According to the case, as a nurse responsible for the patient as a nurse must be aware that Mrs. Flynn has early dementia and must be observed and check for side rails up to prevent fall and injury. Due to the case that Mrs. Flynn falls from the bed and suffer from a bruise on the forehead because of the negligence of one member of the staff responsible for her. Then, when seeing Mrs. Flynn fall down, a nurse must treat the situation quickly, and stay with the patient and call for an assistant nurse to help her and inform the doctor. (Hicks, 2016) In addition, the nurse should assess the patient because she may develop symptoms later that can show serious changes in their state, and assess the pain and conscious level. Although, If the patient
In this essay I will walk through a clinical assessment of a geriatric patient that has presented to the ED with MODS. I will make special consideration to address pain, electrolyte imbalance, homeostasis and oxygenation. Assessment of a Geriatric Patient with MODS Upon transfer of Mrs. Baker to the emergency room the initial report from the transport personnel will be received and the initial ED assessment starts. This is concurrent, while receiving the report we are able to look at the patient’s general appearance. We are able to determine form the report that her general complaints are an episode of confusion prior to collapsing in the back yard, respiratory distress and tachycardia.
I would also support infection control by cleaning up any spills immediately. A Dietician will also work within the care home and will have roles and responsibilities within the structure. They will evaluate the daily food intake of the residents and then use mathematical calculations to determine the appropriate diet for that individual. They may change the diets for the residents to add more proteins or to change the amount of water they intake. After the dietician calculates a suitable diet they will make recommendations to a physician so he can write the dietary order.
(1) Sickness & Diarrhoea (2) Burns and Scalds. (3) Fractures ands Suspected Fractures. (D5) EXPLAIN THE PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWEDIN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR SUDDEN ILLNESS. (1) Get help as soon as possible example emergency services apply first aid training only if you got it. Make sure the client is as comfortable as can be staff should also protect themself complete accidents or sickness illness form log information in client file and inform seniority/manager of the incident.
Nursing Care Study. The aim of this assignment is to explore the assessment, implementation, planning and also the evaluation of nursing care using a model of nursing, Roper Logan and Tierney. Throughout this assignment I will be focusing on the specific care given to an elderly gentleman who had a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube in situ as a result of a transient ischemic attack (TIA). In this assignment I will also briefly discuss social and medical history and look at the resident’s current situation with an in depth nursing assessment using Roper Logan and Tierney. The main problem being the PEG tube and the residents nutritional status will be established and a structured care plan will be included and a discussion of all the nursing interventions and the reasoning for these interventions.
The medication throughout the hospital should be kept safely locked away and always checked to see if the patients have been given the right amount. If the patient had been given more than the required amount then they could result in severe illness or even worse, death. Surgery Surgery is a health, safety and a security hazard. When getting surgery the doctors or nurses must ensure that the procedure is done correctly as if not done to high standards then the patient could result in getting infected which could lead to illnesses. Also, after the procedure is complete the tools and equipment used must be disposed of properly by being put into the yellow hazard bags and placed into waste bins.
Time to call 911 If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get them to the hospital immediately. What to do if you think someone is having a stroke Immediately call 9-1-1 or the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) number so an ambulance can be sent. Also, check the time so you'll know when the first stroke symptoms appeared. A clot-busting drug called tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) may improve the chances of getting better but only if you get them help straight away. A TIA or transient ischemic attack is a "warning stroke" or "mini-stroke" that produces stroke-like symptoms.
When we went out of the patient’s room, I felt a little strange so I asked my buddied nurse: "Do we need to watch patient eat there pills before we leave". She said: "This patient has been here for a long time. I know she will eat the medications". After my buddied nurse told me her reason, I didn’t say anything, but now I feel very sorry. If the time can go back, I will help the patient eat all of the medications before I leave.
This assignment will analysis the pathophysiology of pain and the related care of severe pain in patients who may be attended by the emergency ambulance services by the use of ketamine as an analgesic agent. This assignment will also explore the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and the routes of administration and rates of absorption of ketamine. The legal issues associated with drug administration and the protocols utilised by paramedics to deliver drugs in the out of hospital setting will be discussed and how prescription drugs can have adverse effects on patients during exacerbation of illness or injury will also be analysed. One of the most vital points to consider in relation to the control of pain and the administration of analgesia in the pre hospital setting is that, in many cases, it is inadequate (Lord and Parsell: 2003 and Hennes, Kim and Pirrallo 2005). It could be said that any delay in handing a patient over to the Accident and Emergency Department, due to a particular busy period or during a major incident, thus delaying in hospital analgesia administration, amplifies the beneficial impact of adequate pre hospital administration of pain relief.
The local health department would be involved and working closely with the healthcare clinic and the local hospital. All those suspected of the infection would be admitted and placed in isolation to prevent further spread of the infection. Approriate isolation precautions would be implemented to ensure proper healthcare interventions and treatment for those affected by the virus. As the community healthcare nurse it will be important to provide some sense of peace to the community once the outbreak is announced. The community healthcare nurse would be part
