The nurse would use the 0.05mg/kg IV dose of Morphine, and reassess her pain afterwards. If her pain was not relieved, as evidenced by the FLACC scale, she could then give her another dose of the 0.05mg/kg Morphine. The only way to tell if this choice of pain management was successful would be to keep reassessing her with the FLACC scale. If the number kept decreasing with each assessment, her pain would be improving. It is important to keep her comfortable, but it is also important to give only enough medication to do so.
Summary In summary, this research found that there was some benefit of using Vitamin C for improving hemoglobins in patients with ESRD receiving hemodialysis. It also showed that using vitamin C decreased the amount of epogen needed in dialysis patients. This topic would benefit in longer clinical trials with larger groups of participants to study more accurately the effects Vitamin C use has in relation to hyperoxalemia in dialysis
They can stop people from suffering from hallucinations and dilusions , they can help with depression and they also help people who suffer from mood swings. 4. Explain the importance of recording and reporting side effects/ adverse reactions to medication. It is very important to record any side affects to monitor the situation. If the side affects are reoccurring then staff must seek medical attention and request a medication review so that the service user stops experiencing them.
Jinx the different types of treatments that are out there to help treat the endometriosis. Showing Mrs. Jinx that there are medications she may be able to take to help with the pain and with the endometriosis spreading, as some medications like birth control can cause your body to release less estrogen and progestin's which will prohibit the growth of the endometriosis cells. I also explain to her that sometimes once she becomes pregnant that it will slow down the spread of the endometriosis as she is not having her menstrual cycles. I can tell she is feeling a little relieved, so I go on explaining that when the doctor does the laparoscopy that he might laser off the endometriosis that is visible and this might prevent it from coming back. I explain to her that with endometriosis that it is a patient to patient treatment plan as everyone is different.
I agree with the reductions in costs, even in a medical error. I liked the way they conducted the research and how they handled their findings, yet when they found that EMRs did not really prevent medical errors and to not increase patient safety, I had to disagree. If an EMR is correctly formatted and records are kept precisely and consistently, then the safety of a patient would have to increase. EMRs keep track of medication allergies, mental disorders, chronic illnesses, current and pat medications and procedures, all this would be a tool to correctly prescribe, treat and care for a patient, reducing medical errors just by having knowledge of their
Then position and drape patient as needed, adjust bed to proper height, and orient patient to call light/bed control system. Simultaneously adjust side rails. Explain to patient that the nurse will conduct hourly rounds to reassess for fall risks, provide toileting needs, and attend to symptom management. Also provide clear instructions to patient and family regarding mobility restrictions and ambulation and transfer techniques. Briefly explain to patient the specific safety measures to prevent falls (e.g., wear well-fitting, flat footwear with nonskid soles; dangle feet for a few minutes before standing; walk slowly; ask for help if dizzy or weak).
Materials: The main goal is early removal of catheter; delegating role to the appropriate personnel (see Appendix C). 2. The measurement before and after implementation of the propose solution (see Appendix C), gathering data from hospital records as it related to incidence of CAUTI over three month, six month and one year-period. Methods: Meeting was head with the administrative personnel and nursing managers to help establish the guidelines for all employees working with patients and educating them on the important of preventing catheterization which leads to CAUTI. The concept of team building will be the central of the discussion of these nursing meetings and coordinate patient care with interdisciplinary action.
Fistula in the wrist is because they do usually take in this location and it reduces the risk of the patient having to go back in the hospital for more surgery. 10. Identify two ways you observed the PACU nurse act as the patient advocate A. Monitors the patient’s pain and administers appropriate medication to control patient’s pain B. Retains the patient in the PACU while monitoring the vital signs, respiratory function, blood pressure and level of consciousness to decrease the risk for injury 11.
PRECISION ATTACHMENTS: AN EFFICIENT WAY TO ESTHETICALLY MEET THE MAXILLOFACIAL CHALLENGE- A CASE REPORT Abstract: Prosthetic rehabilitation with an obturator for a total or subtotal maxillectomy patient is a challenging task, as there is minimal or no residual maxillary structures to provide support, retention, and stability to the prosthesis. This clinical report describes the prosthodontic management of a patient who underwent hemimaxillectomy due to ameloblastic fibroma, with the use of precision attachments, compensating for the lost retention and support. This technique utilizes the natural teeth remaining, for support, stability and retention of the prosthesis in a more efficient way. This technique could provide efficient function and
So many people are sickened with disease, yet most only know to take a medication to fix the problem when something as simple as exercise might be a very important component in trying to fix whatever ails them. The research question is “How does exercise benefit health and help manage disease and how much and what kind is needed to maintain health?” Exercise can benefit
