摘要:

Endoscopy outpatient assessment should be simple, yet comprehensive. Assessment is done to identify nursing care problems in order to deliver appropriate care. Four weaknesses are commonly found with outpatient assessment tools: assessment criteria are not based on Standards of Care, abnormal findings are not easily identifiable, nursing care problems are not stated, and there is no stated plan of care. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new concept for the GI outpatient assessment. In the proposed concept, the “traditional” assessment is merged with a nursing care plan to produce a comprehensive assessment tool. Assessment criteria are based on predetermined Standards of Care. The assessment analysis is stated via the same assessment tool as a nursing problem, and the care plan interventions are noted and based on nursing care problems.

摘要:

In order to reduce the risk of nosocomial infection during endoscopic procedures, a simple, safe and economical technique for disposal of contaminated guide-wires, tubes and catheters is described. A disposable glove, everted over a coiled wire or other endoscopic accessory, creates a pouch which then contains the contaminated object to be discarded. This everted glove-pouch technique prevents dispersal of secretions into the endoscopic environment and provides a convenient means for disposal of these otherwise awkward endoscopic accessories.

摘要:

Chronologically, transabdominal feeding tubes have moved from an area of a high-risk operating room suite to the quiet security of the endoscopy unit. The dynamics of gastroenterology foster a climate of active management in enteral feeding via gastrostomy tubes for both patients undergoing uncomplicated procedures and the patient at risk for traditional anesthetic. Therapeutic nursing models, supervisory decisions and patient strategies have become more complex. In seeking the assistance of my colleagues through random survey, valuable data were collected. The future nursing process, care and treatment of patients with transabdominal feeding tubes will be diverse compared to the past.

摘要:

Employees who receive praise for their work develop pride in themselves and their performance. Positive reinforcement techniques are easy to learn and are rewarding for both supervisor and employee. Today's employees want and expect guidance and feedback about their performance. Acknowledging desired behavior may even eliminate corrective counselling sessions. It is essential to the success of service industries such as health care to have front line people who project confident, caring attitudes and provide superior service.
