  • Teach & learn 10

    Discussion Prompt (answer all bullet points below within your response) Two positives: Identify two ways artificial intelligence (AI) could benefit your learning (e.g., adaptive practice questions, rapid feedback on drafts, clinical scenario rehearsal). Give a specific nursing example for each and explain the impact on patient safety, clinical judgment, or efficiency. Two negatives: Identify two risks or downsides (e.g., bias and inaccuracies (hallucinations), privacy/HIPAA concerns, inequity of access, academic integrity/over-reliance, loss of writing/clinical reasoning skills). Explain how each could harm learning or patient care if not managed. Mini-case: A classmate used an AI tool to generate a care-plan rationale and copied it with minor edits. Analyze this using your programs academic integrity standards: What should the student have done differently? What would be an appropriate instructor response?

    Discussion Prompt:

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare and nursing education. From clinical decision-support tools and predictive analytics to AI-powered chatbots and writing assistants, nurses at every level are encountering AI in both academic and practice settings. As a student and a practicing nurse, it is essential that you develop a thoughtful, evidence-informed perspective on the role of AI, including its benefits, its risks, and your professional responsibility in using it wisely.

    After completing the assigned readings for this week, reflect on the growing role of artificial intelligence in nursing practice and nursing education. Drawing on your clinical experiences, coursework, and personal perspective, respond thoughtfully to each of the following components.

    Part 1: Your Perspective on AI in Nursing

    Share your personal perspective on the use of AI in nursing. Consider the following:

    • How do you feel about AI tools being used in healthcare settings do you see them as an asset, a threat, or something in between?
    • What experiences (clinical, academic, or personal) have shaped your current view of AI in nursing?
    • Do you believe AI has the potential to improve patient outcomes? Why or why not? Provide a specific example to support your position.

    Part 2: Appropriate vs. Inappropriate Student Use of AI

    AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot are increasingly used by nursing students. It is critical to understand the distinction between appropriate and inappropriate use in an academic setting. Using the assigned readings to support your content, describe how you personally navigate the line between appropriate and inappropriate AI use in your studies. What guidelines or principles do you follow?

    Part 3: AI and Clinical Judgment

    Clinical judgment is the cornerstone of professional nursing practice. Reflect on how AI may impact the development and application of clinical judgment:

    • Can AI support or enhance clinical judgment, or does reliance on AI risk undermining the nurses critical thinking skills? Support your answer with a specific clinical example.
    • Consider a clinical scenario where AI provides a recommendation that conflicts with your nursing assessment of the patient. How would you respond? What does the ANA Code of Ethics say about accountability in such a situation?
    • How do you ensure that AI tools supplement rather than replace your own reasoning at the bedside?

    Part 4: Benefits and Limitations of AI in Nursing Practice

    Using evidence from your coursework or current literature, discuss the benefits and limitations of AI in nursing practice.

    Part 5: Applying AI Literacy to Your Learning and Clinical Practice

    • Describe one specific way you currently use AI tools to support your academic learning.
    • What responsibility do you believe nurses have in advocating for ethical, equitable, and evidence-based AI implementation in their healthcare organizations?

  • Nursing Question

    In order to write a case study paper, you must carefully address a number of sections in a specific order with specific information contained in each. The guideline below outlines each of those sections.

    Section

    Information to Include

    Introduction (patient and problem)

    • Explain who the patient is (Age, gender, etc.)
    • Explain what the problem is (What was he/she diagnosed with, or what happened?)
    • Introduce your main argument (What should you as a nurse focus on or do?)

    Pathogenesis

    • Explain the development or evolution of the disease, from the initial stimulus (how etiologic factors alter physiologic function) to ultimate expression of manifestations of the disease and related complications.
    History
    • Explain what health problems the patient has (Has she/he been diagnosed with other diseases?)
    • Detail any and all previous treatments (Has she/he had any prior surgeries or is he/she on medication?)

    Nursing Physical Assessment

    • List all the patients health stats in sentences with specific numbers/levels (Blood pressure, bowel sounds, ambulation, etc.)

    Related Treatments

    • Explain what treatments the patient is receiving because of his/her disease

    Nursing Diagnosis & Patient Goal

    • Explain what your nursing diagnosis is (What is the main problem for this patient? What need to be addressed?)
    • Explain what your goal is for helping the patient recover (What do you want to change for the patient?)

    Nursing Interventions

    • Explain how you will accomplish your nursing goals, and support this with citations (Reference the literature)

    Evaluation

    • Explain how effective the nursing intervention was (What happened after your nursing intervention? Did the patient get better?)

    Recommendations

    • Explain what the patient or nurse should do in the future to continue recovery/improvement

    Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length and will be graded on how well you complete each of the above sections. You will also be graded on your use of APA style and on your application of nursing journals into the treatments and interventions. For integrating nursing journals, remember the following:

    • Make sure to integrate citations into all of your paper
    • Support all claims of what the disease is, why it occurs, and how to treat it with references to the literature on this disease
    • Always use citations for information that you learned from a book or article; if you do not cite it, you are telling your reader that YOU discovered that information (how to treat the disease, etc.)
    • Patient Scenario: Ischemic Stroke Case Study

      Patient Introduction

      • Name: Mr. David Ramirez
      • Age: 68 years old
      • Gender: Male
      • Diagnosis: Acute ischemic stroke (left middle cerebral artery)
      • Admitted after sudden right-sided weakness and slurred speech.

      • Medications at home:
        • Lisinopril
        • Metformin
        • Atorvastatin
      • No prior stroke history.

      Initial Symptoms

      • Facial droop on right side
      • Right arm weakness
