Which type of research is best suited for using nurmetrics?
 
  1. The compilation of unified medical language systems into a universal language
  2. The collapsing of databases into one large data set for research purposes
  3. The generation and testing of new models of health care delivery using computers
  4. The collection of data to create a uniform data set for nursing care and outcomes

Question 2

Which of the following describes home care information systems?
 
  1. Supports the way that users function, and allows flexibility and improved access to information and tools
  2. Uses monitoring technology which, when integrated into information systems, provides a way to care for the target population
  3. Requires integration for the improvement of quality of care and business survival
  4. Provides assistance to organizations to better manage their resources and improve efficiency

Question 3

A nursing information system should identify variances to the anticipated outcomes as they are charted and provide aggregate variance data for analysis by the providers.
 
  This information can be used to fine tune and improve _____________________________ __, thereby contributing to improved client outcomes. Standard Text: Fill in the blank(s) with correct word

Question 4

A nursing student wishes to initiate a search for interesting research topics. The student decides to peruse client positioning during pulmonary artery catheter readings.
 
  Among the following, which are suitable for this topic? Select all that apply. 1. PsychINFO
  2. MEDLINE
  3. Google
  4. CINAHL
  5. PubMed

Question 5

____________________________ are large, computerized database management systems that support several types of activities that may include provider order entry, result retrieval, documentation, and decision support across distributed locations.
 
  Standard Text: Fill in the blank(s) with correct word

Question 6

For which type of research is knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) least appropriate?
 
  1. To cross-link risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease
  2. To identify the efficacy of a treatment for children with the rare and fatal Batten disease.
  3. To test the hypothesis that polycystic kidney disease is best treated with antihypertensive
  4. To determine the most significant risk factors for congestive heart failure

Answer to #1

3
Rationale: The option best suited for using nurmetrics is the generation and testing of new models of health care delivery using computers. Nurmetrics uses mathematical form and statistics to test, estimate, and quantify nursing theories and solutions to problems. This application is cost effective and can demonstrate how factors such as education may affect health practices and outcomes over time without the need to first implement the program and wait for results.

Answer to #2

2
Rationale: Adoption of home care information systems makes use of monitoring technology which, when integrated into information systems, provides a way to care for the target population. Your choice describes nursing information systems.

Answer to #3

critical pathways
Rationale : The system should identify variances to the anticipated outcomes as they are charted and provide aggregate variance data for analysis by the providers. This information can be used to fine tune and improve the critical pathways, thereby contributing to improved client outcomes. The critical pathway or protocol approach to nursing documentation is an approach used in automated nursing information systems and it is often use in a multidisciplinary manner, with many types of care providers accessing the system for information and to document care.
Global Rationale:

Cognitive Level: Analyzing
Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment
Client Need Sub: Management of Care
Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Communication and Documentation
Learning Outcome:

Answer to #4

1,2,4,5
Rationale: All of these except for Google are suitable to initiate a search about client positioning during pulmonary artery catheter readings. Google pulls together a variety of sources, not all of which are medical; the other databases are medically or nursing oriented.

Answer to #5

Clinical information systems
Rationale : Clinical information systems (CISs) are large, computerized database management systems that support several types of activities that may include provider order entry, result retrieval, documentation, and decision support across distributed locations.
Global Rationale:

Cognitive Level: Understanding
Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment
Client Need Sub: Management of Care
Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Communication and Documentation
Learning Outcome:

Answer to #6

2
Rationale: KDD is least appropriate for identifying the efficacy of a treatment for children with the rare and fatal Batten disease. KDD identifies complex patterns and relationships in collected data; it is a powerful tool, suitable for the analysis of large amounts of data. KDD may be used to identify risk factors for diseases or efficacy of particular treatment modalities. However, KDD is not used when insufficient data would be available, as in the case of a rare disease.
