Prompt 1

Clinical Use of Internet Sources

Prompt 2

The internet changing the scope of the Nurse

Consider this: prior to the internet, Nurses and Doctors were the end-all-be-all when it came to information on our health and health concerns. How has the internet changed that?  Have you, or someone you know, ever had an experience with suspect information obtained from a website? Have you encountered any patients or clients that have turned to the internet for information on their health rather than seeking help from a Nurse or Doctor?
