Study Notes
Traditional Modes of Care Delivery
- Physiological Nursing Interventions: focus on a patient's physical health, ensuring their physical needs are met.
- Safety Nursing Interventions: prioritize patient safety and injury prevention.
3 Nursing Intervention Categories
- Independent Nursing Interventions: Registered Nurses (RNs) can perform these independently without assistance.
- Dependent Nursing Interventions: Require collaboration with other healthcare professionals for implementation.
- Interdependent Nursing Interventions: Involve teamwork and collaboration across different disciplines.
Evaluation
- Reassessment after interventions to ensure desired outcomes are achieved.
Disadvantages
- Paraprofessionals often handle technical aspects of nursing care.
Functional Nursing
- Task-oriented, with specific duties assigned to individual team members.
- Disadvantages: Requires a qualified nurse case manager, effective teamwork, and a robust quality management system.
Innovative/Contemporary Healthcare Delivery Models
- Emphasize the expanded role of nurses beyond direct caregiving.
- Nurse Navigators: Help patients navigate the healthcare system.
- Clinical Nurse Leaders: Provide leadership and guidance in patient care.
3 Basic Types of Classification Systems
- Descriptive Type/Narrative: Classifies patients based on care received with a narrative and acuteness table.
- Checklist: Uses an acuteness table that assigns points to different care activities.
- Time Standard/Relative Value Unit: Focuses on efficiency and effectiveness in addressing illnesses across settings.
Primary Nursing
- Relationship-based nursing.
- One RN assumes 24-hour responsibility for a patient's care plan from admission to discharge.
- Designed for hospitals, but can be applied in home health, hospice, and other healthcare settings.
Advantages
- High job satisfaction for nurses.
- More professional system: RNs plan and communicate with all healthcare team members.
- RNs develop skills and feel challenged and rewarded.
Category IV: Intensive Care
- For acutely ill patients requiring high levels of nurse dependency.
- Intensive therapy and/or nursing care are necessary due to unstable conditions.
Disadvantages
- Costly.
- Confusing for patients as nursing care plans are modified every shift.
- Tasks can be done with less training, experience, and lower costs.
Modalities of Care
- Methods for evaluating and organizing patient care.
- Each model has pros and cons; no single method is ideal.
- Refers to how nursing care is structured and delivered.
