Section 1

A. How can knowledge of computer hardware and software help nurses to participate in information technology adoption decisions in the practice area?

According to Darvish, A., Bahramnejad, F., Keyhanian, S., & Navidhamidi, M. (2014), “For successful implementation of the electronic health reporting system, nurses must be knowledgeable about information technology, computer skills and informatics knowledge and skills.” It is important for all organizations including nurses to have knowledge of computer hardware and software systems. Nurses need to know the basics on how to operate the computer itself in order to progress to learning about the different types of software available for hospital use. Nurses specifically use software systems such as the Electronic Medical Records, Medical Diagnosis software, imaging and visualization, etc. along with several other programs to help the nurse and doctor make the best decision possible and provide the most appropriate care. Because information changes so rapidly computer systems allow for changes to be imputed and the information available for everyone to obtain.

Section 2

A . How is the concept of wisdom in Nursing Informatics (NI) like or unlike professional nursing judgment? Can any aspect of nursing wisdom be automated?

Wisdom is like professional judgement. McGonigle, D., & Mastrian, K. G. (2018), defines wisdom as being developed through knowledge, experience, insight, and reflection. Wisdom is used when the nurse makes a professional judgement. Wisdom is used when solving problems that have already been solved at one point or another. Nursing judgments are needed for new problems where the nurse has to determine what is best using the wisdom she has along with other possible solutions to the problem.
