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.

Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting

Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting

Documentation in long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings is crucial for ensuring continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive care for patients. Each setting has its specific documentation processes and tools:

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Assessment of apical radial pulse

Assessment of apical radial pulse

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

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

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

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...

Summary

Telemonitoring-enabled toothbrushes can track oral hygiene compliance in nursing homes. While toothbrushing compliance was low, plaque and bleeding scores improved, but gains were lost after monitoring ceased.

Oral Health
Health Informatics

Background:

Nursing home residents with disabilities often require assistance with personal hygiene, including toothbrushing.
Current methods for tracking toothbrushing compliance in this population are inadequate, with low adherence rates.
The need for effective monitoring of oral hygiene practices in long-term care facilities is critical.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess toothbrushing compliance levels among nursing home residents.
To evaluate the relevance and practicality of telemonitoring-powered toothbrushes for automated compliance tracking.
To investigate the impact of this intervention on plaque and bleeding scores.

Main Methods:

Twenty nursing home residents were equipped with telemonitoring-enabled powered toothbrushes.
Toothbrushing frequency and duration were automatically recorded over 100 days.
Plaque and bleeding indices were assessed by dentists at baseline, post-intervention, and three months later.

Main Results:

A minority (5%) met the 2-minute brushing recommendation; 30% met the 1-minute minimum.
Approximately 25% of participants brushed once daily, while 40% received no daily brushing.
Significant improvements in plaque and bleeding scores were observed during the intervention period.

Conclusions:

Telemonitoring-powered toothbrushes are a relevant and practical tool for monitoring oral hygiene compliance in nursing homes.
Despite low compliance, the intervention led to measurable improvements in oral health indicators.
The positive effects on plaque and bleeding scores were not sustained after the removal of the telemonitoring system.
