Hospital-based applications for clinical decision support include:

1. Cardiac ischemia
2. Decreasing fluid given in resuscitation efforts
3. Appropriate tidal volume and plateau pressure monitoring in acute respiratory distress syn-drome
4. Decreasing exacerbations in asthma patients
a. 1 and 2
b. 1, 2 and 3
c. 1, 3, and 4
d. 1, 2, 3, and 4

ANS: C
Clinical decision support has also resulted in decreased unnecessary hospital admissions for inap-propriately diagnosed cardiac ischemia, appropriately decreased tidal volume, and more con-sistent monitoring of plateau pressure in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and decreased exacerbations in asthma patients.
