New Interventions for Nursing Diagnosis

Published

Hey guys, so I have a presentation next week and for part of the presentation I have to find a nursing research article (within 5 years, written by at least 1 nurse, all that jazz) that has a NEW nursing intervention in it that relates to my nursing diagnosis. Does that make sense? So basically, for decreased cardiac output I have to find a new nursing intervention. It can't be in a current textbook. (It can be for any of the three below though) And I just need one intervention. Anyway, I have looked everywhere I can possibly think of and I cannot find anything that works. If you guys have any articles it would be greatly appreciated. The three nursing diagnosis I have are below. Please help!!

Risk for decreased cardiac output related to irregular contractions of the heart secondary to cardiac arrest.

Acute confusion related to hypoxic areas in the brain secondary to cardiac arrest AEB patient experiencing short term memory loss, patient not remembering the period of cardiac arrest, and patient not being able to think critically.

Situational low self-esteem related to inability to play contact sports secondary to ICD placement AEB patient stating he is frustrated with his current situation and patient appearing withdrawn.

Look at the current edition of NANDA-I. The evidence & research is listed throughout the text.

Do you know where I can find that? I'm not familiar with that. And if the interventions are currently published in NANDA I cannot use them. They have to be new nursing interventions.

NANDA-I is the 2015-17 and is the definitive source. To not be able to use the research references in NANDA-I is ludicrous to say the least. Anything relevant to nursing diagnosis would reference, be referenced by or submitted to NANDA.

As a student you can get it with free shipping from Amazon or as an eBook from Amazon or BN/nook
