OMEAGE-7: Evaluation Of A Patient

o Monitor central venous pressure, oxygen, glucose, electrolytes, lactate, renal function, urine output o Fluid resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, broad-spectrum antibiotic

Assessment tools are used in the care planning process to build up a holistic picture of an individual’s needs. When all the details have been recorded an assessment can be made and suitable care and support can be identified. A few of the assessment tools are information from the individual such as diaries, observations, medical histories and checklists.

APIE is a nursing process which guides health professionals through the problem solving approach, which promotes the individualised, holistic delivery of care. It is tailored around the patient’s needs and allows nurses to holistically assess the patient, then plan and set goals according to the information gathered. These plans and goals are then implemented into the

In this Assessment nursing course, one of the major things that is taught is the most important part of giving proper care to a patient. Correct patient assessment is needed before any nursing care plan or treatment can be implemented. This post-review of a person’s assessment will demonstrate the proper way to go about assessing a person’s health.

Throughout this complete health assessment, I will approach my patient, a 49 years old, female, married patient, and perform a head to toe examination. Starting with the gathering of information, I will start with biographic data, reason for seeking care, present illness, past health history, family history, functional assessment, perception of health, head to toe examination, and baseline measurements. The subjective data will be collected first, where the patient will provide necessary information about every organ system for further examination while the objective data will be amassed in every system based on my findings. This assignment serves as an opportunity to establish a nurse-client interpersonal relationship that

Assessment is described as”The first stage of the nursing process, in which data about the patient’s health status is collected” (Oxford dictionary of nursing, 2003, p23), following this phase a care plan can be devised.

They serve as a framework for clinical assessment and can be applied to the individual, family, and community. Through this framework, data is collected and assessed, allowing for the application of nursing diagnoses and interventions that encompass a holistic view of the client. There are 11 patterns, and within each pattern there are four focal areas.

Through use of the Universal Intellectual Standards of Quality Thinking (UISQT) the nurse should use the standards, relevance and significance, to organize and categorize the patient's information and separate the important assessment data that will help to tailor an appropriate plan for the patient (Wilkinson, 2011, p. 70). These skills are important because through relevance one can separate what information is relevant to the patient's problem and through significance one can sort out what data is most important and what data is normal for the relevant data. The assessment data of S.P.’s vital signs and body mass index are normal. The important data sorted for S.P. includes her age, medical history, oxygen saturation and 50-pack-year smoking history, fall at home leading to an intracapsular fracture of the hip at the

Through basic observations, health professionals are able to evaluate the performance of an individual’s health status. In relation to Casey, it is noted in her Observation Chart that in the time span of two hours the patient’s health status had changed from being relatively normal (to the patient) to an increased respiratory rate, heart rate and temperature as well as a decrease in blood pressure. It is also noted that the patient has a score of 8 in the pain scale (compared to the score of zero two hours previously), relating to the lower abdomen. Programs such as Between the Flags acknowledges the fact that the early recognition of deterioration of patients can reduce harm to patients through designing and implementing systems which provide a structural response in the event of a deteriorating patient, such as Rapid Response and Clinical Review. There are two phases involved in the rapid response, which includes the afferent phase and the efferent phase. The afferent phase focuses on the overall monitoring and recognising the deteriorating patient whereas

Answer the following patient information questions using the table provided. Refer to figure 4-10 on p. 83 of Health Information Technology and Management for assistance.

As you learned in NR302, before any nursing plan of care or intervention can be implemented or evaluated, the nurse conducts an assessment, collecting subjective and objective data from an individual. The data collected are used to determine areas of need or problems to be addressed by the nursing care plan. This assignment will focus on collecting both subjective and objective data, synthesizing the data, and identifying health and wellness priorities for the person. The purpose of the assignment is twofold.

Clinical practices are standardized using a newly developed nursing tool to capture and summarize information before the patient enters the exam room. Tracks performance using an “all-or-none bundle approach.” Bundle Example for

The head to toe physical assessment is the first step of the nursing process and is a systemic approach of collecting objective (physical) and subjective (mental) data on the patient that will help the nurse formulate nursing diagnoses and plan patient care. It is also used to confirm or question data that was stated in the pt. previous history stated in the charts and to evaluate the effectiveness of the nursing interventions that were carried out on the patient. The main focus of the head-to-toe assessment is to focus on what the patient is currently presenting with; the patient's responses to actual or potential problems.

The Geriatric Institutional Assessment (GIAP) Profile relates to staff awareness of existing programs and protocols at your institution, that support nursing staff who are caring for the geriatric population. There is a section on the GIAP which drills down on specific care regimens that should be part of routine patient care, for patients with confusion, patients at risk for falls, or those at risk for pressure ulcers

The purpose of a nursing health assessment is to collect holistic, subjective and objective data to determine a patient’s overall health and well-being to establish a professional clinical judgement. The nurses collect physiological, psychological,
