Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

Assessment of apical radial pulse

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.

Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

Area of Science:

Surgical Services
Trauma Surgery
Acute Care Surgery

Background:

Impending shortage of trauma surgeons due to attrition and low resident interest.
Increasing trauma admissions and merging trauma services with acute care surgery increase workload.
The 80-hour resident workweek requirement exacerbates staffing challenges in trauma centers.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss the utilization of advanced practice nurses in trauma and acute care surgery.
To evaluate how a formal rounding process impacts nursing and physician satisfaction.
To assess the effect of a formal rounding process on patient length of stay.

Main Methods:

Review of advanced practice nurse utilization in trauma and acute care surgery settings.
Implementation and assessment of a formal rounding process within a trauma service.
Analysis of nursing and physician satisfaction metrics.
Evaluation of patient length of stay data.

Main Results:

Advanced practice nurses are crucial for addressing patient coverage gaps in trauma services.
Formal rounding processes significantly improve nursing and physician satisfaction.
Implementation of formal rounding correlates with a reduced length of stay for patients.

Conclusions:

Advanced practice nurses are vital for maintaining adequate patient coverage in high-demand surgical services.
Formalized rounding protocols enhance healthcare team satisfaction and operational efficiency.
Integrating advanced practice providers and structured processes optimizes trauma care delivery.
