Answer to Question 1

A
If the staff needs more education, then an incorrect statement is made. Competence in informatics is not the same as computer competency. To become competent in informatics, you need to be able to use evolving methods of discovering, retrieving, and using information in practice. This means that you learn to recognize when information is needed and have the skills to find, evaluate, and use that information effectively. For example, you need to know how to acquire, critique, and apply scientific evidence from literature databases. Nursing informatics is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Peripheral cyanosis seen in the palms and soles of the feet is often a result of vasoconstriction and stagnant blood flow.
B Peripheral cyanosis seen in the nail beds is often a result of vasoconstriction and stagnant blood flow.
C Peripheral cyanosis seen in the earlobes is often a result of vasoconstriction and stagnant blood flow.
D Central cyanosis is observed in the tongue, soft palate, and conjunctiva of the eye, where blood flow is high. Central cyanosis indicates hypoxemia.
