nursing interventions in adult health

Nursing Students Student Assist

Published

Hello Nurses :nurse:,

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!! :eek:

Hi again :)

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.
