facilitated
... [Show More] by use of the "SBAR" and "PACE" procedures?
A. Communication
B. Implementation

SBAR and PACE are acronyms for "hand-off" methods of communication used by
health care organizations to share information between shifts and between
departments. SBAR and PACE are not types of implementation [of client care].
Implementation, the fourth step of the nursing process, is an action rather than a
coordination of care. SBAR and PACE are not types of policymaking or protocol
development.

areas cited and enumerated by both groups. A delineation (and examples of each) of
knowledge, skills, and attitudes constitutes competent nursing practice. Environment,
sound nursing judgments, and values are important to the client's care but are not

Bedside computers are an example of informatics used in health care primarily for
which purpose?
A. Documenting interdisciplinary care
B. Enhancing collaboration and coordination of care
C. Offering clients access to e-mail and the internet
D. Retrieving data for evidence-based practice - Answer- A. Documenting
interdisciplinary care
The largest application of health care informatics is the growing trend of the use of
electronic medical records (EMRs) for documenting interdisciplinary care. Computers
may be located at the client's bedside or in the treatment room for ease of access for
documentation. Computers allow quick communication among health care
professionals to enhance collaboration and coordination of care; however, this type
of communication typically would not take place at the client's bedside. Bedside
computers in the health care setting are not intended for client use. The Internet
provides ways to search multiple sources of information and retrieve data efficiently;
however, this would not be done at the client's bedside.
A nurse has recently been assigned to a medical-surgical clinical rotation. According

C. Older adults in a nursing home

promote health and prevent illness or injury in clients from 18 to 100 years of age or
older. The most common practice setting is the acute care hospital. Hospitalized
children with acute and chronic illnesses are commonly seen in pediatric nursing.
Older adults in a nursing home are commonly seen in geriatric nursing. Working
adults in a corporate setting are commonly seen by occupational health nurses.

the best choice to coordinate a smooth transition from acute care to community
rehabilitation services.
