Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

5.0K
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.

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

618
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

4.8K
The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

Traditional Level Of Health Care System01:26

Traditional Level Of Health Care System

2.8K
The levels of care describe the services provided in the healthcare system. Accordingly, there are six levels of the traditional healthcare system in the US: preventive, primary, secondary, tertiary, restorative, and continuing healthcare. A nurse must understand how the healthcare industry organizes and provides services within these levels of care.
The preventive healthcare service includes tests for screening. Preventive health care services include identifying and reducing disease risk...

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

2.2K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology

Context:

  • Healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, face significant work-related stress.
  • This stress commonly leads to elevated anxiety, insomnia, and overall poor mental health.
  • Existing interventions may not fully address the unique challenges faced by this demographic.

Purpose:

  • To explore the efficacy of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), as a non-pharmacological intervention.
  • To investigate PBMT's potential to alleviate anxiety and insomnia in high-stress professions.
  • To present research evidence supporting PBMT's application for mental well-being.

Summary:

  • Low Level Laser Therapy (photobiomodulation therapy, PBMT) is presented as a therapeutic modality.
  • PBMT has demonstrated effectiveness in pain reduction and the induction of specific brainwave patterns.
  • Research indicates PBMT can significantly improve symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, and general mental health issues.
  • The author's extensive 20-year study provides evidence for PBMT's benefits.

Impact:

  • PBMT offers a novel therapeutic avenue for managing stress-related mental health conditions in nursing staff.
  • The findings suggest PBMT can be a valuable tool for enhancing the psychological well-being of medical professionals.
  • Evidence supports the potential broad application of PBMT for improving mental health in both professional and general populations.
