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...

Operant Conditioning Intervention

Operant Conditioning Intervention

Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

Restorative Care

Restorative Care

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

SBAR I: Understanding the Concept

SBAR I: Understanding the Concept

Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...

Survey Safety

Survey Safety

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Area of Science:

Nursing
Healthcare Management
Patient Safety

Background:

Physical restraints are used in hospitals to manage patient safety.
Nurses' decision-making processes regarding restraint use are complex and multifaceted.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the variations and complexities in nurses' decision-making regarding the initiation, maintenance, and termination of physical restraints.
To identify factors influencing nurses' decisions about physical restraint use.

Main Methods:

Qualitative research design.
Semistructured interviews conducted with registered nurses on medical-surgical units.
Data collected from nurses at a midsized hospital in the Midwest.

Main Results:

Nurses readily recalled experiences with patients in restraints, describing care trajectories centered on safety.
The initiation of restraint use was frequently attributed to other departments, shifts, or nurses.
A complex interplay of patient, nurse, family, healthcare worker, and organizational factors influences restraint-related decisions.

Conclusions:

A comprehensive understanding of restraint decision-making intricacies is essential.
Clinical nurse specialists can leverage this understanding to tailor education and influence policy.
Enhanced knowledge can empower nurses to serve as role models and reduce the incidence of physical restraint use in hospital settings.
