DEFIBRILLATOR AND CARDIOVERSION - NURSES RESPONSIBILITY
A defibrillator uses electrical energy to temporarily depolarize the heart muscle and allow the heart's natural pacemaker to regain control of the heartbeat. There are several types of defibrillators, including manual external defibrillators, automated external defibrillators (AEDs), manual internal defibrillators, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). The procedure for defibrillation involves charging the defibrillator, placing pads on the patient's chest, clearing everyone from contact, and delivering an electric shock to restore a normal heart rhythm.
PKU-biochemical genetic disorder- 19.1.2023.ppt
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, resulting in an inability to metabolize the essential amino acid phenylalanine. If left untreated, PKU can cause intellectual disabilities, seizures, and other neurological problems in affected individuals. Treatment involves restricting dietary phenylalanine through a specialized low-protein diet to control phenylalanine levels. Females with PKU must adhere to the diet prior to and during pregnancy to prevent complications in offspring from high phenylalanine passing through the placenta.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptx
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

patient identification.pptx
- 2. INTERNATIONAL PATIENT SAFETY GOALS 1.IDENTIFY PATIENT CORRECTLY 2.IMPROVE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION 3.IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF HIGH ALERT MEDICATION 4.ENSURE CORRECT – SITE, CORRECT – PROCEDURE, CORRECT – PATIENT SURGERY 5.REDUCE THE RISK OF HEALTH CARE ASSOSIATED INFECTION 6.REDUCE THE RISK OF PATIENT HARM RESULTING FROM FALLS
- 3. PRINCIPLE • To ensure the correct identity of the patient at all times and before undergoing procedures • To provide accurate identification of patients thereby minimizing related clinical error and patient harm.
- 4. PATIENT IDENTIFIERS AS EVIDENCE TO CONFIRM IDENTITY • NAME ( GIVEN NAME, FATHER’S NAME, HUSBAND’S NAME, FAMILY NAME ) • ASSIGNED IDENTIFICATION NUMBER • TELEPHONE NUMBER • DATE OF BIRTH • ADDRESS • MEDICAL RECORD NUMBER Note : Patient’s room number cannot be used as identifier
- 6. Patient identification must be confirmed prior to conducting the following procedures: • Administration of medicines • Transfusion of blood and blood products • Obtaining blood and other specimens • Performing a diagnostic test • Prior to transferring/discharging a patient • Prior to carrying out any invasive procedures such as urethral catheterization, inserting a nasogastric tube, etc. • Giving results of diagnostic tests.
- 7. DO’S ON PATIENT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER • Do identify the patient correctly on admission. • Do ensure that you have the full forename of the patient. • Do check again with the patient that all the details are correct, when you place an identity bracelet on. • Do regularly check the legibility of ID wristbands. Replace any ID wristbands which become illegible. • Do always check the details of patients even if you think you know them well. • Someone may just have placed the wrong medication chart at the foot of the bed. • Do double check verbally and physically that the details of a patient matches the details on a fully completed request form, especially if another member of the healthcare team has completed the form. • Do label samples taken from the patient straight away. The safest way is to label the bottles after the sample has been taken and before leaving the patient’s bedside.
- 8. DON’T’S ON PATIENT IDENTIFICATION • Do not read the patients details to them and allow them to passively agree with you. Ask the patient to give you their full detail • Do not accept a patient’s pointing to the name board above their bed as a signal that it is correct for that patient. Speak to the patient and check. • Do not take bloods from a patient without checking the patients details against a fully completed request form. • Do not label a sample bottle before you take blood. You may get distracted before you have completed the task. • Do not perform two tasks at the same time e.g. taking bloods from several patients and labeling them afterwards or filling out requests forms for several patients at the same time • Do not perform tasks remotely from the patient if at all possible. Try to fill out request forms and complete tasks at the patients’ bedside
- 9. NURSES’ RESPONSIBILITIES • Patient is wearing correct patient identification bands • A bracelet stating patient’s name, date of birth, hospital number/chart No. and ward is attached to an appropriate limb • The information on the patient’s wristband must correspond with the information in the patient’s chart.
- 10. FAILURE TO CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THE PATIENT LEADS TO : • MEDICATION ERROR • TRANSFUSION ERROR • TESTING ERROR • WRONG PERSON PROCEDURE
