This document discusses the transfer of a patient from one unit or hospital to another. It defines a patient transfer as discharging a patient from one unit or agency and admitting them to another without going home in between. The two main types of transfers discussed are between units in the same hospital and between different hospitals. The key steps outlined for an intra-hospital transfer are obtaining a physician order, informing the patient and receiving unit, completing documentation, arranging transportation, and ensuring the receiving unit admits the patient. The nurse's role in the process involves communication, documentation, collecting patient belongings, and assisting in the physical transfer of the patient between units.
Intravenous infusion therapy involves delivering fluids, medications, blood or nutrients directly into a patient's vein. It is used for unconscious patients, to maintain electrolyte balance or provide fluids that cannot be taken orally. The main types of IV solutions are isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic. Isotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure as blood, while hypotonic solutions are weaker and hypertonic solutions are stronger. Potential complications include infiltration of fluid into tissues, phlebitis, infection, air embolism, or fluid overload. Factors like IV tubing position, needle placement in the vein, and flow rate can also affect the procedure.

Documentation and reporting in healthcare involves recording information in patient records and communicating information to other healthcare providers. Patient records contain key identifying and clinical information to provide an accurate record of a patient's care over time. Records are used for communication between providers, planning care, quality assurance, research, education, reimbursement, and legal documentation. Effective documentation and reporting requires following guidelines such as recording factual, dated, legible, permanent, unambiguous information in the proper sequence and manner according to healthcare organization policies.
This document discusses hospital admission procedures, including the types of admission, admission process, preparing the patient unit, transferring patients between wards, and the nurse's role in admission. The types of admission are emergency, routine, and transfers between wards. The admission process involves receiving and assessing the patient, collecting medical and social information, examinations by physicians, and transporting inpatients to their ward. Nurses greet patients, orient them, complete charts, monitor vitals, carry out orders, and ensure patient comfort during the admission process.
The document discusses hospital admission and discharge procedures. It defines admission as allowing a client to stay in the hospital for observation, investigations and treatment. Discharge is when a patient leaves the hospital. There are different types of admissions like emergency and elective, and different types of discharges like planned, transfer, absconding, and death.
The roles and responsibilities of nurses during admission include preparing the room, assessing the patient, documenting information, and making the patient comfortable. During discharge, nurses ensure instructions are understood, belongings are returned, documentation is complete, and transportation is arranged. Proper admission and discharge procedures are important for patient safety, continuity of care, and fulfilling legal and nursing principles.
The document discusses techniques for conducting a physical health assessment. It outlines the purposes of assessment, which include obtaining baseline health data, identifying areas for health promotion, and evaluating a client's condition. The document then describes the four primary techniques used in assessment: inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. For each technique, it provides details on how to properly perform and interpret the assessments. The goal is to thoroughly but efficiently examine clients in a systematic head-to-toe manner.
Vital signs, including temperature, pulse, respiration and blood pressure, reflect essential body processes and can indicate changes in a patient's condition. They are important baseline measurements that are taken routinely during assessments and when a patient's status may be affected. Temperature, pulse and respiration are regulated by the hypothalamus, heart and respiratory functions, respectively, and can be impacted by environmental and psychological stressors. Abnormal vital signs may reveal sudden or gradual deterioration and should be reported promptly.
The document discusses the "Ten Rights" of medication administration that nurses must follow to ensure patient safety. The ten rights are: 1) Right patient, 2) Right drug, 3) Right dose, 4) Right time, 5) Right method, 6) Right patient education, 7) Right documentation, 8) Right to refuse, 9) Right assessment, and 10) Right evaluation. Each right is described in detail with examples of how to properly identify the patient, drug, dose, timing, administration method, educate the patient, document, allow refusal, assess need and evaluate effectiveness.
The document discusses documentation and reporting in nursing. It defines documentation as a permanent record of client information and care, while reporting involves sharing client care information between two or more people. The importance of documenting and reporting for communication, legal purposes, research, education, and quality assurance is explained. Common documentation methods like source-oriented records, problem-oriented records, narrative notes, and computerized charting are described. Guidelines for effective documentation including brevity, accuracy, appropriateness, completeness and confidentiality are also provided.
The document lists important qualities that a nurse should possess, including being self-confident yet humble, honest and loyal, cooperative and a good listener, keenly observant and capable of being a good administrator, supervisor, and judge who is impartial, responsible, accountable, competent, advocates for others, maintains good human relations, and communicates graciously.
This document discusses the importance of proper drug administration in nursing practice. It outlines the traditional five rights of drug administration - right client, right drug, right dose, right time, right route - as well as five additional rights including right assessment, right documentation, patient's right to education, right evaluation, and patient's right to refuse. It emphasizes that nurses are accountable for safely administering medications by verifying orders, understanding each drug's effects and interactions, and ensuring patients provide informed consent before treatment.
The document discusses various methods of nursing documentation and recording. It describes the purposes of accurate nursing documentation as communication, legal documentation, nursing audits, education, financial billing, nursing research, and improving the quality of care. The principles of quality documentation include being factual, accurate, complete, current, organized and timely.
