Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

2.9K
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

1.9K
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Nutrition Science
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Poor food intake is a prevalent issue among residents in long-term care (LTC) facilities.
  • The mealtime experience significantly influences food consumption in this population.
  • Multicomponent interventions may offer greater benefits than single strategies for improving meal intake.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify feasible and effective interventions for enhancing the mealtime experience in long-term care.
  • To summarize existing studies on mealtime interventions in LTC settings.
  • To inform the development of multicomponent interventions for improving resident nutrition.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review was conducted, analyzing 58 studies.
  • Studies described and/or evaluated interventions aimed at improving the mealtime experience in LTC.
  • Included a range of study designs, with some randomized controlled trials.

Main Results:

  • Multicomponent interventions, addressing aspects like food service, dining environment, and staff education, appear feasible.
  • These interventions target multiple levels, including residents and staff.
  • A variety of outcomes were measured across the reviewed studies.

Conclusions:

  • Multicomponent interventions targeting the mealtime experience in long-term care are feasible.
  • Further rigorous research is needed to confirm the effectiveness, implementation, and scalability of these interventions.
  • Optimizing the mealtime experience is key to addressing poor food intake in LTC residents.
