Introduction

Patient health outcome is influenced by different factors. One of these factors is the nursing staff-patient ratio. Nurse staffing and how it affects the patient and nurse outcomes is of major concern to the hospital administrators and policy makers. This can be linked to the findings of several researches done relating to the outcomes of nurse-patient ratios. Since delivery of high-quality patient care is a key motivating factor for managers, understanding this myriad of issues and providing key solutions will be a beneficial step towards restructuring the nurse-patient relationship within the health care system. The review paper by (Patternson, 2011) pointed ...

Abstract

Nursing Process Theory as deliberated by Orlando looks at the interaction existing between a patient and a nurse, validation of perception and how the nursing process can be used to come up with outcomes that are positive or improvement in patients. The main focus that Orlando had in mind was to provide a clear definition of the function of nursing. The theory has been one of the most effective theories that can be practiced by nurses. The use of this theory enables the nurse to keep her focus on the patient alone. It comes out as a very concise, clear and a theory that ...

Introduction

Pain is one of the common problems that affect many old people worldwide (Tse, Leung & Ho, 2012). Despite the high number of old people who are affected by it, this condition is normally undertreated. According to the Maslow Hierarchy Model of Needs, the high pain prevalence is likely to affect negatively the fulfillment of the psychological needs (Tse, Leung & Ho, 2012). This challenge comes in the wake of an increase in the life expectancy of senior citizens aged 65 years and above in the past few decades. Since 1999, the life expectancy of these group has improved by 11 ...

Skin-to-Skin Contact for Neonates
The separation of mother and neonate for non-urgent medical reasons is a growing trend in nursing practice. However, research has indicated that the practice can have a deleterious long term effect on the healthy infant and mother with regard to breast feeding, cardio-respiratory stability, and blood glucose levels (Moore, Anderson, Bergman, & Dowswell, (2014). The solution to the problem is to initiate skin-to-skin contact at birth (Moore, et al., 2014). The nursing focused plan is to introduce the practice of skin-to-skin contact following birth, which entails placing the naked infant prone on the ...

Abstract

Nursing is an evidence-based practice. Nursing research provides evidence for nursing theories and concepts. In the proposed study, the role of hourly rounding in improving the quality of healthcare and patients’ perception is evaluated. This practice is proactive in nature; instead of nurses waiting for patients’ to press the light call button, they visit the patients’ and address their needs. If hourly rounding is not executed, the quality of care will go down, nurses’ health and wellbeing will be compromised, and patients’ satisfaction levels will shrink. A reduction in patient satisfaction rate, as well as a deterioration in the quality ...

Abstract

Making assignments is a strategy which every manager must develop for accurate allocation of staffing in health care facilities. Due to the necessity for twenty four hour care it is most important that each shift has the correct patient staff ratio. However, this is easier said than done since so often it is difficult to please every category of staff on the clinical areas. This difficulty is not exclusive to nursing homes, but affects every level of health care delivery. In this research paper the writer will outline methods involved in making assignments in nursing homes; role of persons responsible ...

Amongst mentally ill patients at high risk for early readmission, does the utilization of a multi-component transition care plan as compared to usual care help to improve early readmission rates?

Abstract

The early hospital readmission rate in a 30-bed psychiatric unit in California is 25%. This figure is higher than the 13% reported in the literature for high-income countries like the US (Vigod et al., 2013). Early readmissions are problematic as they are costly and disruptive to the personal and professional lives of patients and their family members. In addition, they are construed to be negative patient outcomes and negative indicators of ...

Psychiatric mental health nurses (PMHNs) are responsible for assessing the mental health needs of individuals and developing a nursing diagnosis and plan of care. While PMHNs usually implement nursing processes relevant to the patients’ needs, advanced practice registered nurses in psychiatric care can also prescribe medicine and conduct psychotherapy. According to a study by Marks, Hallam, Philpott, and Connolly (1975), PMHNs who were trained in behavioral psychotherapy for neurotic disorders proved to be as effective as psychologists and psychiatrists working in the field. Although the nurses’ effectiveness in providing treatment has been confirmed, the experiences of patients who received treatment from ...

INTRODUCTION

Every year, many lives are usually lost due to the spread of infections in the hospitals. Although all hospitals have infection control procedures and policies, the risk of infections seems to be impossible to completely eliminate. In the course of my clinical nursing experience, I have noted that these infections that are mostly picked up during a patients stay in the hospital mostly ranges from lung infections, urinary tract infections, Methicilin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), and blood stream infections among many others (Amos & Waugh,2010). These are commonly known as hospital-acquired infections (HIA). In this paper, I will expound on the ...

It will be devoid of the characteristic features of an experimental ...

Care giving for a patient living with dementia

Majority of patients suffering from dementia are cared for in community settings either by their spouse, children or significant others. Care giving has its merits and demerits on both the persons with dementia and on the caregivers. Whilst in some few cultures it is viewed in positive light and as something that brings satisfaction for the caregivers, care giving especially for the elderly is a strenuous responsibility and families which are involved in care giving feel this strain. Nevertheless, members who participate in giving care to those who are terminally ill must not let their burn out affect the quality ...

Pain management in elderly patients is a challenge, and when elderly patients suffer from dementia, pain treatment becomes even more difficult because of the communication problems with such patients. Almost 50 percent of the elderly patients admitted to hospitals complain of pain, and of these 20 percent complain of severe pain (Monroe and Mion, 2012). However, research has documented the under-detection and under-treatment of pain in patients with dementia (Cunningham, McClean, and Kelly, 2010). It has also been found that systematic use of analgesics in elderly dementia patients can reduce their level of agitation within acute care settings (Hirsch, 2011). ...

Technology in nursing has been touted as a means for promoting the free exchange of information as it protects the privacy of patients and improves efficiency and quality of care (Agrawal, 2009). However, the potential benefits of technology have not yet been realized fully largely because of lack of adoption of standardized technology for creating the needed infrastructure for attaining these goals (Blumenthal & Tavenner, 2010). Some nurses have only seen the various technological changes in the nursing profession as just normal changes but have not utilized these changes for the benefit they come with (Carayon et al. 2010). The compelling ...

SITUATION: IS THIS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE LEGISLATED?

An identified community nursing issue is the need to protect public hospitals.
This follows the experience of nurses employed in public hospitals who are fighting to improve staffing, to win good contracts and to be able to stop work place violence. This calls for the establishment of a strong public health care system whereby the community can receive quality health care (Roux and Judith, 227). The strategy to achieve the same is via minimization of cuts and creation of more winnings on improvement.
Rather that spending more time blaming the existing policies, inadequate funds and the existing working environment, ...

Grief and nursing personnel

A.
The event of patient death inevitably invites a feeling of remorse and grief among the caregivers. Constant or prolonged contact with patients creates a sense of bonding between the patients and the caregiver. This mutual bond develops and grows with time. When a patient dies eventually, there is a sudden feeling of loss by the nurse. Though nurses’ characteristics vary, a great number of nurses who take care of patients in death beds experience this feeling on occasions of patient death. There is a dearth of research as to the exact nature of characteristics that are inherent in the nurses who experience a feeling ...

Part 1: Table

Part 2: Summary
Hospital readmissions are a perfect indication of the quality of care within healthcare settings. They are usually attributed to missing links in the nursing process which are attributed to professional neglect or ignorance, policy loopholes or even patient-based aspects that do not confine to the requirements of desired quality of care. In the contemporary healthcare setting, and more particularly within the US, the Affordable Care Act adoption led to a situation where readmission rates as well as hospital acquired illnesses were tied to the quality of care as key indicators. This was within the concept that ...
