The manager is evaluating a beginning nurse's ability to use the computerized documentation system. Which observations indicate that the beginning nurse needs additional training on the computer?
elect all that apply.
1. Documented care for one patient in 20 minutes
2. Input patient safety data on the appropriate screen
3. Stated laboratory results not available when they were entered 4 hours earlier
4. Retrieved a recent peer-reviewed article supporting an aspect of one patient's care
5. Commented that a paper chart is the only legal and reliable form of documentation
Correct Answer: 1, 3, 5
An informatics competency for the beginning nurse is: demonstrate basic computer literacy and the ability to use desktop applications and electronic communication. Spending 20 minutes to document one patient's care, stating that previously entered laboratory values were unavailable, and believing that paper is the only legal form of documentation indicate that the nurse needs additional training on the computer. Inputting patient safety data and retrieving an article indicate that training has been effective.
