Your nurse manager has asked you to form a small team to explore incorporating patient care technology in the care of patients with pulmonary disease. He has asked that your team prepare a presentation for the nurses on the following topics: asthma and COPD.

Discuss at least two patient-care technologies that would assist in the care of patients suffering from asthma and COPD. Please include in-text citations to support your response.

In your responses to your peers, describe some factors you think are most important for the clinical nurse to know in treating these patients. Would one of these factors contribute more than the others in making the chosen patient-care technology transition easier?
