Intravenous (IV) infusion pumps are commonly used in healthcare settings to deliver medications, fluids, and nutrients to patients at controlled rates. Approximately 90 percent of hospitalized patients receive an IV infusion as part of their medical treatment (Husch et al., 2005). The use of computerized smart pump technology in hospitals has increased from approximately 33% in 2005 to almost 50% in 2009 (Brady, 2010). In recent years, smart infusion pumps have gradually become more sophisticated
Patient monitoring is the repeated and continuous observations or measurements of the patient's physiological function and the function of life support equipment for the purpose of guiding management decisions, including when to make therapeutic interventions, and assessment of those interventions.

In 2010 a formal apology was given by the US Secretary, Hilary Clinton, stating that the Guatemalan Syphilis Experiment was “clearly unethical,” and “although these events occurred more than 64 years ago, we are outraged that such reprehensible research could have occurred under the guise of public health (Mcneil,Donald).” Recently a class lawsuit was created with the surviving victims of the experiment against 9 living officials, and in 2012 the federal court dismissed the case that infected over

Remote monitoring tools, Sensors and wearable technology, Pharmacogenomics/genome sequencing are few of them. Haptic technology is the newest trend in medical field which let the doctor to diagnose and treat the patient with a less burden. Haptic is a tactile feedback technology which let the user to control the computer application and also to get the response
This paper reflects my observations and thoughts as a part of my clinical experience, shadowing a Nurse. I was assigned to RN Nick on unit 2400. This provided me a tremendous opportunity to be practical and learn new things about nursing.

effects technology had on children, and the results are laid out in this article. This article also talks about the parents’ response to these effect and possible solutions to the problem of the internet. This article will be beneficial to my research paper because it specifically talks about my topic. It highlights the negative effects of the internet on children, not just adolescents nor adults. This is important because it targets a different age group. It will talk about how technology and the
