A

Data gatherer, Information user, Knowledge user, and Knowledge builder.

44
Q

Can support the efforts of the nurse and health care team in the care of patients. Good information is essential in caring for patients. Inaccurate data leads to medical errors. Nurses rely on their own knowledge, but need access to other information in order to provide safer patient care. Nurses use data and information from multiple sources which is converted to knowledge.Nurse then acts upon this knowledge by initiating a plan of care, updating an existing one or maintaining status quo. Nurses detect patterns in data and information to create new knowledge.

A

Patricia Schwirian

83
Q

Schiwirian’s Model contains four primary elements arranged to form a pyramid. These elements are:

A

1.the “raw material;’ which is nursing related information
2.the technology, which is a computing system
3.the users, who are nurses/students within the context of their personal andprofessional systems
4.the goal or objective toward which the three preceding elements are directed.

84
Q

The placement of the goal at the apex of the pyramid is intended to

A
