QUIZ 1: INTRODUCTION TO NURSING SCIENCE AND INFORMATICS Flashcards
(52 cards)
is a combination of the different established sciences which involve and affect the holistic care of the nurses towards the patient
Nursing Science
was considered as the first nurse scientist because of her work in scientific inquiry on data. She proved that mortality of patients in the hospitals reduced when the environment of the patient was clean. Sanitation, clean air, and clean water reduced the infection and therefore less patients died.
Florence Nightingale

Evidence Based Practice
knowledge
Information
the study of computational systems for storing and retrieving information, especially scientific or technical information.
Information Science/ Informatics/ Computing
is deemed one of the founders of informatics. He was a German computer scientist, cyberneticist, and electrical engineer. He was an early and influential researcher of German computer science, and was the developer of the Lernmatrix, an early implementation of artificial neural networks. Steinbuch also wrote about the societal implications of modern media.
Karl Steinburch
a set of interrelated components that collect, manipulate, store data, distribute information to support decision making and provide a feedback mechanism to monitor performance.
Information System

Hardware
consists of various programs and procedures
Software
consists of data organized in the required structure
Database
consists of hubs, communication media and network devices
Network
consist of device operators, network administrators and system specialists.
