Week 5 discussion

Please see attached document with specific instructions and grading rubric. Must follow directions carefully and only use sources listed in the instructions specifically.

I need this assignment by tomorrow October 2, 2020 at 5:00 pm EST

Please read topic carefully and follow the instructions on the required references very carefully.

Please answer parts A-E in detail, I have highlighted the 2 smart technologies for part A that I would like to be featured in the discussion and made a note as to how I use them in my nursing practice, please use that information and elaborate using the required sources.

Topic 1. Smart Technologies

The integration of multiple information systems is key to viewing the complete legal healthcare record to support the point-of-care (POC) approach to patient care. Information technology at point-of-care supports safe, high quality patient care for improved outcomes. The POC approach represents the highest level of interaction between the nurse and the information system since it requires the interaction to take place during the clinical encounter.

As bedside technologies continue to advance and expand, they interface with smartphones, the EHR, and other devices to improve interdisciplinary communication and patient care.

A. Select two or more of the following smart technologies and explain how they improve your workflow and patient safety or how they could improve your workflow and patient safety. Provide examples.

1. Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA)

2. Smart pumps

3. Electronic Intensive Care Unit (eICU)

4. Audiovisual (AV) Monitoring systems

5. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

6. Biometrics – Biometric fingerprint scanner for removing medications from the Med-Pyxis for patients medications administration. Biometric ID badge scanner for logging in and out of the electronic medical record for patient charting.

7. Robotics in Health Care – The use of robotic surgery

8. 3D Bioprinting

9. Nanotechnology

B. Discuss how wearable technology (wearables) impacts nursing practice and patient autonomy for self-care of chronic disease management. Provide examples.

D. Explain the measures being taken to protect patient security and confidentiality for wearable devices.

E. Identify the ethical and legal implications of wearable technology.

RN-BSN Discussion Guideline and Rubric
Please read the requirements of the discussion criteria thoroughly and carefully. Download and/or Print for personal use.

The discussion
grade includes

attendance,
participation, and

content

Initial Attendance

Initial student attendance in each course will be documented through the student’s completion of the course

certification, pre-test, and introduction, which is required to be completed within the first three (3) days of the

course. Failure to log into the course and post within the first three days will result in a recorded absence. A

student’s failure to attend during that time frame may result in administrative withdrawal from the course.

General Attendance

Learners in online courses must post to the discussion boards with at least three substantive posts on three

different days every week to meet attendance requirements. Students are expected to communicate directly with

the course instructor regarding any circumstance that may result in their absence. Absence is defined as not

fulfilling any of the above requirements and failure to post initial discussion responses by Thursday of each week.

Due to the nature of some discussions, instructors may not allow students to post in advance or after the week’s

end without prior approval. Forgiveness of absences, grade deductions, or acceptance of late assignments due to

any circumstance is up to the discretion of the instructor. Each week’s posting deadline for all posts is Sunday at

11:59 pm ET.

Participation:

Participation is not the same as attendance. Course participation is met through discussion postings and submission
of assignments including quizzes/exams/weekly summaries by required due dates. Participation level is determined
by the instructor and will be evaluated throughout the week. Additional point deductions may apply.

Content:
Initial responses require the use of a scholarly nursing journal article to support the student’s own ideas and that of
the nursing community in addition to the required textbook. “Scholarly” is defined as a full-text, peer-reviewed
nursing journal article published within the last 5 years. If the article is considered a “classic”, “foundational to
nursing”, or there is a “lack of current research” for the concept, articles older than 5 years can be utilized. If older
articles are utilized, the student should be prepared to defend to the instructor and/or class, why the article was
considered and used as support. Discussion of individual experiences related to the topic is encouraged.

Academic Honesty:
It is expected that student’s will do their own work and properly paraphrase, cite, and reference any content from
other sources including the course text book when creating their discussion responses. Students are encouraged to
view Keiser University’s plagiarism policy as it relates to academic honesty. Students may not use posts that they
have used previously in the same course or from their other courses. This is considered self-plagiarism and is strictly
prohibited.

Plagiarism: The deliberate or unintentional use of another’s words or ideas without proper citation for which the
student claims authorship. It is a policy of Keiser University that students assume responsibility for maintaining
honesty in all work submitted for credit and in any other work designated by an instructor of a course. Students may
not submit the same work completed for one course in any other course, earning credit for the same work each
time. Plagiarism, because it is a form of theft and dishonesty that interferes with the goals of education, must carry
severe penalties. These penalties can be found in the Keiser University Undergraduate Catalog, Academic Honesty
Policy.

ANY occurrences of academic dishonesty or plagiarism will result in a zero grade for the entire week’s discussion
grade.
