Which types of data do nurses typically encounter?

  1. Alpha, numeric, audio, image, and video data

  2. Alphanumeric data, audio data, and video data only

  3. Numeric and image data only

  4. Text data and image data only

The correct answer is: Alpha, numeric, audio, image, and video data

Nurses typically encounter a wide variety of data types in their practice. These can include alpha (text-based information), numeric (quantitative data), audio (recorded sounds), image (pictures or scans), and video data. This diverse range of data types is essential for nurses to assess, monitor, and provide quality care to patients effectively. Option A correctly identifies the comprehensive list of data types nurses commonly encounter. The other options are incorrect because they do not encompass the full spectrum of data types encountered by nurses in their daily work.
