Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

189
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...

Dosage Regimen Designs: Nomograms and Tabulations

139
Nomograms and tabulations are vital tools used by clinicians to design accurate and individualized dosage regimens. These instruments provide a straightforward method for adjusting dosages based on individual patient characteristics, including age, weight, and physiological condition. The foundation of a drug's nomogram is population pharmacokinetic data collected and analyzed using specific models. This data simplifies complex equations, presenting them diagrammatically or tabularly for easy...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

1.9K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health
  • Patient Education
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Newly diagnosed pediatric cancer and chronic illness patients and families require accessible, understandable health information.
  • Traditional patient education methods may not fully meet the needs of these vulnerable populations.
  • Integrating technology can enhance the delivery of health education in hospital settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a new patient/family education program using tablet computers.
  • To assess the impact of readily available digital health resources on patient and family understanding.
  • To determine the efficacy of technology-assisted health education in a pediatric hospital setting.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a patient/family education program at a children's hospital.
  • Provision of tablet computers with access to curated health resources (e.g., MedlinePlus, X-Plain videos).
  • Development and administration of surveys to gauge intervention efficacy.

Main Results:

  • Surveys were developed to assess patient and family comprehension and satisfaction with the educational interventions.
  • Data collection focused on the usability and perceived value of digital resources.
  • Analysis of survey results is pending to determine the program's impact.

Conclusions:

  • Technology-enhanced patient education programs can improve access to vital health information for families of children with serious illnesses.
  • Further research is needed to quantify the benefits of digital health resources in pediatric care.
  • This initiative highlights a novel approach to patient and family support during challenging diagnoses and treatments.
