Feedback
1 Globalization includes the international exchange of ideas, languages, peoples, and popular culture, and eases the exchange of health-care information.
2 Globalization does not ensure equal distribution of the benefits and costs of health care. Manufacturers take advantage of cheap labor, and workers are not always afforded the same protections from one nation to the next.
3 Globalization does not ease the transition of foreign educated nurses into U.S. employment. Pathways for becoming a nurse differ greatly across nations, as do regulations guiding nursing practice.
4 The global demand for nurses exceeds supply. An increase of 712,000 nurses is predicted to be needed by 2020 to meet health care demand in the U.S. alone.

Rationale: A wireless device is an advantage for a client's isolation room. Wireless technology may be used at the bedside to facilitate data entry at the point-of-care. However, disadvantages of wireless devices include the potential for data interception, less available memory, and smaller screens.
