One area of nursing that seems to be an ongoing problem is nurse to patient ratio

/in /by
3-One area of nursing that seems to be an ongoing problem is nurse to patient ratio. I feel like when this subject is brought up to those in charge of staffing, they want to roll their eyes at me or whoever is asking about it. I understand that nurses have been wanting less patients for as long as I can recall. The problem is more than just floor nurses complaining. With the advancements in technology and medicine, patients are able to have their cares at home or surgeries on an outpatient basis. Those “walkie talkie” patients are becoming fewer and fewer in the hospital. The patients that we take care of on a daily basis are sick. And I mean they are sick. These patients that may have been ICU patients in the past are now on acute care floors and are being cared for by a nurse that has four other very sick patients. If they had been admitted to the ICU, their nurse may have only one more patient. Floor nurses are being pulled very thin which also leads to nurses feeling burnt out and can have those nurses looking for a different job, which leads to the nursing shortage (Garretson, 2004). We have continued to have the same nurse to patient ratio for years now even though the patients being seen are getting sicker. If nurses had less patients to care for, closer attention can be given to their patients and the risk of mortality can be decreased (Shekelle, 2013)

5-I like your post. Of course Nurses play an important customer service role for hospitals, doctors offices and other medical facilities. Nurses are the ones with the most frequent, direct patient interaction. I just want to share  the best way to provide excellent customer services .
Be personable and connect with patients:

  • Listen
  • Use      touch when appropriate
  • Make      eye contact
  • Do      not rush interactions with patients
  • Acknowledge      that you are understanding the patients desires and concerns by      summarizing and stating them back to the patient and verifying that you      both are on the same page.

Use appropriate language:

  • Discuss      medical information in language that patients can understand

For example: If a patient has a fourth grade reading level do not use every big word and medical term possible when discussing medical information
Show that you care:

  • Ask      patients if they have any questions or concerns
  • Take      the time to listen to any questions or concerns that the patient may have
  • Show      empathy and acknowledge their issues
  • Address      their issues and keep them informed on actions being taken

Involve patients in their care:

  • Give      patients choices whenever possible
  • Take      their preferences into consideration and formulate a plan together
  • Be      knowledgable and considerate of the cultural, social or economic factors      that influence their care, decision making, and interation with the      healthcare team

 
6-Medication errors are one of the most common causes of unintended harm to patients. Med errors can lead to patient disability or even death. The problem is many nurses are in a hurry or don’t even realize they have administered the wrong medication. This can not only lead to possible further harm but does nothing to correct the error as it goes unnoticed. A patient returns from surgery, anxious and in pain, with several I.V. lines and intracranial pressure (ICP), monitor in place. The I.V. tubing used in the operating room differs from the tubing used in the intensive care unit (ICU). In her haste, the ICU nurse prepares to inject morphine into the patient’s ICP drain, which she has mistaken for the central line. She stops just in time when she realizes she is about to make a severe mistake.  The nurse did not complete her five rights before administration leading to a med error. With the new mandated law of electronic charting, we are required to scan our meds which may cut back on the number of errors, but I do not believe it will eliminate them. Technology is growing in hospitals and helping nurses to go right path and prevent medication errors, but unfortunately, med error still exists. Nurses can help further eliminate medication errors by following five rights and completing the appropriate checks before administering any medications. A possible benefit to help reduce medication errors may be to extend new grads internships as well. Education is the key to prevent the medication error. Medication administration is a complicated multistep process that encompasses prescribing, transcribing, dispensing, and administering drugs and monitoring patient response. An error can happen at any step. Although many errors arise at the prescribing stage, some are intercepted by pharmacists, nurses, or other staff.

 Question description
150-200 words needed, along with 2 creative peer questions related to following nursing theorists, attached is my personal philosophy which can be incorporated into the answer to make it more personal.

  • Hildegard Peplau
  • Ida Orlando
  • Madeline Leininger

Contributions of Nursing Theorists Discussion
Instructions:

  1. After reading the assigned chapters, please post two discussion questions based on the readings along with your answers to the following questions:
    • If these chapters influenced your philosophy? Why or why not?
    • Did anything surprise you? What?
  2. Do not summarize the chapters. Provide your thoughts and discussion questions that makes your classmates think.

1-The influence of consequential ethics as an ethical framework (the greatest good for the greatest number) opposes the ethical principle of deontology (i.e., the rightness of an act itself determines what is right). Both of these impact the nursing profession. Modern social exchange theories are based on the principle of utility. Read the assumptions of social exchange theory and consider how these would affect the nurse-patient relationship, compared to how these impact the nurse within the health care environment. To what extent are all theories ethical? Is social exchange theory compatible with the values of the nursing profession?
  Discussion 2
2-Which among the learning theories provided you with new information? How would you apply this in your practice?

Philosophical and Theoretical Foundations of Advanced Nursing Practice Roles Theory

/in /by

 
NGR 6811 Philosophical and Theoretical Foundations of Advanced Nursing Practice Roles
Theory Application Individual Paper (35%)
The theory application individual paper involves using theory to guide nursing actions in a clinical scenario. First, the paper involves determining the phenomena with its concepts. Secondly, the paper provides in-depth analysis of the theory and its concepts. Finally, the paper will allow the learner to apply the theoretical concepts to a nursing situation in a clinical environment. In addition, this paper supports your personal and professional development as a scholar in the nursing discipline.
The purpose of this assignment is to:

  1. Identify and apply theoretical principles from a middle range nursing theory to the concepts of a phenomenon or situation in one’s clinical practice
  2. Conduct a comprehensive library database search using appropriate controlled vocabulary and limiters and expanders to locate scholarly references related to the theory and phenomenon; and
  3. Critically analyze and apply the theoretical principles to a nursing situation in a clinical environment.
  4. Engage in writing to learn as a means to strengthen the written presentation of concepts and ideas essential to nursing scholarship.

Begin by identifying an area of specialty interest. From this interest recall an observation from your practice experience and write a short summary or scenario describing the nursing phenomenon or situation. Specify the concepts of the phenomena. Select one middle range theory that pertains to or explains the phenomenon identified. Next, specify the concepts of the theory that pertain to the phenomena.
Search a selected bibliographic database in the library to locate references pertaining to the concepts of the phenomena and theory and retrieve the most appropriate articles to reference in the discussion of the nursing situation. The body of the paper demonstrates a refined understanding of the nursing situation in light of the information from the journal articles and the theory. Primary sources are to be accessed.
The assignment concludes with a discussion of the concept, phenomenon, theory, and how it applies to his or her practice. The paper content should be nearly 5-7 pages (excluding the title page, reference page, and appendix) and prepared in APA style (levels of headings, double spaced, in-text citation, and references).
