Leaders in nursing must advocate for information and knowledge systems that support nursing practice. This is best accomplished by:
 
  a. Participating in organizational information technology committees.
  b. Submitting written requests for needed information systems.
  c. Requesting budgetary funds needed for systems.
  d. Sending staff nurses to conferences that discuss cutting-edge technologies.

Question 2

A home health nurse has been assigned to cover a 300-square-mile area of remote Montana. Mrs. Baker has just been discharged home following bowel surgery and has a new colostomy.
 
  She will need daily contacts for at least two weeks and then regular weekly contact following that week. Because it is not possible to visit Mrs. Baker in person every day and see all of the other clients, the nurse gives her a laptop computer with net meeting software installed. Each morning, both dial in at an agreed-upon time and discuss her progress. The home health nurse assesses whether or not the client needs to be seen that day and is able to view the colostomy site. This type of technology is called:
 
  a. Distance learning.
  b. Knowledge software.
  c. Telecommunications.
  d. Biomedical technology.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Nurse leaders and direct care nurses must be members of the selection team, participate actively, and have a voice in the selection decision. The information system must make sense to the people who use it and fit effectively with the processes for providing patient care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Telecommunications and systems technology facilitate clinical oversight of health care via telephone or cable lines, remote monitoring, information links, and the Internet. Patients sitting in front of the teleconferencing camera can be diagnosed, treated, monitored, and educated by nurses and physicians. EKGs and radiographs can be viewed and transmitted.
