I also posted this in the student forums but have not gotten any responses yet. So thought I would try this thread. I have a paper due for my BSN class which is due this Wednesday. Tonight is the only time that I have to work on it because I work and have a child and have classes during the week. I am stuck on an idea for a topic. Once I have a topic, then I can quickly do the research and write the paper. Please if anyone has an idea please share.
Here is the assignment: Select a nursing intervention related to an area of adult health dicussed in this course. For each area students should find 2 research articles that either support or discredit the identified nursing interventions. The research will be discussed in class and a 2-3 page summary will be submitted to the instructor.
Ok, so 2-3 pages is not bad. But I can not think of any good topics. I spent all day saturday endlessly searching the internet and library catalogs. Please help!!
Now you got me stumped. What do you mean by clamping of foleys with large outputs after they are inserted? Is this one of those old school nursing techniques? I never heard of it. So I understand: you mean they insert the foley like normal... it drains a large volume of urine... so then they clamp it? Then what happens when the bladder is full again? This doesn't make sense :) I hope you are still here so you can explain. :) thanks.
lol it is very old school. When a Foley is inserted if you start to get a large return, you clamp the Foley after say 1000 or 1500 cc for a while then let it drain again. It is supposed to prevent bladder spasms or problems from fluid shifts. Google it and you will probably get a lot of info..I have even seen it discussed on this site. Sorry I can't be of more help, I am actually at work right now and this web site isn't even loading right.
hey southern... now I know what you meant by that... and it makes totaly sense... seems like it could do what it's supposed to do... I will google it. I am curious to know what the "opposing" sides say about it. That would have been a great topic too! Wished I talked to you sooner :)) My paper is written now heehe thanks again!
