    Ebp Task 2 Essay

    The problem presented is pain control in children postoperatively. Currently there are no proven ways to accurately measure postoperative pain in children. Hospital staff tend to under estimate the pain of children. Staff have only the word of patients and caregivers, combined with pain scales, which can be less than reliable due to the fact that many of them are utilizing opinions and visual cues. It is more difficult to gauge the pain of a child, especially under the age of 5, and in nonverbal children. So, the real problem is that many children do not have properly managed pain postoperatively.…

    Electronic Health Record Essay

    Electronic Health Records is the technology that I find most beneficial at work. It helps nurses, doctors and other healthcare providers to access patient information literally for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. EHR allows for a better coordinated care for all patients. The information can be transmitted immediately to other providers. EHR allows nurses and doctors to navigate through patients’ data that is far better than pulling charts on the cabinets and searching through pages of the chart to obtain one or two information. The beauty of EHR is that multiple healthcare providers can access the same records at the same time. There are some short comings about electronic health records such as when the system is off line, documentation…

    Pain: a Balance Between Analgesia and Side Effects

    Pain: a Balance Between Analgesia and Side Effects

    The concepts of this theory are the balance between analgesia and side effects, pain, and side effects themselves. Opioid analgesics often have very unpleasant side effects, so the end result is often patients taking less medication than they actually need, which results in pain not being effectively relieved. The combination of potent analgesics, pharmacological and non-pharmacological adjuvants can allow for the pain relief needed and also help minimize or eliminate unwanted side effects. Nurses can work with the patient to educate them on the side effects of potent medication and help them set realistic goals. This will entail working with both the patient and physician to achieve the results desired.…

    Critical Analysis Paper

    The author thinks that the patient-centric care should include the patient and her or his significant other. She thinks that their collaboration with health professionals will prompt the patients to take responsibility and desire to be involved in their own care and should facilitate care on both sides: patient is an active participant and the providers are paying attention to the needs of the patient. To support this Judy Murphy investigates four practices where technology can help support patient-centric care and help improve patient outcomes. The four practices are: eHealth, primary care, hospital care, and health information exchange (Murphy, 2011).…

    The Role Of Pain Management In Nursing Care

    Pain management is a major concern for nursing care. Not only does controlling pain help the patient rest and heal, it also improves patient satisfaction. Pain management involves more than providing the patient with pain medication, it is an entire nursing process that starts at the time of admission. “A thorough pain history and shared goal setting are critical components of effective pain management that leads to beneficial outcomes” (Glowacki, 2015). Pain history includes past experiences of pain, current and past pain methods that have managed pain effectively, a tolerable level of pain, triggers of pain, and so on. Obtaining this history is imperative for the nurse in order to meet the patient’s pain management goals. This may just be…

    Pain Assessment

    The majority of the nurses that were surveyed utilized the verbal pain assessment tool at almost 90%. Ninety-two percent of the registered nurses assessed pain on each patient in their care, and the notifications to the physician of uncontrolled pain is at a 90% rate. The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that the different populations of patients were assessed, was and could be done so by different assessment tools pertinent to that patient. The findings of this particular study have significant implications for registered nurses in using evidence-based practice to adequately treat patient’s pain. The study suggested that for nurses to properly treat the pain, the populations at hand should be taken into consideration. In learning how different populations perceive pain, nurses were then able to use evidence pain practice to adequately control patient’s…

    Argumentative Essay On Obama Care

    In 2006, an estimated fifty million people lacked medical insurance in the United States of America (Pibel). Uninsured Americans were charged significantly more for basic services and died when medical care could have saved them. Unfortunately, it’s not only the uninsured who suffer in this desperate situation. Of the more than one million, five-hundred thousand bankruptcies filed in the United States before President Barack Obama’s administration, about half were a result of medical bills; of those, three-quarters of filers actually had health insurance (Pibel 1). On March 23 of 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act became law. Also known as “Obamacare,” this law primarily functions to decrease the number of uninsured Americans…

    Effective Communication In Pediatric Children

    workers to understand the nature and the severity of child, congruently, it would be difficult to relieve the discomfort effectively and safely. However, The American Pain Society (Sept. 2001, vol. 8) argued it is important to be sure that children ages between 3 and 7 years, are competent enough to provide information in reporting of location, quality, intensity, and tolerability are accepted. Furthermore, the usage of communication enables an active participation to pediatric patients, its goal is to raise their concerns, ask questions and their adherence to medication regimens and medical interventions (Levetown 2008). For example, the use of patient controlled analgesia (PCA), child can managed his pain because he was properly informed…
