2. Knowledge
o Awareness and understanding of a set of information
and ways that information can be made useful to support a
specific task or arrive at a decision. This knowledge
building is an ongoing process engaged in while a person is
conscious and going about his or her normal daily
activities.
3. Wisdom:
Knowledge applied in a practical way or translated
into actions; the use of knowledge and experience to
heighten common sense and insight so as to exercise
sound judgment in practical matters. Sometimes thought
of as the highest form of common sense, resulting
from accumulated knowledge or erudition (deep, thorough
learning) or enlightenment (education that results in
understanding and the dissemination of knowledge).
Wisdom is the ability to apply valuable and viable
knowledge, experience, understanding, and insight while
being prudent and sensible. It is focused on our own minds;
it is the synthesis of our experience, insight,
understanding, and knowledge. Wisdom is the appropriate
use of knowledge to solve human problems. It is knowing
when and how to apply knowledge.
, 4. Scientific Underpinning:
The scientific underpinnings of practice provide the
basis of knowledge for advanced nursing practice.
These scientific underpinnings include sciences such as
biology, physiology, psychology, ethics, and nursing.
Nursing science, information science, and computer
science
5. The Foundation of Knowledge Model
The Foundation of Knowledge model is also introduced as
the organizing conceptual framework of this text, and the
model is tied to nursing science and the practice of nursing
informatics.
6. Computer science:
o Branch of engineering (application of science) that
studies the theoretical foundations of information
and computation and their implementation and
application in computer systems. The study of
storage/memory, conversion and transformation, and
transfer or transmission of information in machines— that
is, computers—through both algorithms and practical
implementation problems. Algorithms are detailed,
unambiguous action sequences in the design, efficiency,
and application of computer systems, whereas practical
implementation problems deal with the software and
hardware.
7. Cognitive science:
o Interdisciplinary field that studies the mind, intelligence,
and behavior from an information processing perspective.
8. Information science
o Information science enables the processing of information.
This processing links people and technology. Humans are
organic ISs, constantly acquiring, processing, and
generating information or knowledge in their professional
and personal lives. This high degree of knowledge, in fact,
characterizes humans as extremely intelligent organic
machines. The premise of this text revolves around this
concept, and the text is organized on the basis of the
Foundation of Knowledge model: knowledge acquisition,
