Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

8.2K
The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

207
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process I: Assessment and Diagnosis

4.6K
The nursing process uses scientific reasoning, problem-solving, and critical thinking to guide nurses in providing patients with appropriate care. This process is a systematic approach to recognize, avoid, and treat current or potential health issues while promoting the patient's well-being.
The nursing process considers the patient's emotional and physical well-being. The process can be repeated or stopped at any point if judged essential. Assessment is the first step in the nursing...

SBAR I: Understanding the Concept

4.9K
Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...

Nursing Diagnosis01:22

Nursing Diagnosis

3.1K
Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
The nursing diagnosis focuses on evidence-based...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Patient Safety
  • Clinical Decision Making

Background:

  • Nursing surveillance is defined as the purposeful and ongoing acquisition, interpretation, and synthesis of patient data.
  • It is crucial for informed clinical decision-making and enhancing patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a framework for assessing and evaluating nursing surveillance.
  • To analyze the concept of nursing surveillance and its attributes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search conducted across CINAHL, OVID, EmCare, and ScienceDirect databases.
  • Concept analysis using the Walker and Avant method.

Main Results:

  • Nursing surveillance involves a systematic process, pattern recognition, coordinated communication, anticipation of instability, and decision-making.
  • Antecedents include nurse education, expertise, staffing, and supportive organizational culture.
  • Enhanced patient safety and reduced adverse events are outcomes of effective nursing surveillance.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing surveillance is vital for managing complex patient cases safely.
  • It is more than monitoring; incorporating key attributes improves patient outcomes.
  • While complex, its attributes and outcomes can be measured to enhance care.
