Planning Nursing Care I

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan.

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.

Area of Science:

Nursing
Geriatrics
Rehabilitation

Background:

Hospitalization-induced immobility leads to functional decline in older adults.
65% of older inpatients lose ambulation ability during hospital stays.
30% of older inpatients do not regain ambulation post-discharge.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of nurse-led mobility plans on patient outcomes.
To assess the effect on length of stay, discharge destination, and falls.
To examine changes in nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding patient mobility.

Main Methods:

Quasi-experimental design comparing patient outcomes before and after mobility plan implementation.
Analysis of patient variables including length of stay, discharge destination, and falls.
Assessment of nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs concerning patient mobility.

Main Results:

Significant positive changes observed in patient outcome variables.
Improved patient discharge to home.
Limited changes noted in nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding mobility.

Conclusions:

Nurse-led mobility plans enhance therapy resource utilization and improve patient discharge outcomes.
Mobility plans facilitate appropriate physical therapy consults.
Nurse-led mobility interventions can positively influence nurses' perspectives on patient mobility.
