Emergency Nursing

An emergency room physician is a health practitioner who works in confined emergency rooms and treats critically ill individuals. These experts have exceptional life supporting skills. Therefore, they act as lifesavers in numerous health centers. They handle life-threatening situations which the regular doctors find it difficult to control. The patients taken to the emergency rooms require extensive diagnosis and treatment because they have terrible health conditions. After the arrival of the patients to the hospital, the emergency room physicians take care of the critically ill victims instantly.

Everyone faces struggles in their life. Some allow those struggles to help build them as a person, others let those struggles tear them down. For me, I allowed my struggles to help me develop academically and personally. Without struggle there is no progress.

Throughout the twentieth century, several critical factors had facilitated the emergence and development of four distinct roles in advanced nursing practice. Joined forces of medicine and nursing leadership have attempted to address health care crises by creating expanded roles for nurses (Asubonteng, McCleary, & Munchus, 1995, p. 3). Striving to eliminate the disparity, fragmentation, and sub-optimal care, nursing academia sought to prepare future nursing workforce, who would be able to work in “an autonomous and collegial way with physicians” to improve the quality and accessibility of health care (Stanley, 2011, p. 20). Ongoing changes in the delivery of health care, such as

Acute care nursing is by far the most interesting and exciting field I have yet to encounter. There are a couple areas for improvement, and there a couple areas that I have exceeded in. With that being said, the first area of improvement is knowledge of the pathophysiology of the most common diseases seen in the emergency department. The second area of nursing that needs improvement is the titration of intensive care unit medications. Two strengths that I can identify are as follows: patient safety, such as hygiene, and patient safe communication. I enjoyed being in the forefront of the hospital, it was truly an excellent learning experience. I am very thankful to the staff in the emergency department at Las Palmas Hospital, they facilitated

Stacy has been a nurse for ten years, she holds a bachelor’s degree in nursing and currently she is working on obtaining a master’s degree in nursing. Stacy is part of tripe “R” (rewards, recognition, and retention) committee, quality control committee, education committee, and creative awards committee. She is part of the Emergency Nurses Association, and she is a certified emergency nurse too. Stacy shows excellent transformational leadership style, and great communication skills, for example, when I just started as a nurse in the emergency department; I did not have any interest on become a certified emergency nurse, but then in one opportunity Stacy started talking with me about the benefits of getting the certification and the great impact that will have to me and to the facility where I work, and then to my patients. I will be more prepare to care for the critical patients and ready to respond to an emergency. I am currently studying some books that Stacy gave it to me and when I am ready I will take the text to be a certified emergency nurse.

Nurses role is a call, a call to dedicate yourself to your patient at any time: during favorable or severe weather condition, nurses still must deliver their care to the patients. They are at the bedside when physician and families are gone. Evacuating critically ill patient is a huge challenge to any health care facilities and healthcare workers especially the nurses.

People consider me as a caring, patient, friendly, and responsible person. I am very energetic; whenever I start working on something I never want to give up. I have a passion for becoming a nurse since I enjoy helping people around me. I get along with others very well, which make me always being cooperative with my co-workers and work with them toward a share goal. I graduated from Highline Community College last year with honor degree. Even though I already obtained my AA degree in Pre-Nursing, gaining my knowledge in the medical field is not enough for me. I want to gain more clinical patient experience and help people with all my heart. In order to strengthen my clinical experience, I also took the CNA class

This data report provides information and data in regards to the amount of drug/alcohol emergency visit between the year 2008 and 2014. It separates the data from the exact number of emergencies visits due to drugs and alcohol. Benzodiazepine, cocaine, and heroin were amongst the drugs that were collected in regards to the number of emergency visits. The data report allows you to compare and contrast with other city/counties in Maryland; giving you an idea on where Baltimore City stands.

In conclusion, the health care practice is structured with evidence-based practices in order to deliver a safe and quality care to patients. In this case, Giovanni’s fluid overload and impaired oxygenation would improve knowing that the intervetions provided are supported with evidences. The efficiency of Frusemide and low sodium diet would help restore and maintain Giovanni’s fluid balance while relieving his edema, dyspnea, and crackles. Additionally, the decrement in Giovanni’s cardiopulmonary edema would also affect his oxygen status. The integration of CPAP and deep slow breaths in his care would result to improvement of his shortness of breath, breathlessness, fatigue, and normalization of his heart rate and respiratory

The aim of the Intensive and Critical Care Nursing is to better promote excellence of care in critically ill patients. Specialized nurses and their professional teams improve care. The articles provide an exchange of research, experiences of professionals, knowledge, and different skill sets, that are aiming to improve critical care nursing.

Pre-eclampsia and complications associated with this condition account for 15% of direct maternal mortality, 10% of perinatal mortality in Australia (Brennecke, East, Moses, & Blangero) and around fifty thousand maternal deaths a year worldwide. (T. E. T. C. Group, 1995; Vigil-De Gracia et al., 2006) It is estimated that pre-eclampsia complicates about 2-8% of pregnancies. (M. T. C. Group, 2002) Immediate recognition and treatment in the pre-hospital setting is important to reduce the risk of hypertension related injuries (i.e. intracranial haemorrhage) and the progression of pre-eclampsia to eclampsia. Treatment aims are immediate termination of seizures in pregnancy and rapid but safe lowering of the patient’s blood pressure.

Over the last eight years of my nursing career I have had the opportunity to care for patients of all ages, ethnicities, and degrees of illnesses. Compassion is a very important nursing value. I cared for a young mother who at the age of 22 had to experience delivering a baby that she would not be able to take home with her. I sat in her room and held her hand while she cried, screamed and tried to make sense of the tragedy. Sometimes the best words are the unspoken ones. On another occasion I had the opportunity to care for an elderly patient whos family lived far from the hospital. She had reached the end of her life, and she was okay with that. Her only request was not be alone when she took her last breath. She was very weak, but able to thank me over and over for being with her. What an honor it was to share that experience. Life

The respiratory system is one of the most common systems injured by various types of trauma. Thus, an initial triage evaluation of trauma patients should always include a careful evaluation of respiratory function. The clinician should especially focus on evaluating ventilation issues in the airway, thoracic wall and pleural cavity, and oxygenation issues in the lung parenchyma. In this presentation, I will discuss common respiratory injuries as results of trauma and how to diagnose them at emergency rooms by physical examination, diagnostic images, especially ultrasonography and radiography, and respiratory function test. I will discuss emergency treatment of these patients including oxygen supplementation, management of airways. I will also

If there are indications of prerenal AKI, hemodynamic resuscitation must begin immediately and intravascular volume should be upheld or returned (Bellomo et al., 2012, p. 760). Management of AKI includes: maintaining appropriate fluid and electrolyte levels, controlling extreme blood pressures, treating and preventing infections, observing nutritious habits, and acknowledging that specific drugs or their metabolic products may not be excreted and could be toxic. If AKI is not diagnosed within a reasonable time, or if an individual has been in uncontrolled acidosis, hyperkalemia, or severe fluid overload, then dialysis may be indicated (Huether, 2017, p.
