Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention01:30

Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention

Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed.
Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II01:30

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
Nursing Clinical Information System01:27

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Nursing Diagnosis01:22

Nursing Diagnosis

Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
The nursing diagnosis focuses on evidence-based...
Pulmonary Function Tests01:25

Pulmonary Function Tests

Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs)
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
PFTs involve using a spirometer, 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...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nursing
  • School Health
  • Public Health Interventions

Background:

  • Chronic early school absence (preschool-3rd grade) is linked to academic failure.
  • School nurses and school-based health centers (SBHCs) can improve student health and attendance.
  • Nursing strategies to reduce early school absence are under-researched.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a nursing intervention aimed at decreasing chronic early school absence in K-3 elementary students and a Head Start program.
  • To evaluate the intervention's impact on student attendance rates.

Main Methods:

  • A Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) used telephone, school clinic, and home visits to engage families of chronically absent students.
  • Intervention implemented in two elementary schools (K-3, N=449) and one Head Start program (N=130).
  • Aggregate percentage attendance was compared between Year 1 and Year 2, analyzed by grade level and school, against district data.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant increases in attendance were observed from Year 1 to Year 2 at the elementary school level (p < .05).
  • No statistically significant attendance increase was found at the Head Start program level.
  • Study details student demographics, contact types, and reasons for absence, including sick child and medical diagnoses.

Conclusions:

  • Targeted nursing interventions, particularly through Family Nurse Practitioners, can improve school attendance in elementary grades.
  • The effectiveness may vary across different early education settings, such as Head Start programs.
  • Further research is needed to explore and refine strategies for reducing chronic absenteeism in diverse student populations.
