Planning Nursing Care I01:21

Planning Nursing Care I

6.2K
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

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,...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

2.2K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Fetal Circulation01:14

Fetal Circulation

3.6K
Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Summary

Home birth can be safe with a supportive maternity care network, but concerns remain about inherent risks. Evidence suggests careful consideration is needed for optimal maternal and infant safety.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Public Health
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Increased hospital births due to medical advances have improved maternal and infant outcomes.
  • This success has led to a growing movement advocating for a return to home birth.
  • This trend raises concerns among obstetricians and pediatricians regarding potential risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety of home birth in various contexts.
  • To explore the conditions under which home birth can be considered safe.
  • To address the debate surrounding the support or resistance of home birth practices.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing evidence, primarily from Europe and the US.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to successful home births.

  • Examination of the requirements for a safe home birth environment.

    • Main Results:

    • Evidence suggests home birth can be relatively safe under specific circumstances.
    • A comprehensive, integrated, and responsive maternity care network is crucial for safe home births.
    • The safety of home birth is contingent on the right environment and support systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Home birth safety is achievable with appropriate infrastructure and support.
    • The decision to support or resist home birth requires careful consideration of individual circumstances and available resources.
    • Further integration of maternity care services is essential to enhance the safety of home birth options.
