What are Nursing Implications?

Nursing Students Student Assist Nursing Q/A

Can anyone help me to figure out what Nursing Implications are and how to go about forming them or finding them?

I understand how they apply to meds, but what about for everything else?

Thanks!

I am writing a paper on type 2 diabetes treatment adherence . I have reviewed research findings and found that common themes are related to treatment adherence. Such as, Knowledge deficit of disease, understanding, health care provider/patient relationships, and education.

Part of my assignment was to discuss nursing implication for nursing practice in the hospital context and then provide nursing interventions.

I am having a really hard time finding examples of these. I imagine that knowledge deficit is vital as patients are expected to manage blood glucose monitoring, diet and medications...But i am not sure how to relate this type of information to nursing implications. Maybe I am just unsure of how to link my key themes to nursing implications. I know some nursing interventions to aide, but the implications....

Thank you for any advice you can provide in advance.

What are the nurse's responsibility to provide health education? How would the nurse know what was needed? Are there other resources within the hospital that the nurse could draw upon to help this patient? What would the nurse do about these?

Okay, so I understand nursing implications are things I need to know and take into consideration about something. So my question is, what would be nursing implications for isolation precaution adherence ? Im doing a PICO question about having visitors sign in and have a brief education session and if it would help decrease hospital acquired disease and infection.

Hi guys,

First year student here! I just needed some ideas on nursing implications. We're suppose to be writing a paper on an Evidence Based Topic and I chose Delayed Cord Clamping as my topic. I got into this topic when I was talking to one of my patients and she was saying how she had done this with one of her births. I looked it up and thought it would be a great paper to write!!

But one of our requirements for our paper is to include nursing implications? I'm not sure how I would incorporate that with delayed cord clamping other than patient education?

Anyone have any ideas? Or should I just change my topic... =(

What does cord clamping do for the baby? How could this impact infant care? What are s/s to be aware of?

(I'm thinking possibly higher rbc breakdown leads to possible higher bilirubin leads to...)

How will you have to alter your practice to accommodate this? Assessments, VS, managing complications, etc. Interdisciplinary issues like working with NICU, unit education, staff/patient/provider acceptance, protocol changes, etc.

What patient populations benefit the most from delayed clamping? What barriers are in place that make it harder for these babies to get DCC, and is it possible to facilitate it? Are there any contraindications or special considerations to delayed cord clamping?

Rule of thumb - scope of Nursing practice is treatment of patient/family reactions (physical, emotional, spiritual) to actual or potential changes in health status. So, for instance - if this procedure is different than the patient had with other deliveries, she will probably react with anxiety and concern for the well-being of her infant.

Your text books, or google.

Thank you Natania---I am off and moving again.
