Answer to Question 1

2,4,5
Rationale: The certified informatics nurse (IN) has experience or interest in the area but no formal informatics preparation. This person has earned the credential RN-BC (Registered Nurse, Board Certified). Therefore, advanced graduate education in nursing informatics (or related field) is not required. The informatics nurse specialist (INS) has this education and may also hold ANCC certification. Both the IN and INS may work under a variety of different titles and in various settings.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The Joint Commission standards and goals shape organization practice and documentation, thereby affecting information system documentation design (Ridge, 2006). When accreditation standards change, documentation must reflect additional requirements.
