Correct Answer:
Use of a 30-day event monitor
Rationale:
⚪A 30-day event monitor records cardiac rhythm continuously or when activated by the client, enabling detection of intermittent atrial fibrillation episodes.
⚪This device exemplifies informatics, as it collects and transmits data that can be analyzed by healthcare providers remotely.
⚪It supports long-term tracking of arrhythmias, which may not be captured during a routine ECG in the clinic.
⚪Informatics tools like event monitors provide real-time or stored data that can be uploaded into the client’s EHR.
⚪This promotes accuracy in diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient safety.
