Study Notes
Introduction to Nursing Practice
- Nursing practice involves initiating and providing nursing services to individuals, families, and communities in any health setting.
- Nursing care covers all stages of life, from conception to old age.
Scope of Nursing Practice
- Nurses are responsible for health promotion, illness prevention, and restorative/rehabilitative care.
- Nurses collaborate with other healthcare providers to achieve these goals.
- Nurses also aim for a peaceful death when recovery is not possible.
Nursing Process
- Assessment: Gathering information about the client's condition.
- Diagnosis: Identifying the client's problems.
- Planning: Setting goals and identifying appropriate nursing actions.
- Intervention: Performing the planned actions.
Ethical and Legal Considerations
- Patient's Bill of Rights: Patients are guaranteed rights when receiving medical care. Key factors include the rights to informed consent, appropriate medical care, humane treatment, and medical records.
- Legal competency: A patient's legal ability to make medical decisions (minors and legally incompetent patients require designated representatives to consent).
- Procedures against patient will: In exceptional cases allowed by law, and with specific procedures, procedures may be carried out against a patient's will (e.g., emergency cases, epidemic control).
- Confidentiality: Patient privacy is paramount, with exceptions for public health/safety or court-ordered disclosure.
- Informed consent: Consent for treatment should be obtained from a patient, and this must be done in suitable, explicit detail, or if unavailable, from an appropriate representative.
- Right to refuse treatment: Patients have the right to refuse specific treatments or procedures, often based on religious or personal beliefs.
- Right to leave: Patients can typically leave a healthcare setting unless there are specific public health or safety concerns or the patient expressly or implicitly waives that right.
- Medical Research Involvement: Consent is typically required for patient participation in medical research, and ethics and standardized processes should be followed.
- Right to information: Patients have the right to information regarding causes, status, and treatment of their conditions, expected costs, and any other relevant data.
- Grievance processes: Patients are encouraged to formally address any issues relating to their healthcare through prescribed grievance channels.
Evaluation
- Establish linkages with community resources, coordinating with the health team.
- Provide health education to families, individuals, and communities.
- Teach, guide, and supervise nursing students.
- Undertake consultation and documentation.
