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...

Planning Nursing Care II

A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...

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...

Area of Science:

Gerontology
Nursing Home Care
Healthcare Staffing

Background:

Nursing homes face challenges in providing adequate feeding assistance.
Federal regulations permit trained non-nursing staff, such as dining assistants (DAs), to support feeding care.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of the dining assistant (DA) federal regulation.
To extend previous research on the impact of DAs on feeding assistance in nursing homes.

Main Methods:

Observational study conducted pre-, during, and post-implementation of the DA program.
Data analysis at 12 months post-implementation to assess sustainability.
Comparison of care quality and time spent assisting residents by DAs and nurse aides.

Main Results:

Dining assistants (DAs) significantly increased time spent assisting residents with feeding.
The quality of feeding assistance provided by DAs was comparable to that of nurse aides.
The DA program demonstrated sustainability, with continued operation at 12 months post-implementation.

Conclusions:

Dining assistant (DA) programs are a feasible strategy to enhance feeding assistance in nursing homes.
Augmenting nursing home staffing with DAs improves care quality within resource constraints.
The DA model offers a sustainable solution for addressing feeding assistance needs in long-term care settings.
