Module 2: Decision Support Tools
After completing the interactive case study of a nurse assessing a patient with a term pregnancy for fetal well-being at this link, answer the following questions.
1. What did you learn from the interactive case study? When using various technologies, what steps should nurses take to validate the data from tools such as the electronic blood pressure machine?
2. In this case study, was the nurse able to use clinical judgment to correlate her clinical assessment with the data provided by the fetal monitoring technology? Why or why not?
3. What are the safety implications for the mom and her unborn child? How do artificial intelligence (driven digital health technologies) impact nurses’ clinical judgment and safety of patient care? Be specific and provide examples.
