Nursing Informatics NR599
General Principles of Nursing Informatics - answer Integrates nursing sciences w/info
from analytical sciences so that you can identify, define, manage, and communicate
data, info, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice
Who does nursing informatics support? - answer nurses
consumers
patients
interprofessional healthcare team and all other stakeholders
What is nursing informatics used for? - answerIn all roles and settings to achieve
desired outcomes
How is nursing informatics support accomplished? - answerThrough the use of
information structures, processes, and technology
Knowledge - answerAn awareness and understanding of information and ways that
information can be made useful to support a task or make a decision
When is knowledge building achieved? - answerconstantly, while a person is conscious
and while doing daily activities
Wisdom - answerApplied knowledge in a practical way or translated into actions
What is wisdom also referred to as? - answerThe highest form of common sense
What is knowledge used for? - answerto heighten common sense and insight so as to
exercise sound judgement in practical matters
How is wisdom accomplished? - answerfrom accumulated knowledge or erudition
(deep, thorough learning) or enlightenment (education that results in understating and
the dissemination of knowledge
erudition? - answerdeep, extensive learning
enlightenment? - answereducation that results in understanding and the dissemination
of knowledge
dissemination? - answerthe act of spreading widely; scattering
, What is wisdom? - answerthe ability to apply valuable and viable knowledge,
experience, understanding, and insight while being prudent and sensible
