Q

What are the 4 advantages of Care bundles?

A

Q

What are the 7 disadvantages of Care bundles?

A
  1. May not take into account individual patient

Q

Describe 4 sources of information required to effectively asses a patient

19
Q

What is the nursing diagnosis?

A

A nurse identifying the patient’s actual + potential needs

20
Q

What is a nursing model?

A

A system that can be used to provide a structure for assessing the patient + standardising the nursing care planned

21
Q

How does effective goal setting assist in devising a care plan?

A
  • Assists in identifying nursing priorities + long-term aims
  • Provides structure for evaluation
  • Aids in identifying most appropriate nursing intervention for a particular problem
22
Q

What 4 factors influence the timescale for evaluation of each nursing intervention?

A
  1. Severity of patient’s condition
  2. Age of patient
  3. Normal frequency of the acitivity
  4. Timescale of each goal/aim
23
Q

What 3 pieces of information may be required in order to effectively evaluate the efficacy of the nursing intervention?

  2. Nursing observations + clincial examination
  3. Vet information
24
Q

How is the information from the evaluation used?

A
  • It identifies which nursing interventions have been successful + by how much
  • This is then used to decide whether to:
    1. Change the intervention
    1. Alter the frequency
    1. Adapt it

  • Therefore revising the care plan
