novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert.

 2. ADVANCED BEGINNER
At this stage, individuals have gained some experience and have a basic understanding of
the field. They can perform tasks independently but still require guidance and supervision
in complex situations. Advanced beginners are more aware of the principles and theories
but may struggle to apply them consistently. As an illustration, consider newly graduated
nurses in the nursing field. These nurses have more experiences than new graduates and
are therefore better equipped to identify recurring, significant elements of a situation.
They are knowledgeable and skilled, yet they lack sufficient in-depth experience.

Competent individuals have developed a level of proficiency and can function effectively
in their role. They have gained sufficient experience and are able to prioritize and manage
multiple tasks. Competent nurses or nursing informaticists can recognize patterns and
make decisions based on their knowledge and experience.

3. COMPETENT

Competent individuals have developed a level of proficiency

and can function effectively in their role. They have gained
sufficient experience and are able to prioritize and manage
multiple tasks. Competent nurses or nursing informaticists
can recognize patterns and make decisions based on their
knowledge and experience.
 4. PROFICIENT
Proficient practitioners have a deeper understanding of
the field and can think critically and holistically. They
can effectively analyze complex situations, anticipate
potential issues, and make sound judgments. Proficient
nurses or nursing informatics specialists can recognize
and respond to changing patient or system needs.

5. EXPERT
Experts have extensive experience and expertise in their field.
They possess intuitive understanding and can make decisions
quickly and accurately. Experts have a deep understanding of
the underlying principles and can effectively navigate complex
situations. They can also mentor and teach others, contributing
to the development of the field.
 S I T U AT I O N :

A 48-year-old male patient of average height who is slightly overweight. The

patient’s recent blood test indicates that he has impaired glucose tolerance
and slightly high cholesterol.
The nurse discusses the results of the blood test with the patient, and invites
him to return for a follow-up visit. The second blood test indicates higher
blood glucose levels and the same high cholesterol.

DIKW Exercise: The nurse then takes this information, refers to the patient’s electronic
health records, and discovers that the patient has a family history of
diabetes. This data, added to the information from the blood tests, allows
the nurse to determine that the patient has type 2 diabetes.
Finally, the nurse determines the most appropriate strategy for addressing
this patient’s diabetes. Because the patient does not have a personal history
with diabetes and is relatively young, the nurse discusses lifestyle
interventions to manage his glucose levels. If after six months, the patient’s
glucose is not within the normal range, the nurse and the physician will
consider medications and other treatment options.

From the situation above, identify the paragraph belonging to Data,

Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom by filling up the needed information
on the table below.
