Study Notes
Improving Health Outcomes
- 5 contemporary trends in nursing, including Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) focusing on clinical reasoning and clinical judgment skills
- NGN will lead to changes in nursing education programs, emphasizing critical thinking and clinical judgment in clinical settings
The Nursing Process
- 6 steps:
- Assessment: data collection, review, and analysis
- Human Needs Statements (formerly Nursing Diagnoses)
- Planning: identification of goals and outcome criteria
- Implementation: initiation and completion of specific nursing actions
- Evaluation: ongoing monitoring of patient response to care
Assessment
- Includes data collection, review, and analysis
- Medication profile: review of all drug use, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, herbs, and supplements
- Compliance and adherence: monitoring patient's adherence to medication regimen
Planning
- Identification of goals and outcome criteria
- Goals: objective, measurable, and realistic with an established time period for achievement
- Outcome criteria: concrete descriptions of patient goals and expectations
Implementation
- Initiation and completion of specific nursing actions
- Independent, collaborative, and dependent nursing actions
Medication Administration
- 7 "Rights" of medication administration:
- Right drug
- Right dose
- Right time
- Right route
- Right patient
- Right documentation
- Right reason or indication
- Right response
Medication Errors
- Any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm
- Patient-related events: errors related to patient's medication regimen
- System-related events: errors related to the healthcare system
Evaluation
- Ongoing monitoring of patient response to care
- Determining the status of goals and outcomes of care
- Monitoring patient's response to drug therapy
- Clear, concise documentation
Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN)
- Initiated in 2005 to prepare future nurses with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) needed to improve patient care
- KSAs flow out of QSEN initiatives and are integrated into nursing education curricula and clinical outcomes
Interprofessional Education Collaboration (IPEC)
- Formed in 2009 to develop core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice
- Interprofessional education occurs when students from two or more professions learn from and with each other
