Which NLN document emphasizes preparing graduates to use electronic health records and emphasizes evidence-based practice?

• A. NLN Position Statement
• B. DNP
• C. Master's Ed.
• D. PhD

Answer: (A)

The concept here is how nursing education standards specify the use of health information technology and the application of research to practice. The NLN Position Statement is designed to outline expectations for preparing graduates to work with electronic health records and to consistently apply evidence-based practice in care. It guides curricula to develop competencies in informatics, data interpretation, documentation, privacy, and the integration of research findings into clinical decisions, which are essential for safe, effective nursing care.

The other options refer to degree levels rather than NLN documents that set curricular expectations. DNP, Master’s Ed., and PhD describe credential pathways, not formal NLN guidance on how programs should structure education or emphasize EHR use and evidence-based practice.
