Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Nursing Evaluation

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Aims Of Nursing

Aims Of Nursing

Nursing involves independent, cooperative, person-centered care for people of all ages, families, groups, and communities. Nurses assist the sick or the well person in all settings. Nursing includes promoting health, preventing illness, and caring for ill, disabled, and dying people. Health promotion encourages people to take responsibility for their health. It focuses on the healthy behavior of individuals, families, and the community and the factors that impact their health. Examples of...

The Professional Nurse

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Summary

Telemedicine handoffs for critically ill patients improved nurse preparedness compared to telephone. This technology is feasible for interfacility transfers, potentially enhancing patient care.

Area of Science:

Nursing
Health Informatics
Pediatric Critical Care

Background:

Interfacility patient transfers require effective nurse handoffs.
Current methods like telephone may not optimize preparedness.
Telemedicine offers a potential alternative for enhanced communication.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare nurse preparedness and handoff quality during interfacility transfers using telemedicine versus telephone.
To evaluate the feasibility of telemedicine for pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patient handoffs.

Main Methods:

Cross-sectional nurse survey linked with electronic medical record data.
Multivariable, multilevel analysis of 106 handoffs from 55 nurses.
Comparison of telemedicine (28%) versus telephone (72%) handoffs.

Main Results:

Nurses reported higher preparedness after telemedicine handoffs (3.4 vs 3.1; p = 0.02), even for higher-acuity patients.
No significant difference in overall handoff quality (Handoff Clinical Evaluation Exercise).
Telemedicine handoffs showed trends toward better communication components, though not statistically significant in adjusted analysis.

Conclusions:

Telemedicine is a feasible tool for nurse-to-nurse handoffs of critically ill pediatric patients.
Telemedicine may enhance perceived and objective nurse preparedness.
Further research is needed to confirm benefits in communication, adverse events, and satisfaction.
