PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Methods of Documentation III: PIE

Methods of Documentation III: PIE

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Summary

Nursing students and faculty have differing views on using Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) in clinical settings. While recognizing PDA benefits, students prefer not to be required to own them.

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Health Informatics
Medical Technology

Background:

Effective point-of-care information access is crucial for quality patient care in nursing.
Personalized Digital Assistants (PDAs) offer immediate access to extensive medical information within clinical settings.
Integrating information competency into higher education curricula necessitates exploring PDA utilization in nursing programs.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the utilization of PDAs by nursing faculty and students.
To identify discrepancies in PDA adoption and perceived benefits between faculty and students.
To explore strategies for overcoming barriers to PDA use and ownership in nursing education.

Main Methods:

A survey was administered to nursing faculty and students within a specific nursing program.

Data collection focused on current PDA usage patterns and attitudes towards ownership.

Analysis aimed to highlight differences in PDA adoption between the two groups.

Main Results:

A significant disparity was observed in the use of PDAs between nursing faculty and students.
Students acknowledged the advantages of PDAs for clinical information retrieval.
Despite recognizing benefits, students expressed reluctance towards mandatory PDA ownership.

Conclusions:

There is a notable gap in PDA adoption and attitudes between nursing faculty and students.
Addressing student concerns regarding PDA ownership is essential for broader implementation.
Strategies are being developed to mitigate barriers and encourage PDA integration in nursing education.
