Identify one of the resources at the CDC Wonder site above and describe how a nurse

might use this information in practice.

The CDC Wonder site furnishes us with a few assets that attendants can use. One of thess

assets medical attendants may utilize in their day to day nursing practice is diabetes avoidance

and the executives. As medical caretakers, we need to instruct our patients on counteraction and

the board. It is very disturbing that 7.3 million of Americans are strolling around without

knowing they are diabetic. Legitimate diabetes the executives is fundamental in forestalling

diabetes-related intricacies.

How might nurses utilizing telehealth benefit from these resources?

An attendant can instruct somebody with diabetes on a tight eating routine, exercise, and

prescription routine. A medical attendant can likewise illuminate a pre-diabetic patient on diet

and exercise for avoidance and what they should pay special mind to assuming that they have

created diabetes. The CDC site is extremely instructive and gives basic rules for maintaining

optimal health. A nurse might utilize telehealth to benefit from these resources by educating

patients through technology while staying safely at home during this pandemic. Diabetes is a

high-risk category for contracting Covid-19; telehealth is a great safe way for nurses to help their

patients without seeing them physically. They can provide answers to questions and educate

them on any concerns they may be having. “Telehealth lessens the movement trouble on patients

for meeting, bears the cost of an opportune answer for talk about upsetting aftereffects, start

intercessions, and empower conceivable treatment increments and changes" (Paterson et al.,

2020). As indicated by the current week's example, "Development is seen by many disciplines

and organizations as an essential component for arriving at objectives” (Chamberlain College of


Nursing, 2021). Nursing innovations have been used for several years. As nurses, we need to

"keep up with the times" to provide our patients with the most up-to-date, optimal care.

Address what you find innovative about the link

What I find innovative about the link is that it provides us with the most current health

information at the tips of our fingers. Anyone can go on the CDC wonder site and find out any

health information or facts that they are looking for. Knowledge is power, and having quick

access to it is essential. One of my nursing innovative ideas was a new electronic translator for a

floor I was working on. When we do not have an English speaking patients, it is sometimes

difficult to communicate their needs. There is a a new technology that can use an iPad and easily

translate for the patients and nurses right on the spot. Communication is essential for nurses to

provide optimal care for their patients. I feel technology is both innovative and crucial in

building a proper nurse-patient rapport and relationship.
