Summary
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) capture a patient's health status directly. This review covers PROs, measurement tools for cirrhosis patients, and their benefits in person-centered care.
Area of Science:
- * Medical research
- * Patient-centered care
Background:
- * Person-centered care requires understanding patient well-being directly from the patient.
- * Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are direct patient reports on health status, uninterpreted by clinicians.
Purpose of the Study:
- * To define patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
- * To review validated instruments for measuring PROs in cirrhosis.
- * To highlight the benefits of using PROs in cirrhosis patient care.
Main Methods:
- * Literature review of PROs and their application in cirrhosis.
- * Identification and categorization of validated PRO measurement instruments for liver cirrhosis.
- * Synthesis of evidence on the advantages of integrating PROs into clinical practice for cirrhosis.
Main Results:
- * PROs provide essential insights into the patient's experience of illness and treatment.
- * Several validated instruments exist for measuring PROs in patients with cirrhosis.
- * Utilizing PROs enhances the understanding of treatment impact on patient well-being.
Conclusions:
- * Patient-reported outcomes are crucial for delivering person-centered care in cirrhosis.
- * Validated PRO instruments are available for assessing patient health status in cirrhosis.
- * Incorporating PROs improves patient care and well-being assessment in liver disease management.

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
2.6K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

01:28Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management
33
Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.

Pleural Effusion Overview
A pleural effusion is the abnormal collection of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura layers of tissue that form the lining of the lungs and chest cavity. It can occur independently or due to surrounding parenchymal diseases, such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions.

01:17Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System I: Subjective Data
130
Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health History
The initial step in assessing the GI system is obtaining a comprehensive health history. This includes inquiring about the patient's history or presence of problems...
