Question 3 of 5
A professional nurse is searching for information on confidentiality in nursing in a database. The nurse enters two key words (confidentiality, nursing) into the search interface of the database. The nurse retrieves too many records and does not have much time to review all the records. Which of the following Boolean Operators would be appropriate for the nurse to use with the key words to narrow the search?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The 'AND' operator narrows the search by retrieving only records that contain both keywords, 'confidentiality' and 'nursing,' thus reducing the number of results. 'Maybe' is not a valid Boolean operator. 'NOT' excludes records containing a specific term, which could unintentionally exclude relevant records. 'OR' broadens the search by retrieving records that contain either keyword, leading to more results.
Question 4 of 5
When describing privacy and security associated with personal health information, which issue would the nursing informatics specialist identify as most important for their maintenance?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ensuring that personal health information is accessed only by authorized individuals is crucial to maintaining privacy and security. Consumerism, policies, and standards are related but secondary to confidentiality.
Question 5 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.
