Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on will technology hinder or magnify the gap between rich and poor in the future Paper must be at least 1500 words. Please, no plagiarized work! This research tells that most of the people who have the technology access are those who are highly educated and this is especially the case in the developing countries. They recognize the benefits of technology and understand the trend in technological changes which happen frequently and require people with academic knowledge to keep up with these changes. The technological changes occurring in, for example, the internet require a high understanding of these changes, changes in software as well as hardware and which remain outdated and not helpful at all. This knowledge is mostly for the people who have acquired the higher education because higher education leads to higher and in-depth understanding and analysis. Higher education is not as cheap as the provision of basic education and it is not therefore available to a majority of the poor people. Only very few poor people can afford to get higher education and they do so with scholarships and hence the population of the people who get to know or even understand the changes in technology which are becoming more and more complex continue to reduce and it is only the rich people for that matter. As long as there is a disparity in access to higher education between the rich and the poor, there will continue to be a disparity in the technology between these two groups of people as well. Income level also contributes to the technological gap which is also referred to as the digital gap between the rich and the poor. Technology requires a lot of money and as it continues to be improved and changes made, more money continues to be demanded by it and this narrows down to the income of the technology users. The technological changes also demand to hire people to enable keeping up with these changes.

Significance of the use of Technology and Informatics for the Development and Structure of Knowledge

According to Killeen and King (2007), the use of technology and informatics will enable interdisciplinary communication. In the contemporary society, individuals from different specialties and technology will offer nursing care and this will help make the individual contributions of these people harmonious and complementary. In addition, technology will help in the efficient documentation, management and processing of data and information. On another level, it will provide quick access to the documented data and information in order to aid in making nursing care decisions. It will provide a convenient framework for evaluating nursing interventions.

An example of an instance where informatics can help in the development and structure of knowledge is in electronic medical recording. Electronic medical records avails a comprehensive medical history of a patient from which healthcare providers can view and use the information documented by healthcare providers who have attended to the patient in the past.

Ethics

In tackling the PICO question, there will be a need to ensure privacy and confidentiality of information that participants will provide. Disclosing or letting the information leak to unintended persons can end up in undesirable outcomes due to its inappropriate use. In addition, it will be imperative to uphold patient safety because nursing has a mandate not to cause harm to patients. The research endeavor will seek to contribute uniquely to the practice of nursing (Simpson, 2006).

A Nursing Experience that was Difficult from an Ethical Viewpoint

I once encountered a patient who had been involved in a gruesome road accident. After a few days of hospitalization and continued examination, we realized that the accident had paralyzed the patient. After sharing the information with the patient’s family, the family pled with us not to tell the patient the prognosis because they believed it would affect him. The ethical dilemma was deciding whether to grant the family’s plea or to honor the patient’s right to know the outcomes of our examination. Although we managed to convince the family that we would help the patient to handle the truth and start physiotherapy to rehabilitate his mobility, the dilemma was difficult to resolve.

Systematization of interdisciplinary communication is one of the significance of technology use to nursing knowledge development and structure. Ethical consideration is crucial in the delivery of nursing care.
