Average is ALWAYS the sum/n; n = number of discrete values. If you think of it in terms of a moving submarine, the submarine goes down 17.21 meters, then goes up 7.90 meters. Final position is -9.31 meters. So on average he went down 4.655 meters per move.
So, with that being said I turn to McGonigle and Mastrian (2009) and their definition of Nursing Informatics which is the âcombination of nursing science, information science and computer science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practiceâ (p. 5).
Health informatics. Health informatics (also called health care informatics, healthcare informatics, medical informatics, nursing informatics, clinical informatics, or biomedical informatics) is informatics in health care.
