Prevention of Further Absorption of Poison01:14

Prevention of Further Absorption of Poison

In cases of acute poisoning, the primary objective is to prevent further absorption of the toxic substance into the body. Immediate interventions using various decontamination techniques targeting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can achieve this. Decontamination is crucial to prevent poison from entering the systemic circulation, which involves washing affected areas with water and mild soap and removing contaminated clothing. Once external decontamination is done, attention must be turned to...
Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...
Standard Precaution01:26

Standard Precaution

Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...
Drug Accumulation During Multiple Dosing: Repetitive IV Injections01:21

Drug Accumulation During Multiple Dosing: Repetitive IV Injections

Calculating drug dosage and accumulation in multiple-dose regimens is crucial for achieving therapeutic efficacy while avoiding toxicity. This involves determining the plasma drug concentrations over time to optimize dosing schedules. The principle of superposition is fundamental in this process, allowing for the prediction of drug concentration in plasma following multiple doses based on single-dose data.The principle of superposition asserts that the plasma concentration-time curves from...
Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios01:26

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...
Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes01:22

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes

Drug delivery methods like oral inhalation, nasal sprays, transdermal patches, eye drops, intravitreal injection,  and rectal administration provide localized effects with reduced toxicity.
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
Transdermal patches transport drugs through the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Nurses often prefer traditional injection sites like the dorsogluteal, despite evidence favoring the ventrogluteal site. Overcoming this requires addressing familiarity with anatomy and evidence to improve patient care through evidence-based practice.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Evidence-Based Practice
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Evidence-based practice integrates research with clinical expertise for patient care decisions.
  • Disseminating new evidence that challenges traditional methods is a significant challenge in healthcare professions.
  • Barriers exist in translating research evidence into clinical practice, particularly in nursing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine nurses' attitudes towards evidence that contradicts traditional practices, specifically concerning intramuscular injection sites.
  • To highlight the continued use of the dorsogluteal injection site despite known complications.
  • To promote the adoption of the ventrogluteal injection site by addressing knowledge gaps.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current evidence on the dorsogluteal and ventrogluteal intramuscular injection sites.
  • Analysis of barriers to adopting evidence-based practices in nursing.
  • Focus on nurses' familiarity with anatomical landmarks and published evidence.

Main Results:

  • The dorsogluteal injection site remains a preferred choice for intramuscular injections among practicing nurses and educators.
  • Significant evidence highlights complications associated with the dorsogluteal site.
  • Nurses' lack of familiarity with the ventrogluteal site's anatomy and benefits hinders its widespread use.

Conclusions:

  • There is a need to bridge the gap between research evidence and clinical practice regarding intramuscular injection site selection.
  • Educating nurses on the ventrogluteal site's anatomical landmarks and evidence-based benefits is crucial.
  • Integrating evidence-based knowledge on injection sites can enhance patient care and safety.
