Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 4, 5

Four metastructures, or overarching concepts, are used in informatics theories and sciences: (1) data, information, and knowledge; (2) sciences underpinning nursing informatics; (3) concepts and tools from information science and computer science; and (4) phenomena of nursing.
Telehealth is the use of telecommunications and computers to exchange healthcare information and to provide services to clients at another location. Ergonomics focuses on the design and implementation of the equipment related to human use.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Lewin's theory contained explanations from both psychology and the physical sciences. The Force Field Analysis Model examined two forces affecting the change process; driving forces that attempt to move action and static, or restraining forces that attempt to maintain the status quo. Power and coercion is an approach to manage planned change. Rewards are elements that a change agent may use to reach desired behaviors, these elements are not in Lewin's theory of change. People may challenge change or become discontented with having to make changes, a change agent needs the necessary skills to handle both behaviors, these behaviors are not forces, as noted by Lewin's Force Field Analysis Model.
