An abstract of a study by Thomas and Zuzelo describing the influence of technologies on registered nurse practice and the characteristics of technologies that encourage or hinder correct use is presented. Findings show that participants identified that equipment does improve patient care outcomes and enhances nursing care delivery by reducing time and increasing productivity. Nurses were concerned about discrepancies between actual procedures versus recommended or required procedures.
