LEVEL 1
What does the acronym IoMT stand for?
Internet of Medical Things.
What is "intentional presence" in nursing informatics
Giving patients full attention and time without digital distractions.
What term describes the stress caused by adapting to complex health technologies?
Technostress
What ethical principle ensures patients are involved in decision-making despite automation?
Autonomy
What technology allows nurses to practice clinical skills in a simulated environment?
Virtual Reality (VR).
Give three example of an IoMT device used in healthcare.
Smart beds, wearables, and home sensors.
What term describes empathy expressed through digital platforms like telehealth?
Digital Empathy
Give one symptom or effect of technostress on healthcare workers.
Cognitive overload, anxiety, burnout, or errors.
Give one ethical concern that arises from using AI or IoMT in nursing practice.
Privacy breaches, algorithmic bias, or loss of human judgment.
What device overlays digital information in a nurse’s visual field to assist in real-time care?
Augmented Reality (AR).
What does EHR stand for, and what is its main function?
Electronic Health Record – stores and organizes patient data digitally.
Give one example of how a nurse can demonstrate digital empathy during telehealth.
Using a calm tone, validating patient emotions, or sharing screens to explain treatments.
What kind of training helps reduce technostress among nurses?
Regular informatics training programs to enhance user competency.
What should a nurse do if an AI system recommends early discharge but the nurse feels it’s unsafe?
Use human judgment and advocate for the patient’s best interest.
Give one example of how AI supports nursing decision-making.
Predicting patient risks, automating documentation, or suggesting interventions.
In Nursing Informatics, what is the main goal of integrating technology into healthcare?
To improve efficiency, accuracy, and patient outcomes while maintaining human connection.
Why is emotional intelligence training important in virtual nursing care?
It helps nurses recognize and respond appropriately to patients’ emotions during digital interactions.
What is the purpose of implementing user-friendly design in health systems?
To make systems easier reducing cognitive burden.
IoMT devices send patient data to nurses in real-time. What skill do nurses need to manage this effectively?
Data interpretation skills.
What is one potential risk of relying too heavily on AI in nursing practice?
Overdependence, bias in algorithms, or reduced human critical thinking.
Define Nursing Informatics.
The integration of nursing science, information technology, and data management to enhance patient care.
What is one strategy to maintain human connection in a technology-laden healthcare environment?
Combining technology with face-to-face interaction, involving patients in viewing their data, or having scheduled “tech-free” time.
What organizational policy can help prevent burnout related to technology use?
Schedule “technology downtime” or breaks to focus on patient interaction.
Name one legal or security risk associated with IoMT devices in hospitals.
Unauthorized data access or cybersecurity breaches.
Summarize the core message of this Chapter in one sentence.
Technology should enhance—not replace—human care, ensuring compassion remains central to nursing.
