Question 15
Type: FIB
_____________and wireless technology can be used with CISs to allow information entry and retrieval at the
point of care or wherever it is needed by the health care professional.
Standard Text:
Correct Answer: Mobile
Rationale : Mobile technology can be used with CISs allow information entry and retrieval at the point of care or
wherever it is needed by the healthcare professional. This is best seen by the healthcare professional who can view
client lab results while walking or at the point of care which enhances worker productivity because it eliminates
the need to walk back to a central location to view test results, and it improves client service because treatments
can be ordered and initiated in a more timely fashion.
Global Rationale:
Cognitive Level: Remembering
Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment
Client Need Sub: Management of Care
Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Communication and Documentation
Learning Outcome:
Question 16
Type: MCSA
The client registration system is also known as which of the following?
1. Admission system
2. Admission/discharge/transfer system
3. Transfer system
4. Discharge system
Question 17
Type: FIB
_________________________ systems use clinical information to generate charges for care.
Standard Text:
Correct Answer: Coding
Rationale : Administrative information systems support client care by managing financial and demographic
information and providing reporting capabilities. This category includes client management, financial, payroll,
and human resources, and quality assurance systems. Coding systems use clinical information to generate charges
for care.
Global Rationale:

Question 19
Type: FIB
____________________________ can be used to fine tune and improve critical pathways thereby contributing to
improved client outcomes.
Standard Text:
Correct Answer: Variances

Rationale : The nurse, or other care provider, can select one or more appropriate critical pathways for the client.
If more than one path is selected, the system should merge the paths to create one “master” path or protocol. The
system should identify variances to the anticipated outcomes as they are charted and provide aggregate variance
data for analysis by the providers. This information can be used to fine tune and improve the critical pathways,
thereby contributing to improved client outcomes.
Global Rationale:
Cognitive Level: Applying
Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment
Client Need Sub: Management of Care
Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Communication and Documentation
Learning Outcome:
Question 20
Type: MCSA

1. Personal access to patient’s home address
2. Portable devices have a finite amount of space to receive instantaneous lab results.
3. The elimination of paper copies of lab reports
4. The elimination of a unit secretary position since all data is housed on the mobile device
