Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Any effort that involves the implementation of a system for nurses or that will be used by nurses should include an informatics nurse specialist or informatics nurse as these individuals are uniquely qualified to communicate the needs of clinical staff to information services personnel and have a working knowledge of regulatory and system requirements, strategic plans, and budgetary constraints.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The correct answer is the simultaneous notification of orders is a benefit of computerized order entry. Departments receive notification of new orders more quickly than in a paper-based system. Other benefits include direct entry of orders by the provider (e.g., physician, nurse practitioner, physical therapist) that eliminates issues related to illegible handwriting and transcription errors, checking orders for accuracy and completeness, and speeding the implementation of ordered diagnostic tests and treatment modalities. Computerized order entry also enhances staff productivity, saves money, promotes safety, and improves outcomes when used in conjunction with evidence-based practices.
