Abstract:

The aim of the study was to investigate the specific aspects of nursing process as applied to emergency surgery in patients with ballistic injuries and household trauma, to determine the risks faced by medical personnel when working with patients in dangerous neighborhoods, to identify nursing strategies in managing aggressive patients, and to define the need for surgical interventions in ballistic injuries and household trauma as part of a research study.

Abstract:

Circadian rhythms, patterns of each twenty-four hour period, are found in most bodily functions. The biological cycles of between 20 and 28 hours have a profound effect on an individual's mood, level of performance, and physical well being. Loss of synchrony of these biological rhythms occurs with hospitalization, surgery and anesthesia. The purpose of this comparative, correlational study was to determine the effects of circadian rhythm disruption in post-surgical recovery. Data were collected during the pre-operative and post-operative periods in the following indices: body temperature, bloo

Abstract:

<p> Delirium in adults aged 65 and older is a common occurrence in the acute care setting and is often unrecognized by bedside nurses. Delirium can trigger a negative cascade of events resulting in an increase in morbidity and mortality, functional decline, longer length of stay, and high rates of post hospital institutionalization and has a significant socioeconomic impact. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to establish a solid foundation using scholarly literature to support the development of a delirium prevention, recognition, and treatment program in the medical-surgical

The study was conducted at a Thai surgical ward to illuminate and describe the culture of the Thai surgical nurse, including the ways in which the organizational culture influences or guides their thinking, decision-making, and actions in a patterned way.

Abstract:

This report focuses on the use of Watson's theory of human caring for Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) patients in acute medical-surgical wards. It discusses the dilemmas facing DNR patients and their nurses and explores the solutions to these dilemmas offered by Watson's theory. Traditional nursing practice places the nurse in a difficult situation by focusing on physical health. The report discusses the philosophical assumptions underlying Watson's theory. These assumptions led Watson to focus on nursing holistically, and to emphasise an integrated approach to nursing, which promotes the comfort of

Abstract:

Nurses may experience job stress and burnout due to the amount of hours worked and demanding schedules. At one hospital, nurse turnover rates were high in medical-surgical units. Surveys and interviews conducted by hospital administration found that the bedside nurses were dissatisfied with scheduling practices and that this dissatisfaction could lead to heightened turnover. The purpose of this project was to determine if the implementation of a self-scheduling model would decrease nurse turnover on a medical-surgical nursing unit.

Abstract:

Millions of people in the United States are living with a serious mental illness or substance abuse disorder. These individuals suffer from a high rate of medical co-morbidities. Because of this, patients hospitalized on medical-surgical units for medical reasons often are living with psychiatric/substance abuse co-morbidities, which are not addressed during their medical hospital admission. These patients can be perceived as difficult and even dangerous by nurses who have not received training or education in mental health care.

Obesity in the United States has increased to epidemic numbers over the last decade. Practitioners need to reverse the trend. To address the problem of depression in obesity, a practice guideline from a bariatric clinic for under-served populations was proposed to an expert panel. The Spell Out on First Use (PHQ-9) screening is a valid and reliable self-screening tool to assist the practitioner in determining the level of depression if any. The PHQ-9 has nine questions. No formal screening existed at the bariatric clinic, and the practice guideline (with algorithm and revised workflow) was pro

Many student nurses are weak in studying medical-surgical nursing because high-order and critical thinking skills are required to understand and incorporate prior knowledge with new knowledge, and they are expected to formulate a holistic nursing care plan.

Abstract:

Hand-off communication from the emergency department (ED) to inpatient nurses is an important process for transfer of safe and quality patient care from one department to another.
