Nurses may use telehealth to deliver healthcare information. What does this type of nursing care delivery demonstrate?
1. Regulation by the World Health Organization
2. A production of the World Wide Web
3. Use of a health activity that involves distance
4. Promoting the public image of nursing
Correct Answer: 3
Telehealth is an umbrella term encompassing health activity that involves distance. Programs use digital interactive television or computers that offer two-way communication. Telehealth is changing the way that health care is being delivered and will continue to play an increasing role with the emphasis on community focus. The World Health Organization does not currently regulate telehealth programs. The World Wide Web does not control telehealth or offer the program to consumers. Telehealth links nurses, doctors, and other healthcare providers to patients. The primary purpose of telehealth is care delivery and not promotion of the image of nursing.
