Study Notes
Nursing Process Phases
- Implementation Phase: Involves carrying out a specific, individualized care plan, demonstrated by a nurse encouraging a patient with heart failure to alternate rest and activity.
Concept Mapping in Nursing
- Concept Map Definition: A visual diagram of patient problems and interventions used in nursing care planning, illustrating relationships among clinical data.
- Clinical Pathway: A prewritten plan guiding the interprofessional care team with daily care goals for particular health issues, distinct from concept mapping.
SBAR Communication Format
- SBAR Component: In healthcare communication, proposing a recommendation (e.g., "I think that we should manually irrigate his catheter") represents the "Recommendation" stage of SBAR (Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation).
Influences on Nursing Practice
- Impact of Aging Population: The aging American population and a rise in chronic illnesses are pivotal factors shaping the future of nursing practice, contrasting with declining birth rates and misconceptions around life expectancy.
Delegation in Nursing
- Accountability in Delegation: While Registered Nurses (RNs) can delegate tasks like IV medication administration to Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurses (LPNs/LVNs), RNs remain accountable for the quality of care delivered.
Patient Care Delivery Models
- Primary Nursing Model: Focuses on coordinating patient care across disciplines, ensuring continuity even in the nurse's absence. Distinct from team nursing, which organizes care using an RN as a team leader.
