What Can Zumba Teach Us about Complex Adaptive Systems and/or Group Dynamics? via @BethBoynton #Nurseup #Nursefriendly

What Can Zumba Teach Us about Complex Adaptive Systems and/or Group Dynamics?:"I love my Zumba class and instructors.  Somehow I doubt they are fantasizing about group dynamics and having epiphanies about related complex adaptive systems while dancing like I tend too, but that’s ok! Zumba® exercise classes are ” fitness-parties ” that blend upbeat world rhythms with easy-to-follow choreography, for a total-body workout that feels like a celebration.  I typically go to a class 3-5 times a week at Jubilation Studio in Portsmouth, NH where the popular Interruption Awareness youtube was filmed!"

Using #Hospice and #Palliative Preferred Practices to Create a Plan of Care. @pedagogymedical @hospiceheroes #nurseup #nursefriendly
Because of the complex needs of hospice and palliative care patients, clinicians must be able to construct a plan of care that will accurately chart a patient's progress towards outcomes that enhance his or her quality of life.  To accomplish this important service, clinicians should employ a system of preferred practices to effectively assess, document, and manage the end of life needs of patients and their families.

Surgical Patients Not Getting Information on Alternatives, Wall Street Journal #nurseup #nursefriendly

Surgical Patients Not Getting Information on Alternatives, Wall Street Journal #nurseup #nursefriendly:"It's awfully hard for patients to participate in decisions about their medical care if they don't know all their options.  But that's exactly what seems to be happening, at least with many Medicare patients who received a stent procedure for coronary disease or prostate surgery for cancer, according to a new study. The research, published online by the Journal of General Internal Medicine, surveyed 685 patients who had prostate-cancer surgery and 472 who had stents for coronary disease about their decision-making process."

Patient Left Unrestrained, Patient Injured. Nurses Judgement Call, #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare

Patient Left Unrestrained, Patient Injured. Nurses Judgement Call, #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare:”The decision to use or not use restraints must be made with caution and good judgement. Their intended purpose must be to protect either the patient or others who may be injured by the patient including the staff caring for the client. The ultimate determination of necessity is left with the physician. Often, the moment to moment necessity is determined by the nurse. In this case a nurse did not feel restraining the patient was necessary. When an injury occurred, the patient sued.
Gerard v. Sacred Heart Medical Center – 937 P. 2d 1104 (1997)

Patient Falls While Ambulating Post-op, #Negligence or #Medical #Malpractice #nursecasestudy #nursefriendly

Patient Falls While Ambulating Post-op, #Negligence or #Medical #Malpractice #nursecasestudy #nursefriendly:""The patient came in for a hysterectomy had been on bedrest for two days post-operatively. The potential for complications with extended bedrest are well documented including, Deep Venous Thrombosis, Pneumonia, Pulmonary Emboli. Medical & Nursing Interventions to help minimize post-operative complications are mandatory.
"It has long been recognized that bedrest can produce deconditioning and can impair aerobic performance. (16) The results of the study by Girish et al remind us that inactivity due to obesity or other medical conditions that limit mobility can have a similar deconditioning effect and thereby can increase the risk of postoperative morbidity."(2)
Ambulation was now medically indicated and attempts were made to get the patient up and walking. 
On the first attempt, the patient complained of dizziness and nausea. This was documented, the doctor made aware, and attempts scheduled for later in the day. 
On the second attempt, the patient was questioned about the earlier dizziness and nausea. It was no longer present. The patient, assisted by staff, got up, fell and broke her ankle. 
It should be noted here that falls happen frequently in hospitals and nursing homes. They are major source of mortality and morbidity."
