Introduction

Professional Context

Before you begin to develop the assessment, you are encouraged to

complete the Annotated Bibliography Formative Assessment. Completing

this activity will help you succeed with the assessment and counts

the focus for this assessment.

Direct patient care technologies require an interaction, or direct

contact, between the nurse and patient. Nurses use direct patient

care technologies every day when delivering care to patients.

Electronic thermometers or pulse oximeters are examples of

direct patient care technologies.

Indirect patient care technologies, on the other hand, are those

employed on behalf of the patient. They do not require interaction,

or direct contact, between the nurse and patient. A handheld

device for patient documentation is an example of an indirect

patient care technology.

Conduct a library search using the various electronic databases

available through the Capella University Library.

Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide for help

in identifying scholarly and/or authoritative sources.

Access the NHS Learner Success Lab, linked in the courseroom

navigation menu, for additional resources.

Scan the search results related to your chosen technology.

Select four peer-reviewed publications focused on your selected

topic that are the most interesting to you.

Evaluate the impact of patient care technologies on desired

outcomes.

technology and describe at least four peer-reviewed publications that
