Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which one of the following is an advantage of using electronic records in patient care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Electronic records improve communication among healthcare providers, ensuring continuity and coordination of care. Internet connectivity issues, cybersecurity risks, and data loss are disadvantages.
Question 2 of 5
What term is used to identify requirements associated with the implementation of electronic health records (EHRS) that are designed to improve the delivery of health care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Meaningful use refers to a set of criteria established to ensure that EHRs are used effectively to improve healthcare delivery, enhance patient safety, and facilitate data sharing. Performance reporting involves tracking outcomes but is not a requirement for EHR implementation. Support activities are secondary tasks, not core requirements. Core functions describe essential features of an EHR but do not encompass the broader goals of meaningful use.
Question 3 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.

The nurse is caring for a patient newly diagnosed with asthma. Which assessment data indicates the need for an immediate intervention?
