Planning Nursing Care II01:29

Planning Nursing Care II

4.1K
A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...

Body Planes01:06

Body Planes

34.4K
Body planes in anatomy are imaginary flat surfaces used as reference points to divide the body into sections for anatomical study. These planes are essential for understanding the orientation, relationships, and spatial organization of anatomical structures.
The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body resulting in equal division, it is called the midsagittal or median...

Design Example: Designing a Residential Plumbing System

1.2K
The design of residential plumbing systems requires carefully evaluating water demand, flow rates, and pressure dynamics to ensure both efficiency and reliability. The nature of water flow within pipes is defined by its Reynolds number, which classifies flow as either laminar (smooth) or turbulent.

Types of Building Separation Joints01:23

Types of Building Separation Joints

682
Building separation joints divide large or complex building structures into smaller, discrete units that can move independently. These joints are categorized into three types: volume-change joints, settlement joints, and seismic separation joints.
Volume-change joints address the effects of expansion and contraction due to temperature and moisture variations. They are strategically placed at discontinuities in a building's mass where cracking is most likely and are spaced about 150 to 200...

Plane Potential Flows01:23

Plane Potential Flows

1.0K
Plane potential flows simplify fluid motion by assuming the fluid to be irrotational and incompressible. These characteristics allow these flows to be described by a velocity potential function, ϕ, representing the flow speed in a given direction, and a stream function, ψ, that visualizes the flow path, both governed by Laplace's equation. These parameters help in estimating flow patterns, velocity distributions, and pressure fields around various hydraulic structures.

Movement Joints in Buildings01:27

Movement Joints in Buildings

416
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Design
    • Nursing Practice
    • Facility Management

    Background:

    • Increasing recognition of the multifaceted value nurses bring to healthcare environments.
    • The traditional design process often overlooks the practical, day-to-day experiences of clinical staff.
    • Need for integrating frontline clinical expertise into facility planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the essential contributions of nurses in the facility design process.
    • To advocate for the inclusion of nursing perspectives in architectural and design planning.
    • To explore how nurse involvement can improve healthcare facility outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of case studies involving nurse participation in design.
    • Literature review on evidence-based design and nursing informatics.
    • Surveys and interviews with healthcare professionals and design teams.

    Main Results:

    • Nurse participation leads to more efficient workflows and improved patient safety.
    • Incorporating nursing insights results in better space utilization and reduced operational costs.
    • Enhanced communication and collaboration between clinical staff and design professionals.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses are critical stakeholders in designing effective healthcare facilities.
    • Integrating nursing expertise leads to improved patient care, staff satisfaction, and operational efficiency.
    • Future healthcare design should prioritize and formalize the role of nurses in the planning stages.
