Nursing Implementation

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.

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,...

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

The nursing process is the core of practice for every registered nurse to deliver holistic, patient-focused care. The following are the five steps in the nursing process.

National Nursing Organizations II

National Nursing Organizations II

Nursing organizations play a vital role in representing nurses working in specialized clinical settings, such as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).
The AACN emphasizes a healthy work environment through six standards to achieve an optimal patient outcome. The standards are appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, collaboration, authentic leadership, effective communication, and decision-making. In addition, AACN provides certification programs, webinars, journals, and...

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Pediatric Nursing
Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

Practical nursing programs in Kansas, particularly the Kansas City metropolitan area, face a deficit in pediatric clinical experiences.
This gap limits students' exposure to essential pediatric patient care scenarios.
There is a recognized need to integrate robust pediatric training into nursing curricula.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the impact of incorporating a pediatric simulation activity into the practical nurse core curriculum.
To evaluate the effectiveness of simulation in enhancing nursing students' knowledge of pediatric care.
To assess the influence of simulation on student confidence and satisfaction levels in pediatric nursing.

Main Methods:

A quantitative research study was designed to assess the implementation of a simulation activity.
The study focused on the practical nurse core curriculum.
Data was collected to measure changes in knowledge, confidence, and satisfaction.

Main Results:

Implementation of the simulation activity positively impacted student knowledge regarding pediatric care.
Student confidence in managing pediatric patients significantly increased post-simulation.
Satisfaction levels among students participating in the simulation were notably high.

Conclusions:

Pediatric simulation is a valuable tool for enhancing practical nursing education in Kansas.
Simulation can effectively bridge the gap caused by limited clinical pediatric experiences.
Integrating simulation into the curriculum improves student preparedness and confidence for pediatric nursing roles.
