Week 4 Midweek Comprehensive Question
Regarding the information literacy competency, I will be expected to access the needed information effectively and efficiently. I will achieve this competency by adopting appropriate information behavior, which will enable me to obtain, through various channels or mediums, information well-fitted to information needs (Chipps et al., 2022). In addition, I will critically examine the importance of prudent and ethical use of information in healthcare. To be an information-literate APN, I am working on increasing my knowledge of how information can be culturally sensitive or politically meaningful (Chipps et al., 2022). Furthermore, I am improving my skills to use information effectively in planning and creating a product to improve healthcare delivery.
