Nursing Handoffs
This is the topic I chose. I can redo the topic. Just let me know.
Nursing handoffs are kind of report among two clinicians responsible for patient care. Nursing handoffs provide an integral part for the transference of patient information from one healthcare provider/clinical practice to another. While effective handoffs become an instrumental part to successful quality patient care, ineffective nursing handoffs can cause not only problems for those that transfer the information, but also may pose a threat to the safety of the patient. Things like treatment delays, medical errors, inappropriate treatment, even care omissions may happen as a direct result of miscommunication that happens during ineffective nursing handoffs. When such incidents occur, longer stays, increased costs, and readmissions increase in frequency.
Articles chosen for this review are 2012 and after, found through PUBMED. The articles are four in total and discuss rates of nursing errors, handoffs-related errors, research and evidence of ineffective and effective nursing handoff strategies, and the importance of providing effective nursing handoffs for quality patient care.
There are the selected Articles and if you don't' want quotes let me know. I selected these quotes:
"Ineffective handoffs have been identified as a barrier to patient safety and quality and as a key area for improvement. Handoffs require a process for effective transfer...
The final question (g) of having adequate resource availability in terms of familial and financial aid I was unable to assess. I was curious if the medications she would have to take would be a burden in terms of costs, administration, or confusion with her many other treatment. Personal reflection about visit to the CSICU Although I was a bit frustrated I was not able to get to know Ms. X
The questions on legal liability issues were minimal as the field of legal issues is new in nursing. The questions addressed a theoretical part regarding the legal liability issues. They were no need of clarification since the questionnaires were easy and self -- administrative. Although the researcher was there for assistance but telephonically. 1.7. Data analysis In this chapter, the analysis is discussed in detail. Data was collected by means of
Leadership Development Plan As Moneke (2014) notes, the CCRN certification "is a mark of excellence and a distinguishing accomplishment" (p. 77). It represents the knowledge that one, as a nurse, has and professionally uses to provide optimal level care to patients. Giving patients both the reassurance and confidence they require when receiving critical treatment and ensuring that I myself am qualified to give them the best care they can get
Orem's Theory And Critical Care Background- The 21st century nursing profession has a greater exposure to new technologies, methods, and techniques than any other in the past. In fact, "the use of clinical judgment in the provision of care to enable people to improve, maintain, or recover health, to cope with health problems, and to achieve the best possible quality of life, whatever their disease or disability, until death" is one
The conglomeration of RBCs and platelets held together by the fibrin forms the clot. After the injury to the damaged artery heals, the clot is no longer needed. The body will then destroy the clot by breaking down the fibrin fiber network that binds the blood products together. This action is performed by a chemical called tissue plasminogen activator (TPA), which is secreted by the endothelial cells within normal
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
