Answer to Question 1

C
The American Nurses Association (ANA, 2001) has described nursing informatics as a discipline-specific practice within a broader perspective of health informatics. It was recognized as a specialty area for RNs in 1992.

Answer to Question 2

D
The Leapfrog Group is a voluntary program that targets the role and importance of transparency and easy access to health care information of health care facilities and organizations to the public. The Leapfrog group also provides rewards for hospitals (not all health care facilities) with a proven record of high quality care (not just access to care and services).
