectively use the needed information. An intellectual
framework for finding, understanding, evaluating, and using
information.
Health Literacy ......ANSWER........The acquisition (learning or
developing of a skill, habit, or quality) of knowledge that
promotes the ability to understand and to manage one's health
Standardized terminologies (STs)
......ANSWER........________________________________ are
structured, controlled languages developed to represent
concepts in a given domain in a clear, unambiguous fashion.
There are multiple benefits associated with ST adoption and use
that include improved communication, data-reuse, and improved
processes and patient outcomes. ......ANSWER........What are the
benefits of ST:
Standard Nursing Terminology (ST)s: ......ANSWER........A body of
terms used in nursing that is in some ways approved by an
appropriate authority or by general consent.
Standard terminologies (ST) ......ANSWER........Contribute to the
development of knowledge because they ensure that all
professionals share the same understanding or meaning of a
given concept, to clarify communication, facilitate research, and
provide structure for decision support tools and EHRs. These
