Bedside Nursing Case Study

(Koivu el al. (2012).consider clinical supervision an intervention aimed to reducing job stress and preventing burnout as well as it is a stimulating innovative practice development which may enhance work performance, motivation and job satisfaction Berg et al. (1994) investigated burnout among nurses on two wards during one year of systematic clinical supervision in Sweden. Clinical supervision was combined with the implementation of individualized care for nurses working with severely demented patients and compared with a similar control ward. Data were collected prior to intervention, at six and12 months.

Several studies have shown a result of increase in the risk of medication error from 2.3% which has no interruptions to 4.7% with interruptions. The data gathered imply that although errors can occur without interruptions, you will most likely decrease the chance of error if you reduce interruptions during the procedure. ( cited in Susan M. Hohenhaus, MA, RN, FAEN and Stephen M. Powell, MS (2008 )

These scores are provided to nurse leaders so they can see how their department is scoring among patients. Nurse-patient communication is one of the areas patients get asked about. After implementing bedside report, a cardiothoracic unit, reported their nurse-patient communication score was at an 80% all because of bedside hand-off (Lindsay, 2015). Nurse leaders can develop an SBAR template for their department to use. Nurses report that with this tool there were less interruptions and less time spent on report (Cornell et al., 2013). The SBAR tool prompts the off-going nurse on what to report to the on-going nurse.

•Nurse safety is significantly

The data were obtained for oral health from clinical examination, approximately about 128, 990 children from age

Bedside reporting has been shown to improve communication and quality of handoff between nurses. It is also credited to promote patient safety and improve patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction, patient safety and nursing communication and quality of report from a 32 bed surgical hospital in Dallas, Texas is to be evaluated using various surveys, HCAHPS scores, incident reports, and call light logs. Data will be collected 2 months prior and 6 months following the implementation of bedside report. Scores and communication survey results will be reviewed in this time period to determine increases or decreases from pre-implementation results using traditional nurse-to-nurse report..

1999). METHODS: Sample and setting: The target population is all registered nurses working in critical care units (intensive care unit ICU, coronary care unit CCU) in Jordan. The accessible population was 83 registered nurses works in critical care units (ICU and CCU) at two privet hospitals in Amman, data collected in April and May, 2006.

Second week into second semester nursing school, how exciting. The nursing student went to Northeastern Plains Homecare. At this rotation the nursing student, experienced many different achievements, as well as many challenges. A different arrangement of nursing skills was accomplished in my two days at clinicals. Some of the nursing skills the nursing student were able to observe were the wound care on an unstageable ulcer, preform venipuncture for PT/INR testing, and watching MED boxes be filled.

The Geeta case study shows that most patients need compassion, empathy and a feeling of being wanted asked or supported as individual and not treated as a patient (Shapiro, 2008). Lack of all this could result in self induced isolation, loneliness, aggression and distress (Frank, 2004).This calls for a shift in the paradigm towards the culture of accepting things at face value although some have been documented. It also needs to recognize whilst giving due weight to “the complexity of human dynamics and its changeable nature” (Youngson, 2007).Communication between a nurse, carer and a patient is and will remain the only way that is non clinical and the least expensive towards building and cementing the patient carer

At the end of part II, subjects were requested to select the 5 most important indicators of the anxiety and to rank the indicators in descending order from first to fifth most important. • Then the nurses were asked to describe how often they use each strategy for nursing interventions to manage anxiety for critically ill patients (part III). The reported nursing interventions were categorized as care communication and support strategies or technique strategies. Two blank areas were provided so that subjects could list other strategies that they may use in clinical practice to manage anxiety among their critical care patients.

Most healthcare facilities integrate hourly rounding to help reduce falls. A quasi- experimental study was conducted by (Olrich, Kalman, & Nigolian, 2012) to determine the efficiency of hourly rounding in hospitalized patients on a medical-surgical unit. The researchers compromised of nurse managers and a clinical nurse specialist educated the nurses and nursing assistants on the importance of hourly rounding and questions to ask when performing hourly round. Some of the questions asked during the rounds included toileting assistance, pain, position and making sure personal items were within reach. At the completion of the study, there was a 23% decrease in falls and an increase in patient satisfaction on the

Patients and their family members should be preferably educated by the community mental health nurse about the illness, its course, and prognosis as well as the efficacy, the potential side effects and costs of various drugs. Other family interventions should include support, problem-solving training and crisis intervention. There was robust and consistent evidence that there was a decrease in the risk of relapse at the end of treatment and up to 12 months following treatment. Moreover, it also reduced hospital admission during treatment and the severity of symptoms both during and up to 24 months following the intervention. (NICE, 2014)

Week Eight Response to Jurgensen Michael, I chose the Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) role in the emergency department (ED) for my project as well. However, the CNL facilitating the implementation of care for the ED boarded psychiatric patient is brilliant, and not something I had considered. Likewise, our ED boards psychiatric patients, frequently for numerous days prior obtaining inpatient placement for them. In various facilities a physician assistant (PA) assumes the responsibilities for establishing ED boarded psychiatric patient care, however, the CNL stands as a considerably superior individual to expedite care during the transitional period for the ED psychiatric patient boarding for extended periods (Jayaram, 2006).

Then utilizing the results the clinic can drill down to the patients receiving beta-blockers, diabetes (eye & kidney exam) to determine if the correct interventions were being provided by the health care physician and identify gaps in treatment and then ensure the physician receives reminders on preventable measures to close quality care gaps and improve the quality of care provided to patients (Eddy, Pawlson, Schaff, Peskin, Shcheprov, Dziuba & Eng, 2008). I completed a chart audit of over 200 med advantage patient records this week utilizing CPT codes,ICD-9, progress notes, and lab results for HEDIS measures for HgbA1c (9 every 3 months), Diabetic Eye Exams (yearly), Colonoscopy Exam (every 10 years-unless indicated otherwise), Mammograms (yearly after age 50), BP (controlled < 100), and medication adherence (beta blockers, ACE/ARB, cholesterol, diabetic, etc) and my findings would be reported to BCBS, Humana, Clear River, Health Springs and NCQA. The yearly eye diabetic eye exam can detect retinopathy and help ensure early treatment to prevent blindness, control of BP can reduce MI infraction while yearly colonoscopy and mammograms can detect early signs of cancer and HbbA1c can help detect and identify gaps in diabetes
