The storage and retrieval of patient records
The development of computer algorithms
The science of understanding information housed and processed by the brain

The correct answer is: The science of understanding information housed and processed by the brain

Cognitive Informatics (CI) is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the study of how information is processed, stored, and retrieved by the brain. It involves understanding the ways in which humans perceive, process, and act upon information, with a particular emphasis on cognitive processes such as decision-making, problem-solving, and learning. While the other options may be relevant to nursing informatics in general, Cognitive Informatics specifically delves into the science of information as it pertains to human cognition.
