Summary
This study proposes an online educational program to improve the management of deteriorating patients, addressing the critical
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Patient Safety
- Clinical Skills Development
Background:
- International concerns exist regarding the management of deteriorating patients and the 'failure to rescue' phenomenon.
- Current responses often focus on medical emergency teams, neglecting the education of frontline healthcare providers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a funded proposal for an online, evidence-based educational program.
- The program aims to enhance the management of deteriorating patients.
Main Methods:
- A mixed-methods, triangulated convergent design will be employed across four phases.
- Phase 1: Assess nursing students' team abilities in managing deteriorating patients.
- Phases 2-4: Develop, test, refine, evaluate, and disseminate an interactive, web-based educational program.
Main Results:
- This section is not applicable as the abstract describes a proposal, not completed results.
Conclusions:
- The project seeks to improve knowledge and skills in managing deteriorating patients.
- A contemporary, evidence-based online training program will be produced to enhance team performance.

01:30Heart Failure VII: Nursing Interventions
The first step in nursing management of a patient with heart failure involves thoroughly assessing the patient's medical history.Subjective Data: Obtain the patient's medical history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, myocardial infarction, and symptoms like dyspnea, orthopnea, and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea.Objective Data: Conduct a physical examination to identify findings such as jugular vein distention, pulmonary crackles, tachycardia, murmurs, peripheral edema, and vital signs,...
01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:15Nursing 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.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...
