Cardiac Monitor

Electrodes

Linux

System software is designed to directly operate on the computer hardware, to provide basic functionality to users. What is an example of a system software?

\
Windows Defender

Linux

Winrar

iTunes

ROM or Read Only Memory

Rebooting or shutting off your computer, this type of memory remains constant throughout the process. Nothing is added nor deleted. What type of memory is this referring to?

A. Eliminate misinterpretation of handwriting of Prescribers

B. Efficient documentation and storage

C. Minimize medication errors

Reasons why nursing informatics adopted the strategy of advocating computerization of hospital documentations and plans of care.

Proprietary Software

Software that is owned by an organization or an individual, as opposed to “public-domain software,” which is freely distributed.

* NOC
* NIC
* NANDA

NMDS uses the following terminologies from these sources

2000s

Time period characterized by the use of VoIP, Smart Cards, PDA tablets and Wireless Point of Care?

* Reduce telephone and verbal orders
* Nurses don’t struggle to read handwriting
* Reduce delays in patient care

Ethical considerations to keep in mind when using Electronic Health Records:

\

1. Confidentiality
2. Same level of access for all health care personnel
3. Patient privacy
4. One password for the whole health care team
5. Limited time the information is left on screen
6. Timely and accurate data entry

2, 3, 5, 6

Barriers in using paper records:


1. System availability
2. Legibility of input
3. Finding clipboards for most current information
4. User acceptance
5. One person can access the chart at a time
6. Timely filling of data results into chart

ANA or American Nurses Association

The official nursing organization that contributes in the development of standards of nursing practice worldwide

Microcomputer

Workstation on wheels is an example of

CPU

Nursing informatics is a specialty integrating nursing science, computer science to support decision making on all roles and settings

ANA’s definition of Nursing Informatics

2, 4, 6

Benefits of using electronic medical records or charts

\

1. Records must be on the unit
2. Alerts for abnormal lab values and vital signs
3. Health care personnel must walk to location of chart
4. Drug interaction alerts
5. One person can access the chart at a time
6. Alerts for schedule patient events

Free Software is a movement or moral philosophy while Open Source is about development methodology

Main difference between an Open Source Software and Free Software

Random Access Memory

Opening and closing Microsoft Office, Games, etc. This type of memory keeps rewritten with every application. What type of memory is active at this point?

RFID

A useful technology that emerged to improve and match right patient with right medication

UNIVAC-1

Type of computer that ran on vacuum tubes, has an access speed in milliseconds and offers just 10 kb of storage. What type of computer is this
