Guidelines for Writing Outcome01:11

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

4.1K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.1K
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...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

278
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Drug Dosing: Obese Patients

269
In the United States, obesity is a prominent concern. It is linked to heightened mortality rates due to increased occurrences of conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and diabetes compared to nonobese individuals. A patient is classified as obese if their actual body weight surpasses the ideal or desirable body weight by 20%, based on Metropolitan Life Insurance Company data. Ideal body weights consider average weights and heights for males and females...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

241
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

277
In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...

(How) Can We Write about Our Patients?

    Summary

    Writing about patient cases is essential for understanding clinical work but creates an ethical paradox. This exploration examines the conflicts and motivations involved in writing patient case reports.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Ethics
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Writing about clinical work, particularly patient case reports, is crucial for professional development and knowledge dissemination.
    • However, the act of writing about patients presents inherent ethical challenges and paradoxes.
    • Existing literature often focuses on the 'how-to' of writing case reports, rather than the fundamental ethical decision of whether to write at all.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the ethical underpinnings of writing about patients.
    • To subordinate the technical aspects of case report writing to the broader ethical question of choosing whether or not to write.
    • To analyze the ethical conflicts arising from writing about clinical work.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review focusing on ethical conflicts in patient case reporting.

  • Examination of the paradox between conceptualizing clinical work through writing and breaching patient trust.
  • Analysis of the clinician's motivations for writing.

    • Main Results:

    • Writing about clinical work is necessary for conceptualization but inherently breaks a fundamental patient bond.
    • Ethical conflicts arise for both the patient and the clinician.
    • The clinician's motivations for writing are complex and warrant careful consideration.

    Conclusions:

    • The decision to write about patients involves navigating an unsolvable ethical paradox.
    • Addressing these ethical challenges requires a deep understanding of the conflicts involved.
    • Further consideration of these issues can inform more ethical practices in clinical writing.
