Implementing Standardized Feeding Guidelines, Challenges, and Results
Purpose:
The purpose of this article was to develop standardized nutritional guidelines that would promote increased growth velocity (GV) in premature infants.
Design:
Evidence-based standardized nutritional guidelines were developed. Guidelines included total parenteral nutrition advancement; enteral feeding advancement; and a bedside nurse gastric residual management algorithm. Staff education was given. Guideline compliance was measured. Nutritional intake and daily weights were recorded.
Sample:
Infants of birth weight <1,500 grams who were admitted to the NICU before day of life four.
Main Outcome Variable:
Increase in GV from 12 to 15 g/kg/d.
Results:
Growth velocity was unchanged. Compliance to the nutritional guidelines was 70 percent. No difference was seen in length of stay. Rate of necrotizing enterocolitis was decreased.

The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
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...
