Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
Nursing Ethical Principles II01:27

Nursing Ethical Principles II

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's cancer...
Planning Nursing Care I01:21

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...
Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...

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:

  • Health Services Research
  • Oncology Nursing
  • Healthcare Economics

Background:

  • Healthcare decision-makers face increasing choices regarding new treatments and their associated resource implications.
  • Evaluating the adoption of novel chemotherapy protocols requires understanding their impact on nursing workload and costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the nursing workload associated with administering alternative chemotherapy protocols.
  • To identify nursing tasks and their time requirements as a driver of healthcare costs.
  • To provide data for predicting nursing time needs for chemotherapy administration.

Main Methods:

  • Focus groups with chemotherapy nurses and surveys of nurse unit managers were conducted in six Australian chemotherapy centers.
  • Data collection focused on ascertaining the time required for chemotherapy-related tasks and identifying sources of variability.
  • Four key task types were identified: patient education, patient assessment, administration, and patient communication.

Main Results:

  • Patient education averaged 48 minutes (first visit) and 18.5 minutes (subsequent visits).
  • Patient assessment, administration, and communication required 20.3, 23, and 24.2 minutes, respectively.
  • Each patient received an average of 3.3 hours of staff time, including 1.7 hours of direct contact.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing time is a significant factor in the cost of chemotherapy administration.
  • Quantifying nursing workload allows for better prediction of resource needs for new chemotherapy protocols.
  • This research supports informed healthcare decision-making regarding treatment adoption and resource management.
