    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.
