Planning Nursing Care I

Planning Nursing Care I

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

The Professional Nurse

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management

Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

Critical Thinking I

Critical Thinking I

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career with...

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities II

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities II

Establishing a secure, collaborative nurse-patient relationship is crucial for delivering high-quality care. This relationship, founded on trust, respect, and honesty, enhances the patient's comfort and willingness to share vital health information. For example, a nurse who listens actively and without judgment provides clear information about health conditions and treatment options and respects patient decisions, which builds a trusting relationship.
Communication between nurses and patients...

Context:

Neurologically critical patients present complex challenges requiring specialized nursing knowledge.
Effective management is crucial to prevent complications and improve patient prognosis.

Purpose:

To outline essential nursing knowledge for managing neurologically critical patients.
To detail methods for intracranial pressure monitoring and nursing care for intracranial hypertension.
To establish a nursing protocol based on Virginia Henderson's model for these patients.

Summary:

The article discusses intracranial pressure monitoring techniques, emphasizing ventricular drainage and associated nursing care.
It presents a nursing protocol for patients at risk of intracranial hypertension, structured around seven fundamental needs.
Nursing diagnoses (NANDA) and interventions are defined for each need to prevent cerebral ischemia following primary brain injury.

Impact:

Highlights the vital role of nurses in evaluating, preventing, and managing risks in neurologically critical patients.
Aims to enhance patient recovery and ensure quality healthcare delivery.
Emphasizes the importance of nursing interventions in preventing secondary brain injury and improving outcomes after cranial encephalic trauma (TCE).
