Planning Nursing Care I01:21

Planning Nursing Care I

5.7K
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...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

367
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

861
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Distribution

382
Drug distribution in the human body is influenced by several factors, including plasma protein concentration, body composition, blood flow, tissue-protein concentration, and tissue fluid pH. Among these, changes in plasma protein concentration and body composition due to aging significantly affect how drugs are distributed within the body. Specifically, aging is associated with a decrease in albumin levels by about 10% and an increase in α1-acid glycoprotein levels. These alterations are...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

395
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Gerontology
    • Workforce Development

    Background:

    • The global workforce is aging, presenting unique challenges and opportunities for employers.
    • Occupational and environmental health nurses (OEHNs) play a crucial role in supporting worker health and safety.
    • Proactive planning is essential to address the needs of an aging and multi-generational workforce.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide recommendations for occupational and environmental health nurses on improving workforce planning for an aging population.
    • To highlight the importance of integrating aging and multi-generational workforce considerations into existing nursing practices and training programs.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current occupational health programs and services.
    • Analysis of existing training modules for relevance to an aging workforce.
    • Identification of key issues related to multi-generational workforce dynamics.

    Main Results:

    • Existing programs and services may not adequately address the specific needs of older workers.
    • Current training often lacks content on aging-related health issues and multi-generational collaboration.
    • Opportunities exist to enhance planning by incorporating specialized knowledge and updated training.

    Conclusions:

    • Occupational and environmental health nurses can significantly improve workforce planning by assessing and adapting current offerings.
    • Integrating aging and multi-generational workforce issues into ongoing training is a critical step for OEHNs.
    • These enhancements will better prepare healthcare systems for the evolving demographics of the workforce.
