Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis01:24

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...

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,...

Assessment of apical radial pulse

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation III: AED Use01:23

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation III: AED Use

Introduction to AEDAn Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electrical shock to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, leading to a loss of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. In such emergencies, time is of the essence, and using an AED, combined with Cardiopulmonary...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Implementing effective and efficient surgical skills curricula faces time and cost challenges.
  • A novel administrative structure was developed to address these constraints.
  • The structure aimed to enhance faculty buy-in, learner responsibility, and resource management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a successful administrative structure for a surgical skills curriculum.
  • To promote faculty accountability and learner responsibility.
  • To ensure efficient resource utilization in surgical education.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 14 American College of Surgery (ACS) modules in a postgraduate year 1 curriculum.
  • Incorporated independent and mentored practice sessions with peer feedback.
  • Implemented 2 progress and 1 final verification of proficiency (VOP) exams.
  • Assigned module leaders and co-instructors, with faculty orientation and instructional plans.
  • Tracked equipment, resource costs, and man-hours.

Main Results:

  • Achieved high faculty participation (98% attendance) and resident satisfaction (module ratings 4.22-4.89/5).
  • Reduced curriculum costs significantly to approximately $21,500 by utilizing existing equipment, avoiding $187,000 in new simulator purchases.
  • Projected year 2 budget set at $17,000.

Conclusions:

  • Resident and faculty buy-in are critical for new curriculum success.
  • Accountability for teaching and learning quality, alongside reasonable resource use, are essential drivers.
  • The described curriculum structure provides a model for achieving these critical elements in surgical skills training.
