The nurse is caring for a client who has a foot wound that is not healing appropriately. How will accessing the clinical decision support (CDS) system help with this client's care?
A) Allows the nurse to view options from experts
B) Facilitates available medical research
C) Makes the decision for the next step
D) Points the nurse in the next direction
Answer: A
A CDS system will offer options from experts for the client's situation. It remains up to the nurse to make a final decision, but the information obtained can be useful in assisting the nurse to select other options of care. The system will not point the nurse in any particular direction; the nurse views the information and determines the next step to take. The system will not make the decision for the nurse. The CDS system assists the nurse with nursing decisions, not medical decisions or information.
