Nursing Implementation

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.

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.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted with 55 mothers at the University of Western Ontario.
    • Data collected focused on mothers' views regarding the importance of nurses versus doctors in well-baby care.

    Main Results:

    • Nurses were perceived by mothers as an equally important source of information as doctors.
    • Nurses received higher ratings than doctors for telephone advice.
    • Younger and first-time mothers showed less positive perceptions of nurses compared to older and experienced mothers.
