Now, let's have a look at the African elephant, the world's largest terrestrial animal, found in 37 different countries across Africa..

Efforts to increase nurses' use of evidence-based practice (EBP) to improve client care in the hospital have failed. Which answers are nurses likely to give when asked why this is occurring? Select all that apply. 1. "I'm not interested in this program." 2. "I don't have time to finish everything I already have to do each shift." 3. "I don't want to practice nursing just like everyone else." 4. "The library at our hospital doesn't have many journals." 5. "If administration wanted us to use EBP, they would get us some more nurses to share the work.".

[Audio] The right choice for documenting the client's medical record after the nurse discovers that the IV heparin has been turned off is option 1: IV heparin restarted. Physician notified. Client's vital signs unchanged. To ensure the safety of the patient, the nurse should always document the accurate facts and the physical status of the patient..

The following documentation was entered in the client's medical record: "The client was found lying on the floor. Dr. X was notified. Apparently, the restraints were improperly applied." Which statement best describes this documentation? 1. Appropriately written 2. Inappropriate because it places blame on an individual 3. Inappropriate because it does not include that the client's family was notified 4. Appropriately written because it only documents the facts.

[Audio] The Risk Management Team in Nursing Informatics has an important role in ensuring patient care and safety. They keep track of and act on any incident or incident reports concerning patient care and security. These can include anything from an unfavorable reaction or injury due to a diagnostic test, a patient leaving the hospital without permission, or a patient claiming they are not yet ready to be discharged. The team also takes into account the expectations of patients and their families concerning meals or transfers from intensive care units (ICU). All of these steps are taken to ensure patient care and safety is taken seriously and that any possible risks of future incidents are minimized..

[Audio] Nursing Informatics provides an essential foundation for the practice of secure patient care, as it enables the evaluation and documentation of vital patient data. Quality management is a crucial element of providing the best possible patient care. Quality management processes make sure that operations are constantly monitored and any required improvements are implemented.

[Audio] When searching for reliable information on wound care, it is essential to ensure that the research is thorough. This includes examining the standards for assessing the intervention, such as verifying the reliability of the studies through multiple studies, and verifying that the research is structured and carried out correctly. By taking these steps, nurses can employ evidence-based practice to guarantee secure patient care..

[Audio] RN-to-client ratio is a strategy used by hospitals to improve the quality of care. Studies have indicated that when a hospital increases their RN-to-client ratio, it leads to a lower client mortality rate, a higher quality of care and fewer nosocomial infections. These results show the positive effects of nursing informatics on patient safety..

[Audio] I, as nurse manager, understand the significance of dealing with all worries related to patient care. When the daughter of a hospitalized client came to my office with a complaint about the care provided on the previous shift, I initiated by asking her to explain what happened, in order to have a clear idea of the situation and present an appropriate response. Evaluating the circumstances correctly is of the utmost importance before making any decisions. This way, we can guarantee safe and excellent care for our patients..

[Audio] Nursing informatics is of utmost importance when it comes to providing safe patient care. The nurse manager is responsible for instituting all safety measures necessary, including prompt reporting of any reportable incident. Such incident could be any unplanned or unexpected occurrence that affects a client, family member, or staff. For example, if a medication was administered to the wrong client, the nurse manager must review this incident with the physician and a risk management committee member by way of nursing informatics. It is our responsibility as healthcare professionals to utilize nursing informatics to protect our patients..

[Audio] Nursing informatics plays a vital role in providing secure patient care in the medical-surgical setting. To assist nurses in the technological elements of their job, a categorisation system of nursing informatics capabilities has been established. This system is divided into three sections: technical, utility, and leadership. Leadership competencies include adhering to behavioral standards such as sustaining secrecy and confidentiality, operating computers and other technological gadgets, dealing with a variety of software programs, and tackling critical thinking scenarios. By getting to know these basic competencies, medical-surgical nurses can use technology to further their practice and enhance patient care..
