Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Informatics is the application of technology to all fields of nursing to facilitate and extend nurses' decision-making abilities and to support nurses in the use, storage, and linkage of clinical information to provide effective and efficient patient care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, F
Demonstrating a positive and professional attitude about being a nurse to nursing colleagues, patients and their families, other colleagues in the workplace, and the public facilitates the exercise of power among colleagues while educating others about nurses and nursing. A powerful image is an important aspect of demonstrating this positive professional attitude and includes how we identify ourselves, how we dress, whether we are punctual for commitments, and whether we speak positively about our work. Bullying and incivility are negative expressions of power that can affect patient outcomes. The Joint Commission standard demands that leaders ensure that a code of conduct is implemented to ensure patient safety and a culture of quality.
