Question 1 of 5
A nurse is part of a committee that is working to develop and implement an electronic documentation system. Which step would the committee do first during the initiating phase?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Completing a needs assessment is the first step to determine the specific requirements and challenges within the organization, guiding the system's development. Identifying the project goal is typically clarified after the needs assessment. Risk assessment occurs later in the planning phase. Managing scope creep is a concern during project execution, not initiation.
Question 2 of 5
Which theory contributing to informatics addresses improving the interaction between an information system and the organizational culture?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sociotechnical theory focuses on the interaction between technology, people, and organizational structures to optimize system performance and user satisfaction. Nursing informatics integrates nursing and technology but does not specifically address organizational culture. Cognitive science and change theory focus on other aspects.

Question 5 of 5
A 2-year-old is being treated for a pneumonia. The health care provider orders 15mg/kg of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid to be administered every 12 hours. The child weighs 25 pounds. The elixir comes in a strength of 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid should the nurse administer to this child per dose? mL (Round to the nearest tenth)
Correct Answer: 3.4 mL/dose
Rationale: Calculation: 25 lbs = 11.34 kg, 15 mg/kg * 11.34 kg = 170.1 mg/dose, 170.1 mg / (250 mg/5 mL) = 3.4 mL/dose.
