Which of the following is not a component of the PICO process?

A. The best friend: Sharing passwords with friends is highly inappropriate and poses a security risk to patient information.

B. A nursing student who is completing a preceptorship on the unit: Sharing passwords, even with students, violates confidentiality and security protocols. Students should use their own credentials.

C. The unit clerk: Even administrative staff should not have access to a nurse's personal password. Each user must maintain their own access credentials.

D. Nobody; it is essential to maintain confidentiality and security by not sharing passwords under any circumstances.

A. Data capture; data capture is an essential role of nursing informatics, involving the collection and documentation of health information for analysis and reporting.

B. Health professional disciplinary action; while nursing informatics may support systems that help manage compliance, disciplinary actions fall under the purview of regulatory bodies and management, not nursing informatics specifically.

C. Patient order compliance; while ensuring compliance with patient orders may be supported by informatics systems, it is primarily a clinical responsibility rather than a specific role of nursing informatics.

D. Technical computer hardware support; while nursing informatics professionals may have some technical knowledge, providing technical hardware support is typically not their primary role and may be handled by IT professionals.
