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).
What Does a Nursing Informatics Specialist Do? A nursing informatics specialist uses a combination of nursing knowledge and expertise in computers to manage the information systems used by nurses in hospitals, medical offices and clinics. They collect and analyze data, plan and test the design of information systems, oversee their implementation and train nurses and administrators in their use.
