Development of nursing CAI in the administration: nursing daily hospital problems

Since the nurse emerged as a qualified professional to attend human beings, the role which always characterized his/her action was assistance. Already since the foundation of the first nursing school, teaching aimed at developing the student to dispense nursing care necessary for the patient's assistance. When the nurse started to perform their activities in nosocomial and community institutions, the need for someone who would be responsible for the organization, coordination and control of nursing personnel and the Nursing Unit itself, in short, someone who would head the services became apparent. At present, the professional role of the nurse is changing regarding his/her overall assistance to the patient, caring directly, determining and/or carrying out nursing assistance necessary for the patient's health, maintenance or recovery. In this manner, it is necessary for nurses to use tools of administration science such as planning, decision making, and planned changes in order to be able to provide the nursing assistance with quality. Thus, this study aims at helping the development of the nurse's interest in computer during the teaching-learning process, motivating the search for knowledge in computerized sources. We intended to offer the opportunity for discussion and reflection on problems of nosocomial nursing practice, favoring interchange of theory and practice. The system is being developing using ToolBook Live Software to be run in Windows environment. The content of the subject allow the user (student or professional nursing) to choose the most correct answers to questions in the knowledge area. In this case, to discuss nursing administration issues through the study of practical situations is possible, such as the opportunity the verify the performance in tests.
