Several nurses are discussing how computers work to assist nurses with storing client information. One of the nurses asked a designated superuser nurse about how items are stored in the computer.
 
  Which of the following is the superuser nurse's best response?
  1. Random-access memory is how the computer stores specific programs.
  2. The operating system allows us to save and print documents.
  3. Read-only memory is how we store specific client documents.
  4. The motherboard controls the hard drive and disk drives.

Question 2

The nurses are discussing nursing informatics and how it affects their ability to perform their jobs. Which of the following statements indicates the need for further education?
 
  1. I think it's great that we're all on the same page because with nursing informatics, everyone is using the same language.
  2. It helped when we wanted to implement the new ventilator-associated pneumonia-prevention guidelines because we had real client outcome data to support using the new interventions.
  3. The nurse manager was quickly able to determine that the average length of stay has decreased to 3.2 days from 3.7 days.
  4. We haven't been trained yet on the new documentation system, but we should go ahead and use it anyway.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2

Rationale: Random-access memory (RAM) is the primary working memory of the computer. RAM is a temporary form of memory. Read-only memory (ROM) is a permanent form of memory, and is used to store programs that are used when the computer has been started. The operating system is a type of systems software. This is used to save files and communicate with other devices that work with the computer. The motherboard is known as the system board. It provides connections between the system components of the computer.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

Rationale: There are several important benefits to using nursing informatics. It allows nurses to organize data quickly and communicate information easily because nursing informatics requires that nurses use the same standardized language. When nurses use the same language and standards, it allows researchers to identify how client outcomes are affected by nursing interventions. It allows client information to be gathered and examined. However, a challenge of nursing informatics relates to people without adequate training being able to use the system. Health care organizations must provide information about how to use the new system, process, or product. Adequate education regarding the new system is imperative to allow for data entry and data-gathering activities. Superusers are nurses who have identified by the health care organization as nurses who have completed training related to using a new system and can proficiently help others. They are internal front-line specialists.
