A nurse is caring for a patient hospitalized with a new diagnosis of diabetes.

A year later, a nurse is caring for the same patient, who has had repeated visits to the ambulatory clinic with no apparent efforts to make the lifestyle changes needed to manage blood sugars. Which of the following is an inaccurate statement about nursing actions? 1. Contacting patients and families when they return home to provide support may reduce hospital readmissions
2. Guiding family discussions that result in making plans for lifestyle changes can support adherence and family goal setting
3. Collaborating care between hospital, home, emergency room, and clinic is the sole responsibility of the nurse in the hospital setting
4. Continually reflecting on the support needs of the family managing a chronic illness may help nurses provide quality care

What uses archetypes (clinical models of content and process) as a means of exchanging clinical documents between systems?

1. Service oriented architecture
2. HL7
3. Open EHR
4. Semantic interoperability

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale:
Collaborating care between hospital, home, emergency room, and clinic rests with all nurses, health-care professionals, and interprofessional teams, rather than being the sole responsibility of the nurse in the hospital setting.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: HL7 uses archetypes (clinical models of content and process) as a means of exchanging clinical documents between systems. Integration efforts and the development and use of integration standards, including HL7, are taking place at many levels. Although efforts are under way to develop both national and international health data networks, competition has not yet facilitated this type of information sharing.
