The existence of appropriate academic data is definitely one of the biggest benefits for the healthcare industry. This information helps nurses and physicians to solve problems quickly and efficiently, deliver the best quality care to their patients, and analyze the results of treatments to use specific methods in the future. Talking about a certain hypothetical scenario in which a healthcare institution or a patient would benefit from the access to and application of data, it can be an example applicable to the contemporary situation in the world.
COVID-19 is a novel virus that effects different people in different ways; therefore, it is very hard to predict how a specific organism will react to this illness. For instance, there is a large amount if evidence that coronavirus can contribute to the worsening of the overall health condition for individuals with diabetes due to disruptions, such as stress and changes in lifestyle and diet (Hartmann-Boyce et al., 2020). Therefore, it is significant to possess this knowledge in order to make appropriate decisions regarding treatment.
In case nurses have access to innovative researches and learn how to implement them in their operations, they will have all the power to save many lives that are affected by COVID-19. These professionals should remember that their role does not only require them to take blood tests and emotionally support the patient but also to help doctors deliver the most appropriate treatment and prescribe the most suitable medicine (Giddens, 2019).
Thus, having access to the data about coronavirus and diabetes can help nurses to create a better understanding of how to treat patients and what points to take into consideration during the process of care. This goal can be achieved by priding professionals with the newest materials and encouraging them to educate themselves.
