Blooms Research and Response Jennifer Crane NUR/427 June 24th, 2013 Gina Stephens Blooms Research and Response Blooms Taxonomy of Education is a communication between caregivers for patient education and related issues to patient care. The research done by Bloom is a valuable tool for Nurses to communicate with staff members and their patients. There are three domains involved with taxonomy: Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor. Each of these domains measure the level of understanding achieved. In this paper will teach how learn how Bloom’s Taxonomy applies in a case study, how it is a benefit to nursing instructions and will describe each domain.
Assessment is a systematic process using a rational method of planning to identify a patient’s health and any actual or potential problems that need to be met and to provide interventions to meet those needs. (Berman et al, 2010) A comprehensive assessment establishes a database of information relating to the patient including visual observations during initial interview including, skin condition, cloths, hair, hygiene, demeanor and presence of pain etc. During the interview the nurse should gather family history and both subjective and objective data to establish baseline data as a reference point and an indicator to the effectiveness of interventions. (Berman et al, 2010) Subjective data is what the patient thinks, feels and believes and can also be referred to as the symptoms including itching, pain and worry or anxiety. Objective data is measured during the physical examination; it can be seen, heard, smelt, felt, observed, tested or measured against an excepted standard, including: skin color, bowel sounds, blood pressure, temperature, level of pain, urine analysis etc.
The chosen principles are: Understanding your patients Motivations, Listening to your patient, and Empowering your patient. Finally, this essay will highlight and discuss the contribution of Motivational Interviewing to nursing practice. ‘Health Promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. To reach a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, an individual or group must be able to identify and to realise aspirations, to satisfy needs and to change or cope with the environment’ (http://www.who.int/healthpromotion/Milestones_Health_Promotion_05022010, 2009). Health Promotion works through several actions involving setting priorities, making decisions, planning strategies and enforcing them to achieve better health.
This helps reduce the chances of providing unnecessary treatments or tests on a patient, and helps in diagnosis of a patient. You will also find encounter notes that are filled out by the physician, nurses and/or medical provider. These notes on this form help the physician, nurses, and medical providers to keep up to date on the last treatments, visits, and medications that were previously received. In these records you will also find consent and directives forms. These forms are for the patient to sign stating they acknowledge their rights under HIPPA and the Medicare acts.
Assessment Tool Analysis Paper Assessment tools are used to evaluate and help with the intervention of a patient’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. They enable medical practitioners to help the vulnerable make informed and appropriate choices for a normal life. Assessment tools can be useful in improving family dynamics, building more cohesive relationships, and promoting healthier lifestyles. There are many different types of assessment tools, some are more effective than others and it is the responsibility of the practitioner to determine the tool that best fits the dynamics of their patient's particular situation. Jean Watson is recognized for her theories on human caring and the way nurses give care.
No matter what profession or what role you assume to be safe and effective the work must be intentional. The risk for errors and poor handoff can be greatly reduced when the effectiveness and communication improves within the team. A nurse can take an active and contributing position with an interdisciplinary team by effective two-way communication, valuing the input of the other team members, and the sharing of a common goal. Nurses are responsible for the handoff of patients each shift and are required to notify physicians throughout the shift for new orders and updates on patient conditions. “A critical communication tool that can help during briefing and debriefings is the SBAR tool.
We intend to ask a series of health care professionals such as neurologists, nurses, physio therapists, occupational therapists, speech & language pathologists, social workers and case managers to observe an effective sustainable treatment and management of a stroke patient. We will also be asking stroke victims to participate in the study; we will have to determine whether they are mentally and cognitively capable of providing informed consent, before approaching
Ideally, discharge planning should start before or on admission to ensure the timely provision of appropriate services. The aim is to assess, plan, coordinate and evaluate patient-focused, evidence-based and cost-effective care for patients leaving the hospital. With staff shortages and a high turnover of patients, discharge planning takes on particular relevance. Ineffective communication between hospital and community staff is not new, as research has shown (Skeet, 1970; Nixon et al, 1998; Waters, 1987). To avoid misunderstandings, close contact with the multidisciplinary and primary health care teams should be maintained.
Acute care looks at the patients’ symptoms, test results and diagnosis along with evidence based practice to make a care and treatment plan to restore patients function. The RN may be specialized to work in certain areas of care that require experience and knowledge. The RN responsibility in acute care is to manage pain, coordinate patient care, minimize infection, and improve hospital discharge to prevent readmission in raising cost to the hospital and insurance companies. (www.inqri.org) Prevention, detection and available resources about illness are important education topics the RN teaches the patients and family members when in the acute setting. With poor prognosis of chronic disease acute care may not get the results needed for a patient to get back to baseline so they become reliant of medical professionals and nurses for care.
A. Advance Quality Patient Care Patient quality of care can be advanced throughout the hospital by active participation of staff with the use of nursing-sensitive indicators. It can be accomplished by educating staff of what nursing sensitive indicators are, how they help improve the quality of care, and how they impact nursing care. For example, pressure ulcer incidence is one of the indicators, and it involves the amount of ulcers that develop during patient hospital stay (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, n.d.). The staff should know that it is an indicator and needs to be reported to the appropriate personnel so that it can be tracked.
