Evaluation of a Nurse-Driven Protocol to Remove Urinary Catheters: Nurses' Perceptions.
Urologic Nursing
|July 23, 2015
Summary
Nurses reported improved job ease and positive patient feedback after implementing a nurse-driven protocol in a Magnet-designated hospital. Younger nurses were more likely to adopt this new protocol.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Practice
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Magnet-designated hospitals are recognized for nursing excellence.
- Nurse-driven protocols aim to standardize and improve patient care.
- Assessing nurse perceptions is crucial for protocol adoption and success.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore nurses' perceptions of a nurse-driven protocol's impact.
- To evaluate the effect of the protocol on nursing practice and patient outcomes.
- To identify factors influencing protocol utilization among nursing staff.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative or quantitative data collection on nurse perceptions.
- Analysis of post-protocol implementation data.
- Comparison of usage patterns across different nurse demographics.
Main Results:
- Implementation of the nurse-driven protocol led to enhanced job ease for nurses.
- Positive patient feedback was observed following protocol implementation.
- Nurses with less experience or younger age were more inclined to use the protocol.
Conclusions:
- Nurse-driven protocols can positively influence nursing practice and patient experience.
- Targeted support or training may enhance protocol adoption among all nursing staff.
- Further research should explore long-term effects and barriers to protocol implementation.

604
In managing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in nursing, a comprehensive assessment is essential. Begin by gathering subjective data, such as the patient’s complaints of dysuria (painful urination), urinary frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, and any lower abdominal discomfort. This information can be complemented by questions regarding previous UTIs, sexual activity, and personal hygiene practices, which can provide insight into risk factors. Objective assessment should focus on signs...

Nursing responsibilities before cardiac catheterization include:Assess for allergies and establish baseline health status.Before cardiac catheterization, assess the patient for allergies to contrast dye. Perform a comprehensive baseline assessment, including vital signs, heart and breath sounds, and a neurovascular assessment of the extremities, noting distal pulses, skin color, and temperature. Instruct the patient to fast for 8-12 hours before the procedure. Evaluate baseline laboratory...

A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...
