Question 1

Type: MCSA

It has been determined from previous experience that eight hours is the minimum time necessary for staff nurses to obtain initial training on the new system. Which of the following is the best way to schedule this training?

1. One eight-hour session is offered six weeks prior to go-live, where employees drop in when they are caught up with work assignments.
2. Eight one-hour sessions are scheduled one month prior to go-live, starting immediately after the employee’s shift has ended.
3. Four two-hour sessions are scheduled three months prior to go-live during non-scheduled work time.
4. Two four-hour sessions are offered one month before go-live during non-scheduled work time.

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: The correct answer is “two four-hour sessions are offered one month before go-live during non-scheduled work time.” Training is best when done within one month of go-live and offered at times when the employees are off work. Otherwise, they may be too tired or stressed to obtain the information. For eight hours of training, two four-hour sessions are preferred.

Rationale 2: The correct answer is “two four-hour sessions are offered one month before go-live, during non-scheduled work time.” Training is best when done within one month of go-live and offered at times when the employees are off work. Otherwise, they may be too tired or stressed to obtain the information. For eight hours of training, two four-hour sessions are preferred.

Rationale 3: The correct answer is “two four-hour sessions are offered one month before go-live, during non-scheduled work time.” Training is best when done within one month of go-live and offered at times when the employees are off work. Otherwise, they may be too tired or stressed to obtain the information. For eight hours of training, two four-hour sessions are preferred.

Rationale 4: Two four-hour sessions are offered one month before go-live, during non-scheduled work time. Training is best when done within one month of go-live and offered at times when the employees are off work. Otherwise, they may be too tired or stressed to obtain the information. For eight hours of training, two four-hour sessions are preferred.

Question 2

Type: MCSA

Which of the following provides the most effective end-user learning experience?

1. Real client data are utilized for realistic practice.
2. The equipment used for training is the same used in the clinical setting.
3. Two employees share each workstation for mutual encouragement.
4. The live system is used with simulated client data.

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 1: The correct answer is “the equipment used for training is the same used in the clinical setting.” Ideally, individual user training should be done on the same equipment that will be seen in the clinical setting. If the live system is used, data may be altered and confidentiality of client information may be compromised.

Rationale 2: Ideally, individual user training should be done on the same equipment that will be seen in the clinical setting. If the live system is used, data may be altered and confidentiality of client information may be compromised.

Rationale 3: The correct answer is “the equipment used for training is the same used in the clinical setting.” Ideally, individual user training should be done on the same equipment that will be seen in the clinical setting. If the live system is used, data may be altered and confidentiality of client information may be compromised.

Rationale 4: The correct answer is “the equipment used for training is the same used in the clinical setting”. Ideally, individual user training should be done on the same equipment that will be seen in the clinical setting. If the live system is used, data may be altered and confidentiality of client information may be compromised.

Question 3

Type: MCSA

A proficiency examination is planned to ensure that employees have the requisite knowledge to use a new wireless system. Which statement indicates the best use of testing?

1. Testing is criterion-referenced to evaluate predetermined system competencies.
2. Computer testing is done using a multiple-choice question format.
3. Predetermined competencies are determined by comparing class averages.
4. Norm-referenced testing is used to ensure the most successful employees keep their position.

Correct Answer: 1

Rationale 1: The most effective testing is criterion-referenced with predetermined competencies, not comparing results among employees.

Rationale 2: The correct answer is “testing is criterion-referenced to evaluate predetermined system competencies.” The most effective testing is criterion-referenced with predetermined competencies, not comparing results among employees.

Rationale 3: The correct answer is “testing is criterion-referenced to evaluate predetermined system competencies.” The most effective testing is criterion-referenced with predetermined competencies, not comparing results among employees.

Rationale 4: The correct answer is “testing is criterion-referenced to evaluate predetermined system competencies.” The most effective testing is criterion-referenced with predetermined competencies, not comparing results among employees. Norm-referenced testing is useful in competitive hiring situations where there are more applicants than positions available. However, this type of testing is not typically used for information system training.
