The nurse is planning care for a client and wants to include interventions that will best benefit the client. The nurse uses informatics to:
1. Find out what was done on the previous admission.
2. Search the Internet for information about the disease.
3. Search for research to support evidence-based practice.
4. Look for standardized nursing language.
3. Search for research to support evidence-based practice.
Rationale:
To provide the best care, the nurse can access nursing research that would support evidence-based practice. The previous admission would not provide evidence-based results. Searching the Internet for information regarding the disease will not help the nurse learn what the latest nursing research is. Standardized nursing language is useful when forming plans but will not help the nurse provide evidence-based care.
