PATIENT ASSIGNMENTS AND NURSING CARE RESPONSIBILITIES.pptxPRADEEP ABOTHU
Patient Assignments and Nursing Care Responsibilities
Functional Nursing:
Functional nursing is a care delivery model in which nursing tasks are divided among team members based on their specific skills and expertise. In this model, each member of the nursing team is assigned specific functions to perform for a group of patients. For instance, one nurse may be responsible for administering medications, while another nurse may focus on vital sign monitoring. This approach aims to promote efficiency by utilizing the specialized skills of each team member. However, it can also result in fragmented care and reduced continuity as different nurses handle different aspects of patient care.
Team Nursing:
Team nursing is a collaborative care delivery model that involves a team of healthcare professionals working together to provide comprehensive care to a group of patients. The team typically includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nursing assistants, among others. A registered nurse usually leads the team and coordinates care, delegating tasks to team members based on their abilities and scope of practice. This model encourages teamwork, shared decision-making, and a holistic approach to patient care. By leveraging the collective skills and knowledge of the team, team nursing aims to provide high-quality care while maintaining efficiency.
Primary Nursing:
Primary nursing is a patient-centered care delivery model in which a registered nurse takes full responsibility for coordinating and providing care to a specific group of patients. The primary nurse develops a therapeutic relationship with the patients, assesses their needs, creates individualized care plans, and provides direct care throughout their healthcare journey. This model emphasizes continuity of care and places a strong emphasis on the nurse-patient relationship. By having a dedicated primary nurse, patients benefit from personalized attention, improved communication, and a sense of continuity in their care.
Case Management:
Case management is a care delivery model that focuses on coordinating healthcare services for patients with complex medical conditions or multiple healthcare needs. A case manager, often a registered nurse, plays a key role in this model by working closely with the patient, their family, and other healthcare professionals to ensure seamless transitions between healthcare settings and to optimize resource utilization. The case manager assesses the patient's needs, develops and implements care plans, advocates for the patient, coordinates appointments and services, and collaborates with various healthcare providers. The goal is to provide comprehensive and efficient care while maximizing patient outcomes and resource allocation.
Each of these care delivery models has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of model depends on factors such as the healthcare setting, patient population, and available resources.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION
