Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

7.1K
The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps

1.4K
The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.
The hand washing procedure itself includes the following steps. First, cover cuts, if any, on hands with a waterproof dressing. Cuts and abrasions can become contaminated with bacteria hindering the ability to clean the area thoroughly. In addition, repeated hand washing can worsen an injury.  The nails must be short and clean, without nail...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Contact dermatitis (CD) is a prevalent inflammatory skin condition.
  • Distinguishing irritant CD from allergic CD (ACD) often requires specialized testing.
  • Patch testing (PT) is the gold standard for diagnosing ACD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the complexities of patch testing (PT) for allergic contact dermatitis (ACD).
  • To emphasize the importance of expertise in PT allergen selection, interpretation, and patient management.
  • To highlight considerations for special populations in ACD diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Patch testing (PT) involves applying standardized or personalized allergen panels to the skin.
  • Interpretation considers dermatitis distribution, patient history, and clinical relevance.
  • Commercially available panels and personal care products can be utilized.

Main Results:

  • PT requires skilled interpretation beyond simple application.
  • Dermatitis distribution aids in selecting appropriate allergens.
  • Determining clinical relevance is crucial for successful management.

Conclusions:

  • Effective ACD management relies on accurate PT interpretation and clinical relevance assessment.
  • Patient education on allergen avoidance and alternatives is essential.
  • Tailored PT strategies are necessary for specific populations like children, occupational cases, and those with biomedical devices.
