BackgroundCare of pregnant mothers is one of the most important services provided in the healthcare system.ObjectiveThis study aims to identify and evaluate human errors in the care process of pregnant mothers using the extensive Cognitive Reliability and Error Analysis Method (CREAM).MethodsIn this study, tasks and activities related to the care of pregnant mothers in the health center and hospital were first analyzed using the HTA (hierarchical task analysis). Then, using extensive CREAM, human errors in tasks related to the care of pregnant mothers in the health center and hospital were identified and evaluated.ResultsIn general, 34 main tasks and 106 subtasks were identified in the process of caring for pregnant Mothers. Thirty seven activities are related to midwifery associates or experts, and 19 activities are related to gynecologists. The highest Cognitive Failure Probability total (CFPt) was related to the duties of measures related to the infant, preparing the pregnant mother for transfer to the operating room, routine obstetric measures, taking delivery, measures related to resuscitation, and measures related to the control of the condition after delivery.ConclusionsThe process of caring for pregnant mothers is very vital and prone to errors due to different levels of service. The presence of experienced and capable personnel can largely prevent the occurrence of human errors. Increasing the number of personnel can be effective in reducing workload and preventing errors.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation01:20

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,...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Methods of Documentation II: POMR01:26

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...
