Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A recent nursing graduate in a busy Emergency Department triages a patient who has sustained a large, deep puncture wound in his foot while working at a construction site. He is bleeding and is in pain. The nurse enters the triage data that she has obtained from the patient into a computerized, standard emergency patient-classification system. After she enters the assessment data, she notices an alert on the computer screen that prompts her to ask the patient about the status of his tetanus immunization. What system of technology is involved in generating the alert?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Clinical decision support. In this scenario, the nurse entered the patient's assessment data into a computerized emergency patient-classification system. The alert generated on the screen prompting her to ask about the patient's tetanus immunization status is an example of clinical decision support system technology. This system uses algorithms and guidelines to assist healthcare providers in making clinical decisions. In this case, the alert is triggered based on the type of injury (puncture wound) and the potential need for tetanus immunization due to the nature of the injury.
Other choices are incorrect:
A: Computerized provider order - This system is used for ordering medications, tests, and procedures, not for generating alerts related to patient assessment.
B: Electronic health record - While an EHR stores patient data, it does not actively prompt the nurse to inquire about specific information like tetanus immunization status.
D: WL technology - This term does not relate to the situation described and is not a recognized healthcare
