Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis01:10

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.2K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

4.9K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Preventive Healthcare Services

1.0K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Nursing Diagnosis01:22

Nursing Diagnosis

2.7K
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...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

12.6K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Health Services Research
  • Clinical Practice

Context:

  • Medical interventions can lead to unintended iatrogenic effects.
  • Overdiagnosis, a significant concern, arises from a misunderstanding of risks by patients and clinicians.
  • Current practices often lack robust strategies for quaternary prevention.

Purpose:

  • To define quaternary prevention and its relationship to overdiagnosis.
  • To explore the role of risk perception in fueling overdiagnosis.
  • To integrate quaternary prevention strategies within the framework of Shared Decision Making (SDM).

Summary:

  • Quaternary prevention focuses on minimizing harm from medical treatments, addressing issues like overdiagnosis.
  • Poor risk appreciation by both patients and healthcare providers exacerbates overdiagnosis.
  • Implementing quaternary prevention requires effective risk communication and Shared Decision Making.

Impact:

  • Enhances patient safety by reducing unnecessary medical interventions.
  • Promotes a more patient-centered approach to healthcare through Shared Decision Making.
  • Empowers clinicians and patients by fostering collaborative decision-making and shared power.
