Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Florence Nightingale had tried to develop the role of researcher by using evidence from her practice and implementing these findings. Evidence-based practice (EBP) includes conducting quality studies, synthesizing the study findings into the best research evidence available, and using that research evidence effectively in practice. Although gathering scientific data, calculating statistics to report findings, and communicating findings to powerful others are all important components of conducting research, Nightingales action that most appropriately reflects the current nursing research priority is that she based her nursing practice on her findings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Cognitive science is one of the theories that play a role in the implementation of informatics. Its development is not a purpose, and the nurse educator would use this incorrect response of the orientee to plan additional teaching about the purposes of health care informatics. Purposes of information health technology include to improve health provider work flow, improve health care quality, prevent medical errors, reduce health care costs, increase administrative efficiencies, decrease paperwork, and improve disease tracking.
