MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Information that could be conceived as data that has been further
contextualized to possess meaning, “data plus meaning”, is:
a. data.
b. information.
c. knowledge.
d. wisdom.
ANS: B
Information is described by Matney et al. (2011) as ―data plus
meaning‖. Therefore, information could be conceived as data that has
been further contextualized to possess meaning. For instance, the
number 110 and 70 are both meaningless data. If the numbers of 110
and 70 are placed within the context and alignment of representing a
blood pressure reading measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg),
then the 110 and 70 can become evolved into information. W.

2. “Information that has been synthesized so that relationships are identified
and formalized ” is referred to as:

c. knowledge.
d. wisdom.

3. Actualized knowledge that uses insight to ―manage and solve human
problems‖ is:

c. knowledge.
d. wisdom.
ANS: D
While knowledge is one of the higher levels of insight that a
practitioner can possess, the extension to wisdom takes actualized
knowledge and uses this insight to ―manage and solve human
problems‖. Therefore, knowing a blood pressure of 110/70mm Hg was
within a normal range would allow a clinician to execute wisdom traits
and actions to man-age the care of a patient —including continuing
