Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

5.9K
There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

1.3K
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Fixation and Sectioning

6.0K
Two basic types of preparation are used to visualize specimens with a light microscope: wet mounts and fixed specimens.
The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...

    Summary

    Patient information sheets for randomized controlled trials (RCT) often lack clarity on crucial details like anticipated benefits. While overall comprehensibility is high, specific elements require improvement for truly informed consent.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Trials
    • Informed Consent Process
    • Patient Education

    Background:

    • Patient information sheets (PIS) are vital for informed consent in clinical research.
    • Assessing the clarity of PIS in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is essential for ethical research conduct.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the clarity and comprehensibility of PIS for RCTs submitted to an Italian Ethics Committee in 2012.
    • To identify specific areas within PIS that may hinder informed consent.

    Main Methods:

    • A review of 107 PIS for RCTs involving adult subjects.
    • Two nursing-educated observers assessed PIS clarity using a five-point scale for various study components.
    • Evaluated clarity of information on study rationale, aims, procedures, randomization, placebo, blindness, benefits, risks, sponsorship, and researcher fees.

    Main Results:

    • 93% of PIS were deemed sufficiently comprehensible overall.
    • High clarity (≥87%) was found for aims, procedures, placebo, risks, and sponsorship.
    • Lower clarity (≤61%) was noted for researcher fees, randomization, study rationale, blindness, and particularly anticipated benefits (29%).

    Conclusions:

    • Many PIS fail to clearly communicate essential information, impacting the informed consent process, especially regarding benefits.
    • Nurses demonstrate reliable judgment in assessing PIS clarity.
    • Improvements in PIS content are needed to ensure patients fully understand trial details.
