Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Making a recommendation to alter an aspect of the computer system demonstrates expertise as a content expert in system design. Basic informatics competencies for all nurses include implementing policies relevant to best practice, analyzing and interpreting information as part of planning care, and using informatics applications designed for nursing practice.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5

Foundational knowledge used in clinical reasoning includes knowing the profession, self, the case, the patient, and the person. Planning time for students to complete a self-assessment tool helps them know the self. Providing access to evidence-based guidelines helps students know the case. Providing copies of the state practice act and standards of practice helps students know the profession. Stating expectations for participation in postclinical conferences and stating office hours and due dates for work does not help develop foundational knowledge.
