Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...
Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice
  • Evidence-Based Practice
  • Healthcare Research

Background:

  • Advanced practice nurses (APNs) require strong research critique skills.
  • Translating research findings into bedside practice is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
  • Effective communication of emergency department (ED) care and instructions is vital for patient understanding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the research critique skills of advanced practice nurses.
  • To provide strategies for translating research findings into bedside nursing practice.
  • To review and critique a specific study on patient comprehension in the emergency department.

Main Methods:

  • Selecting a relevant topic and a specific research study for review.
  • Critically evaluating the methodology, results, and limitations of the chosen research paper.
  • Discussing the implications of the research findings for practical application in nursing.

Main Results:

  • The reviewed study by Engel et al. (in press) investigates patient awareness of their understanding of emergency department care and instructions.
  • Findings highlight potential gaps in patient comprehension, questioning whether patients recognize when they do not understand.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses must critically evaluate research to ensure its applicability to clinical settings.
  • Strategies are needed to bridge the gap between research and practice, improving patient education and understanding.
  • Enhancing APNs' ability to translate research supports evidence-based bedside care.
