Nursing Implementation01:15

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.
Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...
Planning Nursing Care I01:21

Planning Nursing Care I

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

Planning Nursing Care II

A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...

Summary

Implementing the Nursing Assessment Framework for Patients in the Anesthesia Recovery Period (NAF-PARP) improved nursing assessment quality in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). However, the framework did not significantly reduce nursing defects.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Patient Safety
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Postanesthesia care unit (PACU) nursing assessments are vital for patient safety but often inconsistent.
  • The Nursing Assessment Framework for Patients in the Anesthesia Recovery Period (NAF-PARP) was developed but not previously evaluated.
  • This study addresses the need to assess NAF-PARP implementation and its impact on nursing practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement the NAF-PARP in a PACU setting.
  • To evaluate the effects of NAF-PARP on the quality of nursing assessments.
  • To determine the impact of NAF-PARP on the incidence of nursing defects.

Main Methods:

  • A pre- and post-intervention quality improvement study design was employed.
  • Ninety patients in the control group were assessed using the existing model.
  • Ninety patients in the intervention group were assessed using NAF-PARP after a nurse training program.

Main Results:

  • The intervention group showed improvements in physical assessment, clinical judgment, and organizational efficiency.
  • No significant difference was found in the incidence of nursing defects between the control and intervention groups.
  • NAF-PARP implementation enhanced specific domains of nursing assessment quality.

Conclusions:

  • NAF-PARP implementation improves nursing assessment quality in the PACU.
  • The framework did not significantly decrease nursing defects, indicating complexity in translating process improvements to patient safety outcomes.
  • Further research is needed to explore long-term effects and system-level strategies for NAF-PARP.
