• Select a SINGLE direct or indirect patient care technology that is relevant to your current practice or of interest to you. 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. Examples of topics to consider for your annotated bibliography include:
Prepare a 4-6 page paper in which you introduce your selected technology and describe at least four peer-reviewed publications that promote the use of your selected technology to enhance quality and safety standards in nursing. You will conclude your paper by summarizing why you recommend a particular technology by underscoring the evidence-based resources you presented. Be sure that your paper includes all of the following elements:
• Introduction to the Selected Technology Topic o What is your rationale for selecting this particular technology topic? Why are you interested in this?
o What research process did you employ?
o Which databases did you use?
• o Which search terms did you use?
o Note: In this section of your bibliography, you may use first-person since you are asked to
describe your rationale for selecting the topic and the research strategies you employed. Use third person in the rest of the bibliography, however.
• Annotation Elements o For each resource, include the full reference followed by the annotation. o Explain the focus of the research or review article you chose.
o Provide a summary overview of the publication.
o According to this source, what is the impact of this technology on patient safety and quality of care?
o According to this source, what is the relevance of this technology to nursing practice and the work of the interdisciplinary health care team?
o Why 41 you select this publication to write about out of the many possible options? In other words, make the case as to why this resource is important for health care practitioners to read.
In this course, we are going to flip the discussion forums. Instead of responding to a discussion question posed to you by the instructor, you will pose the discussion questions to your fellow students. In this way, you get to show your understanding of the concepts while also pushing the conversation forward by asking how we can use this knowledge in new ways. It may feel like a stretch, and if so, that is a good thing! You enrolled in this program (hopefully) to be stretched! As leaders, we cannot just be consumers of knowledge. We must also be able to take that knowledge, question it, determine how to apply it, and push for new answers to new questions.
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:
• Formulate questions that promote critical thinking in others related to technology, artificial intelligence, and decision-making.

Background Information
One of the technologies that will continue to influence organizations in the future is artificial intelligence. As a leader, you need to learn when to look to artificial intelligence for help in decision making, and when you can make the decision better on your own. You need to wrestle with the ethical challenges of artificial intelligence. Think back to LDR-305, your Ethics and Decision-Making for Leaders course. Try to use the foundational ethical and decision-making tools you gained in that course as you assess how to make decisions regarding data, artificial intelligence, etc. in this course.

Exercise 1
In your local nuclear power station, there is an alarm that senses when a temperature gauge exceeds a given threshold. The gauge measures the temperature of the core. Consider the Boolean variables A (alarm sounds), FA (alarm is faulty), and FG (gauge is faulty) and the multivalued nodes G (gauge reading) and T (actual core temperature).
a. Draw a Bayesian network for this domain, given that the gauge is more likely to fail when the core temperature gets too high.
b. Is your network a polytree? Why or why not?
c. Suppose there are just two possible actual and measured temperatures, normal and high; the probability that the gauge gives the correct temperature is x when it is working, but y when it is faulty. Give the conditional probability table associated with G.
d. Suppose the alarm works correctly unless it is faulty, in which case it never sounds. Give the conditional probability table associated with A.
e. Suppose the alarm and gauge are working and the alarm sounds. Calculate an expression for the probability that the temperature of the core is too high, in terms of the various conditional probabilities in the network.
