Planning Nursing Care II

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,...

Planning Nursing Care I

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 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.

Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Emergency Preparedness
Geriatric Care

Background:

Effective disaster preparedness is crucial for nursing homes to ensure resident safety.
Assessing the actual capacity of nursing homes for evacuation or shelter-in-place during disasters is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate nursing homes' capabilities for disaster evacuation and shelter-in-place.
To determine the preparedness capacity of nursing homes.

Main Methods:

A 27-question survey was administered to nursing home administrators in California, Florida, and Georgia.
Data on disaster plans, drills, resources (food, water, generators), and evacuation methods were collected.
Statistical analyses, including t tests, chi2 tests, and probit regression, were used to compare respondents and non-respondents and identify preparedness factors.

Main Results:

Nearly all surveyed nursing homes conduct annual disaster drills and can shelter-in-place for at least two days.
Most facilities have generators and plan to evacuate residents to affiliated corporate facilities.
However, only 55% use templates for disaster plans, and 74% discuss plans with emergency management officials.

Conclusions:

While most nursing homes demonstrate basic disaster preparedness, such as drills and shelter-in-place capabilities, significant gaps exist.
Reliance on potentially unavailable resources during large-scale disasters highlights a critical need for enhanced preparedness strategies.
Further improvements in formal planning and collaboration with emergency management are recommended.
