Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The more involved federal agencies become in health care, the more informatics will play a vital role, as will the nurses who utilize it as the liaison between physician and patient and physician and agency. EHRs and HITECH will soon become a part of the everyday medical care system of documentation, treatment, and practice decision making. Informatics nurses will play a key role in all aspects of regulatory and reimbursement issues (Murphy, 2010).
