When talking with Casey he said, “The gait belts are highly important because when transferring a resident we have nothing to grab on. We don’t want to rely on the residents being able to stand up because a lot of the times their knees give out and they drop to the floor. We also don’t want to pull on the resident because it can hurt them. So without our belt we would be lost and probably hurting the residents.

The authors used quite an extensive list of references, ranging in time frame from the years 1982-2014, which were used appropriately throughout the article and were aimed to give readers evidence on the background and complications of Central Venous Access Devices. The authors followed APA guidelines and used credible resources.

Inserting an IV into a patient can be a painful experience, especially if the individual has veins that are hard to visualize or palpate. Some reasons for difficulty inserting IV catheters include obesity, veins that roll or blow easily, dark pigmented skin, and dehydration. With the help of modern technology, devices called Accuvein finders have made it a less painful process for patients. The author will discuss how these devices have compared to palpation and inspection on hospitalized patients in the last five years. This paper will focus on three articles that tested the Accuvein finders and the results of each.

Then the patient was transferred from one stretcher to the operating room (OR) stretcher. The patient was put to sleep with general anesthesia. After he went to sleep a tube was put into his throat to help with the airway. The patient also had a Foley catheter inserted; was told the catheter will stay in for a few days after surgery. Compression devices such as sequential compression device (SCD) were added to the patients legs this helps to keep the blood circulating in his legs. Monitors were used to observe his vital

The Pa is requesting a grab bars to maximize safety while completing personal care I/O the tube and during transfers. The SC is recommending grab bars installation due to Pa’s declining health; sever unsteady gait, generalized weakness, and lack of other resource and/or informal support. The Pa was hospitalize recently and stayed 30 days in a skilled facility for rehab. The Pa had both PT and OT and home had since been d/c and is going to outpatient therapy.

The procedure includes the use of a catheter and small tube called a sheath where the TAVR is transported on. The device passes through blood vessels upon entry until it arrives at designated valve for replacement.

The maternity belt is not good for small framed people (too much material and the Velcro hangs) or larger framed people (only goes to 46”).

A maternity support belt can provide support for every pregnant woman. For many, exercising stretches or maintaining a straight posture can be a challenge during pregnancy. Once your back gets sore, especially for mothers-to-be who wear twins or more, wearing a support belt can be a real painkiller. It supports the back with a strap wrapped under the belly and around the back. The belt lifts the belly, minimizing the apparent weight. Since the belt is often wider around the back, the pressure is successfully dispersed over a larger area, resulting in lower back

Endotracheal tube, mechanical ventilator, central venous catheter, invasive pressure monitors, ECG cable, oxygen saturation monitor, Foley catheter, drain tubes, chest tubes, percutaneous pacemaker, and peripheral intravenous line. These are just an example of cables and tubes that can be attached to a single patient who is treated in an intensive care unit (ICU) and most of them trigger an alarm if a patient moves like a normal human being. Needless to say, it is evident for nurses that these patients suffer from these wires and tubes, unfamiliar environment surrounded by the constant multiple mechanical noises, and interruption of rest caused by nursing cares, treatments, diagnostic tests, and procedures although all of them are meant to be life-saving.

uses a thin and flexible catheter that is placed into a blood vessel through a small cut. A trained doctor

Prophylaxis against DVT is an important aspect of nursing care and can be achieved using mechanical methods such as TEDs, SCDs and pharmacological methods, for example, subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) (Walker & Lamont, 2008). The key to preventing DVT formation in any patient is to promote perfusion (Maiocco, 2008). In the surgical patient who is non ambulant, TEDs are often used as mechanical prophylaxis of DVT in the lower limb either alone or in combination with other external compression devices or medications. If used alone TEDs have been shown to reduce the relative risk of DVT in surgical patients by 60-80% (Miller, 2011). TEDs exert an even and sustained regressive pressure to the legs, with gradient pressure, decreasing from the ankle to the knee and thigh. This physiological mechanism has the double action of increasing the venous blood flow velocity and preventing venous stasis. TEDs effectively decrease the overall cross-sectional area of the venous system of the lower limbs and increases the linear blood velocity (Autar, 2009).
