Acute Coronary Syndrome V: Nursing Management01:26

Acute Coronary Syndrome V: Nursing Management

Nursing Assessment:Nursing management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) involves taking the patient's history, focusing on primary complaints such as chest pain, dyspnea, and excessive sweating (diaphoresis), as well as other symptoms like back or jaw pain, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, dizziness, and fatigue. The nurse also reviews the patient's history of cardiac events, risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, family history, and current medications.In the objective assessment,...

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...
Nursing Clinical Information System01:27

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:
Respiratory Assessment: Purpose and Indications01:19

Respiratory Assessment: Purpose and Indications

Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

SBAR II: Application of SBAR

SBAR is an effective communication tool used by healthcare professionals to communicate patient information accurately. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. For a better understanding, an example is given below.

S: "Hello, Dr. Smith. This is Jane, RN, from the Med Surg unit. I am calling to tell you about Ms. White in Room 210, who is experiencing increased pain and redness at her incision site. Her recent...
Acute Respiratory Failure-IV01:23

Acute Respiratory Failure-IV

Respiratory failure can manifest suddenly or gradually, characterized by a rapid decline in PaO2 and a rapid rise in PaCO2. This situation indicates a severe respiratory problem that may quickly become a life-threatening emergency. One of the early signs of hypoxemic Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) is a change in mental status due to the brain's sensitivity to oxygen levels and changes in acid-base balance. Symptoms such as restlessness, confusion, and agitation suggest inadequate oxygen...

Summary

New nursing terms, critical incident nursing diagnosis (CIND), intervention, and control, are proposed to improve communication and care during life-threatening events. These terms aim to enhance the rapid response system (RRS) and patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Healthcare Informatics
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Current nursing terminologies are inadequate for critical, life-threatening situations.
  • Standardized terminology is crucial for effective communication and timely intervention in emergencies.
  • The rapid response system (RRS) requires precise language to manage acute patient events.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and propose novel nursing terminology for critical events.
  • To define critical incident nursing diagnosis (CIND), intervention, and control.
  • To advocate for the integration of this terminology into existing nursing classifications and the RRS.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review encompassing diverse disciplines.
  • Analysis of research studies and meta-analyses.
  • Incorporation of personal clinical experience.

Main Results:

  • Existing nursing classifications (NANDA-I, NIC, NOC) lack terms for critical incidents.
  • This terminology gap hinders effective communication and patient care during RRS activation.
  • The proposed terms address the specific needs of managing life-threatening conditions.

Conclusions:

  • NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC should incorporate CIND, critical incident nursing intervention, and control.
  • The RRS must adopt standardized terminology for critical events.
  • Refined classifications will enable research into the efficacy of new terms and improve patient care.
