Question 9. To achieve the goals of the HIMSS Nursing Informatics Position Statement, all nurses should:

draft health IT policy.
run for political office.
participate in advocacy and educational efforts directed to policymakers.
develop innovative technologies.

Question 10. A unit has been experiencing a high rate of patient falls for the past three months. According to Donabedian's model, patient falls would be considered:

structure.
process.
outcome.
effectiveness.

structure.
process.
outcome.
effectiveness.

Question 13. Why is the PSQRD a useful framework for research and practice?

It explains why using computer applications is the best way to support better patient outcomes.
It supports implementation, performance improvement, and rigorous research methodologies.
It ensures successful implementation of a clinical process change.

SNOMED
Logical Observations Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC)
Omaha System
NANDA

Question 15. Task analysis is a collection of many different techniques. You can use task analysis to: (Select all that apply.)

conduct the think aloud protocol.

observe workflow in a cardiology clinic.
determine crucial errors with CPOE.

Question 16. Which example constitutes an internal security event?

Servers containing clinical data were stolen from a facility.
A person hacks into a facility's server and steals PHI electronically.
A person installs a malicious code past a facilities firewall.
A system administrator installed a new server without any security measures.

Question 17. Why is it difficult to establish effective health IT governance?

Fundamentally, effective governance means that some stakeholders' informatics needs will need to be de-prioritized.
here is too much literature available on the topic, making it difficult to choose which approach to follow.
So few activities within a healthcare organization involve informatics.
No stakeholder wants to have a say in how informatics resources are leveraged.

Question 18. Well-defined policies are necessary to ensure that: (Select all that apply.)

confidentiality of protected health information is safeguarded.
accurate cost accounting occurs.
data capture is being automated.
clinical decision support is adopted.

Question 19. An important component of the informatics infrastructure is:

establishment and adoption of standards to support semantic interoperability.
defined standard value sets, groupings, aligners, and attributes.
organizations enabled to set individual standards for quality measurement and reporting.
variation in the types of data used to populate the quality metrics.

Question 20. The Center to Champion Nursing in America envisions a healthcare system where:

best practices need to be developed.
quality care is increasing in targeted areas.
nurses are expanding their capabilities.
all Americans have access to high-quality care.

Question 21. Which of these best describes an example of usability?

The IT department is surveying your unit to determine the placement of new computer workstations.
A researcher is conducting a study of how nurses interact with electronic documentation to organize care handoffs.
The leadership in your institution is asking for your help to determine oncology patient flow across regional institutions.
The administration has asked you to take responsibility for orientation of new hires and the retraining of selected current employees on use of the automated medication administration system because there have been a consistent number of user errors.

Question 22. You are part of a knowledge management team that is interested in improving the user experience for your organization.

The team members know you have taken a course in informatics and ask your advice about how to get started with usability in the organization. You recommend:
talking to the CEO about her ideas.
examining the support call lists and system change requests.
