What are Nursing Implications?

They're nursing responsibilities and what you as the RN should be assessing for. IE - if someone had a cardiac cath, a nursing implication of that should be to make sure they are not allergic to the contrast dye, to assess their vitals when they come back from the procedure, to check the puncture site often, teaching r/t pre and post procedure care (keeping the affected leg straight, drinking lots of water if they aren't a renal pt), checking pedal pulses, etc. It's the RN's job to do this.

Where do I go to get the Nursing Implications for CVA, Scoliosis, Rheumatoid arthritis?

Your text books, or google.

Mine are in the textbook. If you read the sections thoroughly, they tell you what needs to be done. You can also look at the suggested care plans.

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

Can anyone give me any nursing implications for administering Vancomycin (for MRSA) intravenously to a young woman in jail?

Look up the drug in your drug book, and look at nursing considerations for that drug.

I am doing a power point presentation and am required to describe nursing implications for Plan B-One Step. I have been unable to find anything about it. Can someone please help? I am thinking there are probably not many, if any, because this is an OTC drug for over 17 yrs old. Thanks

perhaps consider education regarding more effective forms of birth control, such as pills, iud's, depo, things of that nature. std's could be a consideration if a condom was not used, and something to consider..

There's a small section on it in Davis's Drug Guide (and no, I don't work for them lol This is the second time tonight I've referenced it.) You could generally advise about blood pressure, smoking, all of those things that you would consider for a normal contraceptive administration.

PLan B is progesterone only, so it does not have the same contraindications for HBP as a combination BC method will. Just as some added info.
