Discussion Prompt #1 Assume you are going on a nursing job interview.

Discussion Prompt #2 List the types of biomedical technology available for patient care in your organization. List ways that you currently use the data and information gathered by these systems. How do these help you care for patients? Can you think of other ways to use the technology? Can you think of other ways to use the data or information? Have we come to rely too heavily on technology rather than on our own judgment? Justify your answer.
