Underlying Principles
Therapeutic procedures are essential components of nursing practice and are designed to treat diseases, alleviate symptoms, and promote recovery. These procedures are informed by a foundational understanding of anatomy, pathophysiology, and pharmacology. Key principles include:
1. Patient-Centered Care: Prioritizing the needs and preferences of the patient ensures that care is tailored to individual circumstances and enhances satisfaction (McCormack & McCance, 2017).
2. Evidence-Based Practice: Utilizing current best evidence in conjunction with clinical expertise and patient values to guide decision-making (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2019).
3. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Working alongside other healthcare professionals to provide optimal patient care leads to better outcomes (Reeves et al., 2016).
4. Safety and Quality: Procedures must be performed in an environment that minimizes risks and promotes patient safety through adherence to established protocols (Institute of Medicine, 2015).
5. Ethical Considerations: Respecting the principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice in patient care choices (Beauchamp & Childress, 2019).
Nursing Interventions
| Who? | When? | Why? | How? |
|--------------------------|-----------------------------|------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| Registered Nurse (RN), LPN | During admission assessment | Establish baseline data for care planning | Conduct thorough physical, emotional, and social assessment |
| RN, Nursing Assistants | Before and after procedures | Monitor patient’s status and response | Assess vital signs, level of consciousness, and pain levels |
| RN, Interdisciplinary Team | Throughout hospitalization | Address holistic needs and comprehensive care | Schedule regular interdisciplinary team meetings to share and plan care |
| RN, Healthcare Provider | As needed | Perform therapeutic procedures safely | Follow standard operating procedures and protocols during all procedures |
| RN (Patient Education Specialist) | Pre-procedure | Prepare patient for procedure appropriately | Provide clear and concise information about what to expect during and after the procedure |
Case Scenario Example
A patient is admitted with congestive heart failure (CHF). The RN assesses the patient’s physical condition, reviews their medical history, and develops a care plan, including potential therapeutic procedures like diuresis. The RN also sets patient education sessions regarding dietary modifications, medication management, and self-care strategies post-discharge.
Integration of Care Strategies
1. Patient Education: Implementing strategies for educating patients about their condition, treatment options, and self-care is critical. Education reduces anxiety and increases adherence to treatment protocols (Bastable et al., 2017).
2. Emotional Support: Addressing psychological aspects by providing empathetic communication and support or involving mental health professionals when necessary (Friedman, 2019).
3. Monitoring and Evaluation: Continuous reassessment of patients allows for timely modifications to therapeutic interventions based on patient response (Benner, 2019).
4. Documentation: Comprehensive and accurate documentation of the care provided and patient responses ensures legal protection and continuity of care (McGowan & Royer, 2020).
Conclusion
Therapeutic procedures in nursing require an understanding of underlying principles, patient-centered approaches, and interdisciplinary collaboration to be effective. The continual emphasis on safety and quality care, combined with rigorous adherence to ethical guidelines, ensures that the interventions to support patients through various health challenges are not only efficient but also compassionate.
