Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse manager is orienting new staff members to computerized charting. To understand computerized charting, staff members must understand informatics. The three core concepts in informatics are:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: data, information, and knowledge. In informatics, data represents raw facts, information is processed data, and knowledge is the application of information. Understanding these concepts is crucial for effective computerized charting.
Choice B refers to technology components, not core informatics concepts.
Choice C focuses on tasks related to informatics, not core concepts.
Choice D lists specific technologies, not core informatics concepts. Thus, A is the correct answer as it directly relates to the fundamental concepts of informatics essential for understanding computerized charting.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse manager understands that the typical first step in handling an employee with a disciplinary problem is at:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Reminder of employment standards. This is the typical first step in handling an employee with a disciplinary problem because it serves as an initial warning to clarify the expected behavior. It allows the employee to understand the standards they are expected to follow and provides an opportunity for corrective action before escalating the issue.
A: Suspension with pay is usually a more severe disciplinary action and is not typically the first step.
B: Written reprimand is usually a follow-up step after the reminder of employment standards.
C: Day off without pay is a form of disciplinary action that is more severe than a reminder of employment standards.
E, F, G: No information provided, so cannot evaluate their correctness.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: unacceptable patient care may result. Absenteeism in nursing can lead to short-staffing, increased workload on remaining staff, and compromised patient safety.
