Nursing Implementation

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy, also known as CRRT, is a procedural treatment for acute kidney injury (AKI) that gradually removes uremic toxins and fluids while maintaining acid-base balance and stabilizing electrolytes. It is particularly useful for hemodynamically unstable patients. Unlike intermittent hemodialysis, which is faster, CRRT provides a gentler approach over 24 hours, closely mimicking the function of natural kidneys. However, CRRT is not ideal for patients with...

Coronary Artery Disease V: Interprofessional Care

Coronary Artery Disease V: Interprofessional Care

Interprofessional care for coronary artery disease includes pharmacological therapy and revascularization procedures.Pharmacological therapy for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) aims to manage symptoms, prevent complications, and improve patient outcomes through various classes of medications:Antiplatelet Agents:Aspirin and Clopidogrel: These medications inhibit platelet aggregation, preventing blood clots, which is crucial for avoiding heart attacks and strokes. Doctors often prescribe these...

Acute Kidney Injury V: Interprofessional Care

Acute Kidney Injury V: Interprofessional Care

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires a collaborative healthcare approach to restore renal function and prevent complications. Essential management strategies involve monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medications, initiating dialysis when necessary, and providing nutritional support.Fluid and Electrolyte ManagementFluid Monitoring: Regularly monitoring body weight, central venous pressure, and urine output helps detect fluid imbalances early. Patient intake and output are...

Summary

Direct care nurses trained as vascular access champions improved short peripheral catheter (SPC) skills. This initiative reduced unnecessary referrals to the vascular access team (VAT), enhancing patient care and resource allocation.

Nursing Practice
Vascular Access Management
Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

Vascular access teams (VATs) receive numerous consults for short peripheral catheter (SPC) placement.
A subset of these SPC insertions do not necessitate specialized VAT expertise.
Inefficient referral patterns can strain resources and delay care.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a program training direct care nurses as unit-based vascular access champions.
To enhance the placement, care, and maintenance of SPCs by non-VAT staff.
To decrease unwarranted referrals to the VAT for SPC insertion.

Main Methods:

A training program was developed for direct care nurses to become vascular access champions.
Twenty-one nurses from six units participated in the training.
Knowledge and confidence regarding SPC insertion, care, and maintenance were assessed pre-training, immediately post-training, and at 6 months.

Main Results:

Training significantly increased knowledge and confidence in SPC insertion, care, and maintenance among trained champions and other direct care nurses.
The percentage of unwarranted VAT referrals for SPC placement decreased on participating hospital units.
The program demonstrated effectiveness in improving SPC management at the unit level.

Conclusions:

Training direct care nurses as vascular access champions is an effective strategy to improve SPC management.
Empowering unit-based nurses can optimize VAT resource utilization by reducing unnecessary referrals.
This initiative contributes to enhanced patient care and efficient healthcare delivery.
