The nurse is caring for a client who has a wound that is not healing appropriately. The nurse plans to check the clinical decision support (CDS) system and expects that the CDS will:
 
  1. Point the nurse in the next direction.
   2. Allow the nurse to view other options.
   3. Make the decision for the next step.
   4. Facilitate available medical research.

2. Allow the nurse to view other options.

Rationale:
A CDS system will offer options from experts for the client's situation. It remains up to the nurse to make a final decision, but the information obtained can be useful in assisting the nurse to select other options of care. The system will not point the nurse in any particular direction; the nurse views the information and determines the next step to take. The system will not make the decision for the nurse. The CDS system is a system that assists the nurse with nursing decisions, not medical decisions or information.
