Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.9K
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...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

4.3K
Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...

Coronary Artery Disease III: Clinical Manifestations

552
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a primary health risk worldwide, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. The condition arises from the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques within the coronary arteries, resulting in diminished blood supply to the heart muscle.The clinical manifestations of CAD vary widely, from asymptomatic stages to severe, life-threatening conditions. Understanding these manifestations is crucial for early diagnosis and effective management.Angina Pectoris: The Warning...

Nursing Diagnosis

4.6K
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...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I

4.3K
A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.
There are thirteen domains...

Hypertension III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

714
Hypertension is asymptomatic and also referred to as the "silent killer" until it progresses to a severe stage or causes target organ disease. Patients may experience symptoms stemming from the strain on blood vessels and tissues in various organs or the heart's increased workload.Physical exams might show no abnormalities other than high blood pressure. Signs of vascular damage, when present, correspond to the organs supplied by the affected vessels, leading to target organ damage. For...

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Clinical Physiology
  • Diagnostic Medicine

Background:

  • Temperature is a critical vital sign influencing emergency department (ED) workup and diagnosis.
  • Temperature derangements (fever and hypothermia) can stem from diverse causes, not solely environmental factors.
  • Understanding temperature's physiological impact is crucial for clinical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the significance of temperature as a vital sign in the ED.
  • To explore the various etiologies of fever and hypothermia.
  • To emphasize the importance of recognizing temperature abnormalities for timely diagnosis and intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on temperature dysregulation in clinical settings.
  • Analysis of common causes and implications of fever and hypothermia.
  • Discussion of the role of temperature in physiological processes and diagnostics.

Main Results:

  • Fever etiologies include infections, inflammation, endocrine issues, and medication reactions.
  • Hypothermia causes encompass shock, endocrine disorders, malnutrition, and iatrogenic factors.
  • Temperature abnormalities significantly affect patient outcomes and diagnostic pathways.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate assessment of temperature is essential for effective emergency care.
  • Considering a broad differential diagnosis for temperature derangements improves patient outcomes.
  • Early recognition and appropriate intervention based on temperature status are critical in the ED.
