What the research says
A 2026 scoping review of 15 studies in the Journal of Clinical Nursing found large language models are useful for organizing text, matching standard terminology and drafting goals and interventions, but that privacy, hallucination and bias remain problems and they cannot replace clinical judgment. A scenario study comparing ChatGPT, Gemini and DeepSeek found moderate-to-high quality plans that were still incomplete and written at a college reading level.
How to use one well
- Do your own assessment and pick your priority diagnosis first. Then compare it to what the tool suggests.
- Check every intervention has a rationale you could defend to your instructor.
- Ask your instructor whether AI drafts are allowed for the assignment.
One rule before any of these
Never paste real patient details from clinical into any study or AI tool. Change names, dates, ages and rare details, or make the case up. Your school and your clinical site both have policies on this.
