Critical Thinking I01:24

Critical Thinking I

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career with...
Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis01:10

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters assessment...

Nursing 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.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data from the...
Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
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:

  • Medical Education
  • Patient Safety
  • Clinical Skills

Background:

  • Early Warning Scoring Systems (EWSS) are internationally implemented to detect patient deterioration.
  • Early identification of deteriorating patients is critical for patient safety.
  • Effective teaching and skill development in EWSS utilization are essential for nursing students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the competence of student nurses in utilizing Early Warning Scoring Systems.
  • To examine how EWSS impact the development of clinical decision-making skills in student nurses.
  • To contribute to the ongoing debate regarding the effectiveness of EWSS in nursing education.

Main Methods:

  • Exploration of student nurse competence in EWSS.
  • Discussion of three clinical decision-making models.
  • Analysis of EWSS's influence on skill development.

Main Results:

  • Student nurses' competence in EWSS requires further investigation.
  • EWSS implementation may impede the development of essential clinical decision-making skills.
  • The interpretation and utilization of EWSS present challenges for novice practitioners.

Conclusions:

  • The introduction of EWSS may inadvertently hinder student nurses' ability to identify and manage patient deterioration.
  • Rethinking the integration of EWSS into nursing curricula is necessary to foster robust clinical decision-making skills.
  • Further research is needed to optimize the teaching and application of EWSS for improved patient outcomes.
