Nursing Evaluation

Nursing 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.

Nursing Assessment

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...

Obedience

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

SBAR I: Understanding the Concept

SBAR I: Understanding the Concept

Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...

The Professional Nurse

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Area of Science:

Nursing
Neurology
Patient Safety

Background:

The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) assesses impaired consciousness.
Challenges exist in accurately completing certain GCS aspects.
Ensuring accurate GCS performance is vital for patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate nurses' self-confidence and attitudes toward the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).
To identify factors influencing nurses' GCS confidence and attitudes.

Main Methods:

A descriptive correlational study was conducted with 114 Registered Nurses (RNs) in Singapore.
Data were collected using questionnaires assessing demographics, attitudes, and self-confidence regarding the GCS.

Main Results:

Clinical discipline, nursing seniority, and positive attitudes towards the GCS significantly predicted nurses' confidence.
Experience in neuroscience settings and higher self-confidence scores influenced nurses' attitudes toward the GCS.

Conclusions:

Significant variations in GCS attitudes and confidence exist among nurses with different demographics.
Educational and mentoring interventions are recommended to enhance GCS proficiency and reduce patient safety risks.
