and document client care.

clinical instructor to input into the system.

Question 7
Type: MCSA
Which form of training would best fit the needs of a night shift worker (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.)?
1. An online tutorial that can be accessed when it fits worker’s time off

3. A three-hour video that can be run during the worker’s shift
4. A full-day workshop that starts shortly after the end of the shift
Question 8
Type: MCSA
Which statement regarding the training approach is true?
1. Users may choose online multimedia or online tutorials to enhance retention.
2. Computer-based training should be used whenever data entry is required.
3. Blended learning is popular because it is appropriate for almost any content need.
4. Instructor-led training is still the best approach even though it is now less prevalent.
Question 9
Type: MCMA
The most essential knowledge for a staff nurse end-user are which of the following?
Standard Text: Select all that apply.
1. Basic equipment troubleshooting procedures
2. Backing up the computer system at the end of each shift
3. Error message content recognition
4. Protocol for dealing with system “freezes” and “crashes”

Question 10
Type: MCMA
Among the following computer-related policies, which of the following are appropriate?
Standard Text: Select all that apply.
1. A nursing student shared confidential lab results obtained from the system at the request of one of the student’s
relatives. The policy is to dismiss the student from the clinical site.
2. Both students and employees sign documents that explain the consequence of termination for misuse of the
system.
3. Access codes are assigned to authenticate each individual user’s identity and may not be shared with anyone.
4. A radiology student makes a copy of a client’s MRI report to prepare for the next days clinical. The copy is
accidentally left in the waiting room and found by a staff member. The policy is to dismiss the student from the
clinical site.
5. Once trained and entered into the system, employees may sign other users in under their access code for
documentation purposes when necessary.

needs?
Standard Text: Select all that apply.
1. User classes are used to refine the types of training courses needed for system implementation.
2. End-users are identified and grouped by job class responsibilities.
3. Training needs of each job class are determined according to what functions each end-user will perform.
4. Training is delivered based upon what administrators decide to automate first.
5. User class is defined and categorized as the personnel who perform similar functions.
Question 12
Type: MCMA
