Which term best describes anything that returns information back to a user?

Input
Output
Processing
Storage

The correct answer is: Output

Output is the best term to describe anything that returns information back to a user. In the context of nursing informatics, when a system produces information or displays data for a user to view, it is considered an output. This could include reports, alerts, patient data on a monitor, or any other form of information that is presented to the user. Options A, C, and D are not the best terms to describe returning information back to a user. Input refers to information provided to a system, processing involves manipulating or interpreting data, and storage involves retaining data for future use.
