How do nurses function in terms of knowledge work within healthcare settings?
- Nurses are exclusively knowledge generators, innovating all new knowledge in healthcare.
- Nurses function as intermediaries, mainly brokering information between healthcare professionals.
- Nurses are primarily knowledge consumers, relying solely on established protocols.
- Nurses can be both knowledge consumers and brokers, adapting based on their role and experiences. (correct)
In a scenario where a nurse notices subtle changes in a patient's vital signs that deviate from standard protocols and adjusts the care plan based on intuition and personal insights, which type of knowledge is primarily demonstrated?

Study Notes
- Nursing science is a building block of nursing informatics.
- A knowledge processor is not a characteristic of a knowledge worker.
- Outcomes evaluation is not a part of the KML cycle.
- Report generating best fits knowledge development in the KML cycle.
- Using intuition to adjust patient care based on personal insights is an example of tacit knowledge in nursing.
- Nurses use both explicit and tacit knowledge to assess, diagnose, and implement interventions for patients.
- Nurses can be both consumers and brokers, depending on their role and experience.
- Knowledge work is invisible and constantly changing, according to Dixon's (2012).
- Tacit knowledge is demonstrated in a busy hospital setting when a nurse adjusts a care plan based on intuition and personal insights.
- Nursing Informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, information science, and cognitive science to enhance patient outcomes.
- Integration of data, technology, and a nurse's knowledge base to inform actions that align with nursing theory illustrates the practical application of nursing science.
- Managing equipment alone is not directly related to the central role of data management in nursing.
- An approach that integrates data and a knowledge base to make informed decisions best illustrates the practical application of nursing science.
- Bits and bytes are represented by the cones of light in the Foundation of Knowledge model.
- Nurse knowledge workers continually acquire, process, assimilate, retain, and use information in overlapping phases.
