Planning Nursing Care II

Planning Nursing Care II

A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...

Planning Nursing Care I

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. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

Schemas

Schemas

A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Thematic Layering in GIS

Thematic Layering in GIS

In the past, planning projects such as schools or public facilities required extensive manual effort to gather and compile data. Information such as property boundaries, soil characteristics, road networks, zoning regulations, and flood zones had to be sourced individually from courthouses, utility providers, and registry offices. Assembling these datasets into a coherent format often took several months, delaying project timelines.The introduction of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)...

Design Example: Dimensioning of Concrete Masonry Construction

Design Example: Dimensioning of Concrete Masonry Construction

For the construction of a storeroom using concrete masonry units, it's essential to align the dimensions of the structure with the actual sizes of the blocks and the intended mortar joints. On the site in question, there's a stockpile of concrete masonry blocks with a nominal size of eight by eight by sixteen inches, which are to be used in the construction of the storeroom.
The site engineer has laid out a plan for the storeroom with external dimensions of twelve feet in length and...

Methods of Documentation IV: Focus Charting

Methods of Documentation IV: Focus Charting

Focus Charting, also known as the focus charting system or "focus documentation," is a systematic documentation approach used in healthcare to organize patient information in medical records.
It typically involves three columns for recording information:

Area of Science:

Healthcare design
Spatial reasoning
Architectural representation

Background:

Limited examples of non-designers demonstrating advanced spatial reasoning in healthcare design.
Existing literature often focuses on genuine participation with designers.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze how medical professionals generate visualizations without designer collaboration.
To explore the content of drawings created by individuals without formal design education.
To understand how these visualizations convey professional expertise and spatial intentions.

Main Methods:

Qualitative case study approach.
Observations of participant activities.
Interviews conducted at various locations.
Analysis of authentic graphics and their features.

Main Results:

Medical professionals engaged in labor-intensive efforts to produce "architectural representations".
Generated layouts visualized implicit knowledge regarding space functionality.
Participants demonstrated sophisticated spatial reasoning and representational skills.

Conclusions:

Clinicians' creative engagement supports a multidisciplinary approach in design.
Reframes the potential contributions of non-designers in participatory design.
Challenges the exclusive claim of drawings as negotiation devices by architects.
