52
Q

Nursing Informatics is a combination of ____________, ______________, and ______________. designed to assist in the management of and processing of nursing data, information, and knowledge to support the practice of nursing and the delivery of nursing care (Graves and Corcoran, 1989

A

computer science, information science and
nursing science

53
Q

__________ seeks to both describe and explain. It’s the most complex and it’s testable. A
theory should help you predict and examine which factors influence your outcome

54
Q

__________ describes but doesn’t explain. It’s commonly used to describe, or evenr simplify, the process of translating research into practice

55
Q

__________ describes but doesn’t explain factors believed to influence an outcome. It provides a big picture overview of various descriptive categories and how they might relate to one another. It is used to show the relations of concepts, it gives an overall picture of the possible courses of action . A model is something used to represent or explain the operation and mechanism of something else. Theories are different. They can emerge from models but they are prescriptive, not merely descriptive; therefore, they can be tested

56
Q

according to this model nursing informatics is the intersection between the discipline-specific science (nursing science) and the area of informatics. And in this model, there are 3 core components of informatics, namely

-Cognitive science
-Information science
-Computer science

A

Conceptual Model of Nursing Informatics

57
Q

Conceptual Model of Nursing Informatics is by ____________.

A

James P. Turley

58
Q

James P. Turley, presents “__________”, without it, decision-making, information
processing, and construction of tools and computer interfaces would be difficult. -These concepts can help nurses understand the decision-making and information
processing done by nurses and, subsequently, assist in the creation of appropriate tools
to support nursing processes.

A

cognitive science

59
Q

Nursing informatics is like a linear progression, from _________ into __________ and __________.

A

Data
information
knowledge

60
Q

_____________. ____________. and ______________are in sequential boxes with a one-way arrow
pointing from data to information to knowledge.

A

Data
information
knowledge

61
Q

This framework is a way to understand how information can be processed. This is the same as GRAVES AND CORCORAN’S MODEL except there is an
addition of a new element which is WISDOM.

A

Data-Information-Knowledge Model Theory

62
Q

May be defined as the appropriate use of data, information, and knowledge in
making decisions and implementing nursing actions.

63
Q

T or F : The DIKW framework explains that data lead to information,
information to knowledge, and knowledge to wisdom.

64
Q

This represents the relationships between data, information, knowledge
and wisdom. Each building block is a step toward a higher level

A

The DIKW Pyramid

65
Q

________________ proposed a model intended to stimulate and guide systematic
research in nursing informatics, a model/framework that enables identification of
significant information needs, that can foster research (somewhat similar to Maslow’s
hierarchy of needs).

A

Patricia Schwirian

66
Q

This model defines Nursing informatics as something that involves identification of information needs, resolution of the needs,
and attainment of nursing goals/objectives.

A

Schiwirian’s Model

67
Q

The 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 and professional systems
  4. the goal or objective toward which the three preceding elements are directed.
