IMPLEMENTING Flashcards
is the action phase in which the nurse performs the nursing interventions.
Implementing
Consist of doing a documenting activities that are the specific nursing actions needed to carry out the interventions
Implementing
What are the three implementing skills?
- Cognitive skills (intellectual skills)
- Interpersonal skills
- Technical skills
include problem solving, decision making, critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and creativity. They are crucial to safe, intelligent nursing care.
cognitive skills (intellectual skills)
Activities used when interacting with others.
Interpersonal skills
Purposeful “hands-on” skills such as manipulating equipment, giving injections, bandaging, moving, lifting, and repositioning clients. These skills are also called tasks, procedures, or psychomotor skills
Technical skills
What are the process of implementing?
R,DE,I,S,DO
- Reassessing the client
- Determining the nurse’s need for assistance
- Implementing the nursing interventions
- Supervising the delegated care
- Documenting nursing activities
Ensure the intervention is still needed.
Reassessing the client
Assess if help is needed for safe implementation.
determining the nurses needs for assistant
Base interventions on scientific knowledge and adapt to the individual client.
Implementing the nursing interventions
Ensure activities have been implemented according to the care plan.
Supervising the delegated care
Record interventions and client responses in nursing progress notes.
Documenting nursing activities
• The nurse is unable to implement the nursing activity safely or efficiently alone (e.g., ambulating an unsteady obese client).
• Assistance would reduce stress on the client (e.g., turning a person who experiences acute pain when moved).
• The nurse lacks the knowledge or skills to implement a particular nursing activity (e.g., a nurse who is not familiar with a particular model of traction equipment needs assistance the first time it is applied)
DETERMINING THE NURSE’S NEED FOR ASSISTANCE.
IMPLEMENTING THE NURSING INTERVENTIONS
• Base nursing interventions on scientific knowledge, nursing research,
and professional standards of care (evidence-based practice) when
these exist.
• Clearly understand the interventions to be implemented and question any that are not understood.
• Adapt activities to the individual client.
• Implement safe care.
• Provide teaching, support, and comfort.
• Be holistic.
• Respect the dignity of the client and enhance the client’s self-esteem.
• Encourage clients to participate actively in implementing the nursing
interventions
