Discussion:
Computers on Wheels, or c.o.w.s are being used more and more at the bedside to help nurses record and collect data, and document their care. A quick "google" search of the topic yielded over 800,000 results!
One of my nursing collegues reported that while point of care mobile devices have become more functional nurses must become more adept at using them. She reported an instance of inadvertently insulting a patient who mistook the term "cow" as a reference to the patient's weight-- and not to the computer on wheels!
