Nursing Intervention In Nursing

The NHS have 6 core nursing values, launched by England’s chief nursing officer, Jane Cummings, after the Mid-Staffordshire disaster. These 6C’s were put into place to reinforce holistic nursing (Delves-Yates, C. 2015), ensure that everybody within the National Health Service is doing everything possible to ensure the best possible service for the patients, and to ensure that patients were put at the heart of everything healthcare professionals do (Watterson, L. 2013). The 6 C’s include care, compassion, competence, commitment, courage and communication. All six of the 6C’S are all fundamental values when it comes to healthcare, however out of these six, the three that I have chosen to write about are communication, compassion and courage. I have chosen these three as I believe that they are the most imperative when it comes to delivering high-quality care for the patients or service users.

As a Registered Nurse is a crucial component to ensure that there is effective communication between the nurse and patient. As well as being respectful to the person’s dignity, culture, values, beliefs and rights. This is because everyone is different, and due to this it is important that I am being cautious to each person’s individual needs.

This assignment will explore and critically evaluate the role of the registered nurse in the development of a plan of care that is patient centred. This will involve examining and critically analysing the chosen nursing model in a holistic assessment of the patient and the use of the nursing framework ASPIRE (Barrett, Wilson and Wollands, 2012).

The purpose of this paper is to conduct an in depth exploration of the nursing care considerations of patients in a specific clinical area. Through the synthesis of prior knowledge, clinical experiences and skills, evidence based best practices, and care of patients a comprehensive care and teaching plan will be composed. Integration of critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills, combined with evidence-based research will provide confirmation of nursing process comprehension. The inclusion of reviewed literature will further support knowledge and understanding.

This essay covers the Key concepts of care. In 2013 the Francis report highlighted the need for student nurses to test and experience their values and levels of care and compassion, and whilst it is seen that the failures highlighted in the report go further than a lost compassion of nursing, this exercise is to look at the key concepts of care and the principles of the 6 Cs (Care, Compassion, Courage, Communication, Competence and Commitment) which have been identified as fundamental values, although not the only ones as nurses have other core values such as organisational, professional and NHS values to work to. I have selected one of the 6 Cs (communication) for a more detailed description from which I will then provide as requested in my brief an example specific to its application in a particular service. The area I have selected to apply this to, is Dementia.

This essay will discuss the role of the adult nurse in a recovery setting, within the specific context of Nurse Joy and her patient Linda. It will explore the professional values and attitudes of the recovery nurse. Also, it will demonstrate how effective, holistic and evidence-based nursing can impact on patient experience and care. To explore these topics, this essay will discuss the episode of care given by Nurse Joy to Linda. It will show that her practice adhered to the expected standards of nursing while showing compassion respect and dignity of the patient. A reflection will conclude the essay, explaining what impact the experience of observing Nurse Joy’s practice had on the author of this essay. In accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery council’s code of conduct 2015, all patients and healthcare professionals have pseudonyms to protect their confidentiality and anonymity.

Setting the Stage: Patient 1 is an 87 year old retired man who arrived by ambulance. His last admittance to the hospital (from the nursing home that he lived at) was 2 months ago. According to his medical records, he had a history of peripheral arterial occlusive disease and deep vein thrombosis, and came in due to leg pain and a urinary tract infection. While the patient did not have a diagnosed neurocognitive disorder, the patient appeared delusional, and told the occupational therapist that he (the patient) was a retired occupational therapist, but had told the physical therapist the previous day that he was a carpenter. The patient was being treated for depression and anxiety with medications.

After establishing the community goals, resources and constraints, two public health nursing interventions were identified. The first intervention includes a one-hour mental health education class held for school-aged children at the local Boys and Girls Clubs. This class will be provided by nursing students from the University of Arizona. The students will then facilitate a cognitive-behavioral therapy activity that will address mental health, and emphasize different coping skills and how to deal with bullying. Therapy will include an art project where the participants will write negative thoughts or feelings on a drop sheet. The drop sheet will then be hung as a target and the participants will throw water balloons filled with paint at the

Good evening class, the assessment tool that I was given to learn about was Fulmer SPICES acronym. This is useful for common syndrome of the elderly that will require nursing interventions. As to the article and video that I watch, it was about a 70-year-old female African American. Medical history of sickle cell anemia, congestive heart failure and total hip replacement.

The aim of this essay is to explore evidence based nursing intervention in the care and management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in an acutely ill patient. The acutely ill patient involved in this essay was admitted to hospital due to cerebrovascular accident and had a past medical history of myocardial Infarction, left Ventricular failure, peripheral vascular disease and duodenal ulcer as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This essay will provide a rationale for the chosen aspect of care (COPD) and reason will be given why it is a priority. In particular the essay will examine the significance of the underlying pathophysiology of the disease relating to the acutely ill patient other

The global population is divided into different sections that have special needs and in the same way they need to be supported and assisted in a unique way. From the perspective of the health care worker, the idea of needs varies significantly based on location and principal factors associated with the individual in the society. The needs can be addressed by understanding the primary cause related to a particular issue rather than generalized interventions. The nursing interventions are critical in offering the unique support required by the individuals requiring the interventions (Westphal & Convoy, 2015). The veterans have been identified as a special needs population. Therefore, the method used for intervention should be special considering

The power of connection is achieved from networking, knowing people and being able to gather information within organization (Huber, 2014 pg. 163). Personal affiliation and networking can begin between a nurse in one facility and another by exchanging information on effective nursing interventions used by their institutions to help to be competitive and stay current. The use of personal networking can help the leaders to boost their career as nurses. As leaders attend conferences or convention, they can meet their opportunity because these are some of the places some leaders can advance their careers or meet well connected people that can help them to achieve their goals. Informal networks have always been important in the workplace to get

Nurses are responsible for promoting and enhancing client health by implementing interventions that prevent illnesses and minimize deterioration (Watson, 2008). In order to assist Mr. X with ventilation, I implemented several interventions that assisted with the accomplishment of this human need. This comprised of the usage of comfort measures to assist with ventilation which included repositioning my client into a semi-fowler position by elevating the head of the bed 45 degrees with the arms supported by pillows. This allows the diaphragm to expand with some ease while stabilizing the chest and reducing breathing efforts. Also, I encouraged breathing techniques, such as pursed-lips, which assisted in reducing respirations while improving the laminar flow of the expired air (Loring et al., 2009).

That is another great post from you. Your nursing intervention is very interesting. It is always prudent to do the non-invasive and non-pharmalogical interventions before trying the other alternatives, however how effective is the non-pharmacological intervention in managing pain in patients experiencing severe pains from trauma or major injury? As you said this intervention will take a longer time compare to push meds. Thanks for

In year 2000 and 2010, an estimated 1 million hospitalizations for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), of which most of these hospitalizations were for those aged 65 and over, the share of CHF hospitalizations for those under age 65 increased from 23% to 29% over this time period (Hall, Levant, & DeFrances, 2012). According to Held (2009), acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) ensues when cardiac output fails to meet the demand of the body’s metabolic needs. The fluid volume overload makes the unstable condition necessitates instant treatment for the reason that it impairs perfusion to systemic organs, endangering their function.
