Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Global Climate Change

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Nursing Implementation

Nursing Implementation

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.

Factors Affecting Body Temperature

Factors Affecting Body Temperature

As a nurse, it is vital to understand the factors affecting body temperature to monitor variations and effectively evaluate deviations from regular.
Factors may include:

What is Climate?

What is Climate?

Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Rising greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are a primary driver.
The healthcare sector, particularly nursing, has a role in addressing this crisis.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the causes of climate change and strategies for mitigating GHG pollution.
To discuss the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for identifying and measuring GHGs.
To outline the role of nurses, nurse leaders, and professional organizations in climate action and education.

Main Methods:

Literature review of climate change causes and mitigation.
Discussion of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol framework.
Identification of nursing interventions and educational needs.

Main Results:

Climate change is driven by GHG pollution.
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol provides a framework for GHG management.
Nurses can implement mitigation strategies across practice settings.
Nurse leaders and professional organizations can drive scalable change.

Conclusions:

Mitigating climate change requires a multi-faceted approach.
Nursing education must incorporate climate change and planetary health.
Interdisciplinary collaboration and professional advocacy are essential for effective climate action.
