COX’S CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF NURSING DIAGNOSIS

COX’S CLINICAL

APPLICATIONS OF

NURSING DIAGNOSIS

The final concern that led to the writing of the book was our desire to focus on nursing actions and nursing care, not medical care and medical diagnosis. We strongly believe and support the vital role of nurses in the provision of health care for our nation, and so we have focused strictly on nursing in this book. After all, the majority of health-care providers are nurses, and statistics consistently show the general public has high respect for them.1 In a 2004 poll conducted by USA Today,2 the public considered nursing the most honest profession and trusted the information that nurses give them. This increases the importance of utilizing a standard nursing language to provide the foundation for quality nursing care and continued development of evidence-based practice.

Diagnoses, Prioritized Interventions, and Rationales

The American Nurses Association (ANA) Social Policy Statement of 1980 was the first to define nursing as the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual and potential health problems.

This definition, when combined with the ANA Standards of Practice, has provided impetus and support for the use of nursing diagnosis. Defining nursing and its effect on client care supports the growing awareness that nursing care is a key factor in client survival and in the maintenance, rehabilitative, and preventive aspects of healthcare. Changes and new developments in healthcare delivery in the last decade have given rise to the need for a common framework of communication to ensure continuity of care for the client moving between multiple healthcare settings and providers. Evaluation and documentation of care are important parts of this process.

This book is designed to aid the practitioner and student nurse in identifying interventions commonly associated with specific nursing diagnoses as proposed by NANDA International (formerly the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association).

These interventions are the activities needed to implement and document care provided to the individual client and can be used in varied settings from acute to ommunity/home care.

Nursing Care Plan Guide

This book is designed for nursing students who will find the plans of care helpful as they learn and develop skills in applying the nursing process and using nursing diagnoses.
 It will complement their classroom work and support the critical thinking process. The book also provides a ready reference for the practicing nurse as a catalyst for thought in planning, evaluating, and documenting care.

Rationales for the nursing actions, which are not required in the customary plan of care, are included to assist
the nurse in deciding whether the interventions are appropriate for an individual client. Additional information is
provided to further assist the nurse in identifying and planning for rehabilitation as the client progresses toward
discharge and across all care settings. A bibliography is provided as a reference and to allow further research as desired.

It is impossible to over-emphasize the crucial nature of note-keeping in A&E. An average junior doctor or nurse will be involved directly in the treatment of up to 3000 new patients during a 6 month period. With the passage of time, it is impossible to remember all aspects relating to these cases, but there may be a requirement to give evidence in court, several years after the initial event. The only reference will be the notes made much earlier.

Basic life support is the maintenance of an airway and the
support of breathing and the circulation without using
equipment other than a simple airway device or protective
shield. A combination of expired air ventilation (rescue
breathing) and chest compression is known as
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which forms the basis of
modern basic life support. The term “cardiac arrest” implies a
sudden interruption of cardiac output, which may be reversible
with appropriate treatment. It does not include the cessation of
heart activity as a terminal event in serious illness; in these
circumstances the techniques of basic life support are usually
inappropriate.
Survival after cardiac arrest is most likely to be the outcome
in the following circumstances: when the event is witnessed;
when a bystander summons help from the emergency services
and starts resuscitation; when the heart arrests in ventricular
fibrillation; and when defibrillation and advanced life support
are instituted at an early stage. Basic life support is one link in
this chain of survival. It entails assessment followed by action—
the ABC: A is for assessment and airway, B is for breathing, and
C is for circulation.
