Summary
As healthcare evolves, virtual care is expanding. Nurses can leverage nursing theory and research to improve patient care in these evolving virtual environments, enhancing quality and accessibility.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Informatics
- Digital Health
Background:
- The healthcare system is rapidly evolving towards virtual care models.
- Virtual care environments transcend traditional limitations of time, space, and location.
- There is a growing trend of individuals seeking healthcare services remotely.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the current landscape of virtual care environments in healthcare.
- To examine the potential for nurses to expand their scope of practice in virtual settings.
- To discuss the application of nursing theory and research in enhancing virtual care quality.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of current virtual care trends.
- Analysis of nursing's role in telehealth and remote patient monitoring.
- Discussion of theoretical frameworks applicable to virtual nursing practice.
Main Results:
- Virtual care is becoming integral to modern healthcare delivery.
- Nurses possess unique skills to optimize patient care in virtual settings.
- Nursing theory provides a foundation for evidence-based virtual care.
Conclusions:
- Nurses are essential in advancing the quality of care in virtual environments.
- Integrating nursing research into virtual care platforms is crucial for patient outcomes.
- The future of healthcare necessitates a strong nursing presence in virtual care.

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,...

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...

When two or more atoms come together to form a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine and molecular orbitals of distinct energies result. In a solid, there are a large number of atoms, and therefore a large number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. These groups of molecular orbitals are so closely placed together to form continuous regions of energies, known as the bands.
The energy difference between these bands is known as the band gap.

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).
