Review Questions

1 .
The nurse is discussing machine learning with a nursing student during a clinical rotation. What is an example of a statement made by the nursing student that would warrant further education?
  1. “Machine learning algorithms analyze patient data, including electronic health records and lifestyle information, to predict the risk of diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular conditions.”
  2. “Machine learning is used to analyze medical images (MRI, CT scans, x-rays) for the early detection and diagnosis of conditions like cancer.”
  3. “Machine learning uses rule-based clinical decision support systems with a set of predetermined rules based on clinical guidelines to assist health-care providers in making decisions.”
  4. “Machine learning algorithms match eligible patients with appropriate clinical trials by analyzing patient records and trial criteria.”
2 .
A newly graduated nurse educates a patient on the benefits of artificial intelligence in health care. What is an example of a statement made by the nurse that would warrant further education by the nurse preceptor?
  1. “AI enhances the speed and accuracy at which health care is delivered.”
  2. “AI can use algorithms to predict diagnoses and treatment plans.”
  3. “AI can be used to provide personalized treatment plans to improve health outcomes.”
  4. “AI analyzes real-time data to definitively diagnose patient conditions.”
3 .
While telemedicine is associated with many benefits, it may also create challenges. How can the nurse help to reduce potential challenges of integrating AI into telemedicine?
