Professional Values01:29

Professional Values

9.9K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

5.9K
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.

Measuring blood pressure is a fundamental skill in healthcare that aids in diagnosing and monitoring hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. An aneroid sphygmomanometer, commonly used in clinical settings, offers a manual and precise method for blood pressure measurement. The technique for using this instrument involves specific steps that must be carefully executed to ensure accuracy. The following detailed description outlines a two-step technique for assessing blood pressure using...

Methods of Sterilization I: Physical Methods

23.4K
As used in a healthcare facility, sterilization destroys all microorganisms through physical or chemical methods. The physical method includes steam, dry heat, boiling water, and radiation.
Steam sterilization uses non-toxic, low-cost moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, which is fast, microbicidal, and sporicidal, and quickly warms and penetrates fabrics. Autoclaves, or steam sterilizers, expose each item to direct steam contact for a predetermined time at the necessary...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

1.1K
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Ergonomics
  • Human Factors Engineering
  • Workplace Safety Research

Background:

  • A 2005 survey established baseline ergonomic assessment tool usage.
  • This study revisits ergonomic practices 12 years after the initial survey.
  • Understanding current trends in ergonomic assessment is crucial for improving workplace health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess current usage of ergonomic assessment tools by certified practitioners.
  • To compare current tool usage with data from a 2005 survey.
  • To identify geographic variations and emerging technology adoption in ergonomics.

Main Methods:

  • A web-based survey was distributed to certified ergonomics practitioners in the US, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand.
  • 405 surveys were analyzed, covering basic and advanced ergonomic assessment tools.
  • Questions addressed the use of observational techniques, direct measurement instrumentation, and mobile applications.

Main Results:

  • Usage of specific methods like Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) and Reba (REBA) has increased in the U.S. since 2005.
  • There was minimal increase in the use of direct measurement approaches in the U.S.
  • Geographic differences in method usage were observed, and 24-28% of practitioners reported using mobile apps.

Conclusions:

  • Certain ergonomic assessment methods have seen increased adoption in the U.S.
  • Geographic variations in tool utilization persist among international practitioners.
  • Mobile technology represents an emerging tool in ergonomic practice, currently in early adoption.
