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).
Nursing Informatics is a broad field which combines nursing knowledge with the use of computers. Jobs in this field could range from the implementation of a new computer network within a hospital to the sales of computer systems to hospitals by an outside computer company.
