Unit 7: Technology: Benefits and Future Trends No unread replies. 2 2 replies. What technology do you find most beneficial to use in your work or school setting? Least beneficial? Why do you find t... his tool useful or not? Then, using your imagination, look to the future and think about how this tool could be enhanced even further. Describe your dream technology, with consideration for patient care and safety. Post 1 What technology do you find most beneficial to use in your work or school setting? The Technology that I found most beneficial to use in my work and school are computer and computerized devices. Computers has revolutionized the medical and nursing field and change the was we do daily tasks and communicate with each other. Computers were introduced to the medical field in the Late 1950’s and since then the use of technology has become a specialty to enhance nursing care and efficiency. Why do you find this tool useful? Computers and computerized devices are useful to communicate and do tasks that would otherwise take a very long time manually. Computers allows people to exchange information instantly such as messaging, emails , discussion platforms ( such as our course shelf) so we do not need to be in a classroom or a specific location to provide the information that is needed. Without computers and computerize devices online classes are not possible so for me these tools make getting an education, learning new skills and completing nursing school possible. Least beneficial While computer provide more benefit that not one trend that as become least beneficial provide opportunity for unauthorized access and sharing of information, especially on social media . Because information is instantly shared and can go viral instantaneously this can breach patient privacy and confidentiality and a huge financial burden for the organization and suffering to the patient. My dream technology would be a computer that can separate the cancer cells from the body and destroy them , without causing any harm to the patient. This technology will be minimally invasive , like a magnetic it will pull all the cancer cell in one location and destroy all. For me this is so important because the complication of chemotherapy and surgeries create so much damage to tissues and the poor body images that are left is emotionally distressing for patients and families.

Computers in classroom provide young children the opportunity to learn skills, such as touch-typing, and core types of programs, such as word processing and spreadsheet applications, they will need throughout their careers. The Internet allows users the world over to pursue informal and formal distance learning, ranging from simple how-to videos up to graduate level college degrees. Post 2 What technology do you find most beneficial to use in your work or school setting? Least beneficial? Why or why not? The most beneficial technology is the school environment is the simulation lab. McGonigle states, " Simulations may use a process known as scaffolding to assist in acquiring the accepted level of proficiency" (McGonigle, 2015, p. 400). Students have the ability to practice and simulate real-life scenarios to prepare him or her for critical situations. Simulation is most beneficial because it has the ability to create a world where students can improve skills. Simulation is also beneficial because students will not harm an alive patients. It creates an opportunity for everything to go wrong and student will receive the proper feedback. The more students practice, the better chance he or she has to correctly care for an actual client. Simulation can also not be beneficial because the simulated scenario may not be critical enough to prepare the student. Students have the ability to get nervous once in a hospital setting because the patient will react to treatment. "A particular simulation may or may not include exploratory learning and social interaction" (McGonigle, 2015, p. 401). Students need social interaction to decrease anxiety and improve therapeutic conversations with patients. In a perfect world students come benefit more from simulations that are alive. The simulations bodies should have the ability to react to all care including taken blood, warm skin to touch, and have real range of motion. This invention would require more funding and a robotic team to bring a simulation patient to life. McGonigle, D. (2015). Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge, 3rd Edition.

Yesterday I had stimulation and our group almost killed our patient , by not recognizing he was having a seizure and required a different type of interventions that we were providing at that time. That This study source was downloaded by 100000831988016 from CourseHero.com on 04-24-2022 10:22:07 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/35241694/Week-7-postdocx/ would have been a catastrophe and emotionally damaging for me personally. So having that experience in stimulation using a manikin I am more prepared to provide care to a seizure patient. What also fascinating that these manikin comes in all age groups, shapes and are capable to go through any medical procedure to prepare medical staff for real life encounters. Our simulation lab has a manikin that giving birth she has a uterine that is palpable, can contract and the birth canal for a vaginal birth of the baby. The manikin go through all the emotion as a real woman giving birth . Manikin in the healthcare field help to prevent errors in patient care and is a great learning tool for medical staff, it can teach clinical skills, critical thinking, and improve communication during the learning and teaching interaction .
