Due to the increasing availability and volume of data, especially from electronic health records, AI technology is expanding into all fields of nursing and medicine. As the health care system moves toward automation and computationally driven clinical decision-making, nurses play a vital role in bridging the gap between the technological output, the patient, and the health care team. We explore the nurses' role in translating AI-generated output to patients and identify considerations for ensuring informed consent and shared decision-making throughout the process. A brief review of AI technology and informed consent, an identification of power dynamics that underly informed consent, and descriptions of the role of the nurse in various relationships such as nurse-AI, nurse-patient, and patient-AI are covered. Ultimately, nurses and physicians bear the responsibility of upholding and safeguarding the right to informed choice, as it is a fundamental aspect of safe and ethical patient-centered health care.</p>","PeriodicalId":51121,"journal":{"name":"Mcn-The American Journal of Maternal-Child Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"78-85"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142900272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During pregnancy and birth, the ability to accurately predict risks and complications could enable earlier interventions and reduce adverse events. However, there are challenges and ethical considerations for implementing predictive models in perinatal care settings. We introduce major concepts in predictive analytics and describe application of predictive modeling to perinatal care topics such as fertility, preeclampsia, labor onset, vaginal birth after cesarean, uterine rupture, induction outcomes, postpartum hemorrhage, and postpartum mood disorders. Although some predictive models have achieved adequate accuracy (AUC 0.7-0.9), most require additional external validation across diverse populations and practice settings. Bias, particularly racial bias, remains a key limitation of current models. Nurses and advanced practice nurses, including nurse practitioners certified registered nurse anesthetists, and nurse-midwives, play a vital role in ensuring high-quality data collection and communicating predictive model outputs to clinicians and users of the health care system. Addressing the ethical challenges and limitations of predictive analytics is imperative to equitably translate these tools to support patient-centered perinatal care.</p>","PeriodicalId":51121,"journal":{"name":"Mcn-The American Journal of Maternal-Child Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"66-77"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12212750/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142900269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
