Nursing Assessment

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...

Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting

Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting

Documentation in long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings is crucial for ensuring continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive care for patients. Each setting has its specific documentation processes and tools:

Nursing Evaluation

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data from the...

Area of Science:

Geriatric Medicine
Health Informatics
Telehealth

Background:

Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is crucial for elderly care but often limited by location.
Existing systems may lack integrated decision support or remote access capabilities.
Need for efficient, accessible tools to support geriatric care delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel system for remote comprehensive geriatric assessment.
To evaluate the system's reliability, safety, efficiency, and clinical appeal.
To demonstrate the utility of web-based technology and clinical decision support in geriatric care.

Main Methods:

A structured assessment using the interRAI Acute Care tool administered by trained nurse assessors.
Web-based software for data entry, processing, and clinical decision support.
Online review and reporting by geriatricians, accessible via the Internet.

Main Results:

The system facilitates remote CGA, enabling online review and reporting by geriatricians.
Authorized clinicians can access assessments and reports from various locations.
Preliminary evaluations indicate the system is reliable, safe, efficient, and well-received by clinicians.

Conclusions:

The described system effectively extends comprehensive geriatric assessment to distant locations.
Web-based technology and decision support enhance the delivery and accessibility of geriatric care.
The system shows promise for supporting both remote consultations and inpatient geriatric care.
