Study Notes
Purpose of Outcome Identification and Planning
- Design a patient-centered care plan to prevent, reduce, or resolve health problems and meet patient health expectations.
- Achieving this plan relies on clearly defined patient outcomes.
Benefits of Outcome Identification and Planning
- Tailored specifically to individual patient needs.
Elements of Comprehensive Planning
- Initial: Conducted upon patient admission with a physical assessment.
- Ongoing: Continuously updated through interaction with the patient.
- Discharge: Most effectively performed by the nurse who has provided direct care.
Prioritizing Patient Health Problems
- High priority: Problems posing the greatest threat to patient well-being.
- Medium priority: Non-threatening diagnoses.
- Low priority: Diagnoses not directly related to the current health issue.
- Utilize Maslow's hierarchy for effective prioritization.
Goals and Nursing Orders from Nursing Diagnosis
- Each nursing diagnosis should correspond with at least one outcome reflecting resolution of the identified problem.
Developing Nursing Care Plans
- Outcomes can be long-term (over one week) or short-term (accomplished in a specified timeframe).
Evaluating Planning Skills
- Use measurable criteria in patient goals to assess the specified behaviors.
Clinical Reasoning and Prioritization
- Determine which problems need immediate attention versus those that can wait.
- Identify responsibilities: direct nursing tasks or referrals needed.
- Recognize which issues can be addressed using standard care plans and which require individualized attention.
Types of Nursing Interventions
- Nurse-initiated interventions: Actions performed by a nurse without physician orders.
- Physician-initiated interventions: Actions initiated by a physician, executed by nurses under orders.
- Collaborative interventions: Treatments initiated by other healthcare providers carried out by nurses.
Common Planning Problems and Remedies
- Involvement: Ensure active patient participation in the planning process.
- Data Collection: Gather sufficient and accurate data to formulate precise nursing diagnoses.
- Update the Care Plan: Consistently revise the plan as necessary.
Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC)
- Classifies nursing-sensitive patient outcomes and indicators for effective evaluation in clinical settings.
Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC)
- Provides a comprehensive, validated list of nursing interventions applicable across multiple specialties.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Framework for prioritizing patient needs based on levels of importance.
Ongoing Planning Responsibilities
- All nurses interacting with the patient are accountable for keeping the care plan updated and relevant.
Discharge Planning
- Begins at admission, executed by the nurse closely engaged with the patient.
Long-term vs Short-term Goals
- Long-term goals require prolonged time to achieve, often linked to discharge.
- Short-term goals can be completed in a designated timeframe.
Cognitive, Psychomotor, and Affective Outcomes
- Cognitive: Increases in patient knowledge.
- Psychomotor: Development of new skills by the patient.
- Affective: Changes in patient beliefs, values, and attitudes.
Implementing Care
- Reassess patient status regularly to adapt interventions as needed.
- Monitor responses to interventions for timely adjustments to the care plan.
Variables Influencing Care Plan Implementation
- Patient-related factors, nurse competencies, available resources, standards of care, research findings, and ethical/legal standards.
Importance of Ongoing Data Collection
- Continuous monitoring of patient responses informs necessary updates to the care plan.
Reassessment After Interventions
- Critical for determining the effectiveness of interventions and patient progress towards goals.
Patient Noncompliance
- Reassess strategies if patients are uncooperative, identify reasons for noncompliance or reevaluate the care plan.
Delegating Nursing Interventions
- Risks associated with fewer nurses caring for sicker patients while managing unlicensed assistive personnel performing previously professional tasks.
