Nursing: Evidence-Based Practice
Evidence-based practice helps the new nurses to gain expertise that the previous scholar has verified within their current practice for positive patient outcomes. However, to ensure quality patient care, communication plays an integral role in disseminating factual knowledge. This paper aims to provide the databases and the evaluation criteria that would be useful for managing the selected diagnosis for a patient while supervising new nurses.
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse supervising the clinical staff nurses, communication needs to be transparent to make collaboration hassle-free. The nursing practice scenario is about one of the three under-supervision nurses coming to me inquiring about an unknown diagnosis: sepsis for urinary tract infection. It is realized that for patient-centered care, a training method has been introduced by the University of California, Los General Hospital as a revision of the CICARE communication model via Chineseization called the six-step standard communication process (Geng et al., 2022). It entails connecting, introducing, communicating, asking, responding, and exiting as the key six steps for rapid communication and higher levels of professionalism in health services. It is especially valuable for creating patient-nurse harmony and trust.
Active listening is expected from the under-supervision nurse from the mentoring nurse for diagnosis-based research application. Learning would be enhanced through interacting continuously. Empathy, respect, and patience in listening and deploying what is learned through evidence-based research, personal introduction to the patients, and explaining the diagnosis would help respond to the health...
…viewpoints gained from the source are evidence-based that could be later integrated into the practice. The health-related information is crucial in directing the patients health behavior; hence, the information obtained must be trustworthy for promptly making appropriate decisions (Sbaff & Rowley, 2017).Based on the above-discussed model, the five credible online sources are PubMed, NCBI, Diagnostics, Journal of Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment, and Tandfoline database. The first is the most reliable, followed by the other based on their subsequent credibility levels. The reason for selecting these five sources is that they have peer-reviewed, open-access for, full-text articles. They have been approved by scholars and medical professionals with the latest information on different diagnoses and practical, evidence-based solutions when the patient faces…

Nursing Informatics NEW COMPETENCIES Nursing informatics or NI is a field specialty that blends and integrates the nursing, computer and information sciences in managing and transferring information and insights in nursing (Anderson, 2008; Coleman et al., 2010). It is aimed at assisting in the decision-making function of patients, nurses and other participants in patient care through information structures, processes and technology. Nurses who integrate this specialty into their regular practice are called
Nursing Theory Caring as an integral nursing concept can be viewed from diverse perspectives. It can be an attribute, a complex set of behaviors, or an attitude. This has made some people believe that it is impossible to improve and measure it although there is evidence that both improvement and measurement are possible. People recognize that caring models of professional practice affect the service users, health outcomes, healthcare staff, and ultimately
Learning in adults is most effectual when the environment is both participative and interactive. Another important characteristic is that learners obtain instantaneous feedback. Teaching methods that necessitate a learner to think though data or information and come to a conclusion or forecast an outcome are more valuable than is reading or lecture. "The minute-to-minute care and monitoring of critically ill patients requires nurses to collect, analyze, and react to
Nursing informatics has been defined as, "a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice" (Shuler, 2011). The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a conceptual model used in project management that describes the stages involved in the information system development, from a feasibility study to the maintenance of the completed system (Rouse, 2009). With these
Nursing Across Theories Nursing is a core concept that is common across contemporary nursing theories. Even though the definitions, applications, and philosophies are different with each theory, the concept of nursing plays a vital role in each one. Contemporary theories came about when the teaching of nursing students was not sufficient to the performances of what the nurses were being taught in schools and ultimately affecting patient care in the long
Nursing Research Value of Research to Nursing Nursing is different from other health care professions. It has a large scope for practicing therefore it is necessary to understand theory in order to provide a strong framework for understanding of this profession. The daily practice of nursing contributes to a nursing practice theory, which can be empirically tested. A quantitative nursing research has three levels such as descriptive, co-relational and experimental. Therefore nurses
