Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis01:10

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.9K
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...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.3K
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...

Errors occurring during blood pressure monitoring

1.8K
Blood pressure monitoring is a crucial clinical procedure in diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions. Despite its significance, the accuracy of blood pressure measurements can be compromised by multiple factors, potentially leading to either falsely high or low readings. These inaccuracies are critical as they can significantly impact patient care. So, it is vital to understand these challenges deeply and adopt strategic approaches to minimize errors.
Several factors...

Critical Thinking I01:24

Critical Thinking I

5.9K
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...

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists01:30

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists

896
Cognitive enhancers, also known as "smart drugs," are substances used to enhance memory, mental alertness, and concentration. These can be natural or synthetic and improve cognition in conditions like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Some common examples include caffeine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, modafinil, arecoline, donepezil, vortioxetine, and piracetam. These enhancers work on the principle of synaptic plasticity and altered circuit function.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Medical Reasoning

Background:

  • Diagnostic errors persist in medicine despite technological advancements.
  • Cognitive psychology offers insights into human reasoning and decision-making.

Observation:

  • Two reasoning modes exist: fast, automatic (heuristics) and slow, analytical.
  • Heuristics, while often efficient, can lead to errors when misapplied.

Findings:

  • Cognitive errors stem from the misapplication of heuristics in clinical practice.
  • These errors contribute significantly to diagnostic challenges in medicine.

Implications:

  • Understanding cognitive biases is crucial for reducing diagnostic errors.
  • Integrating cognitive psychology principles can enhance medical diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.
