Question

According to QSEN competences: Quality of care for patients in the ICU for respiratory failure

Answer 1

ANSWER :

According to the quality and safety education for nurses ( QSEN) competences quality of care for patient in the ICU for respiratory failure ;

It was an attempt to unite nursing education and practice.

Quality and safety education for nurses team is the process of effectivity integrating the knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards caring of patients by providing quality care in ICU ;

Nursing care can have a tremendous impact in improving efficiency of the patients respiration and ventilation and increasing the chance for recovery.

To detect changes in respiratory status early, assess the patient tissue oxygenation status regularly.

Evaluate ABG results and indices of end organ perfusion.

Regular, effective use of incentive spirometry helps maximize diffusion amd alveolar surface area and that helps to prevent atelectasis.

Regular rotation of V/Q lung zones by patient turning on repositioning enhances diffusion by promoting health well purfused alveolar surface.

By these actions as well as suctioning helps mobilize sputum or secretions.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT:

Patients in respiratory failure have unique nutritional needs and considerations.

Those with acute respiratory failure from primary lung dise5may be malnourished initially or may become malnourished from increased metabolic demands or inadequate nutritional intake.

malnourished can impair the function of respiratory muscles, reduce ventilation drive, and decrease lung defence mechanism.

Nurses should consider nutritional support and individualize such support to ensure adequate caloric and protein intake to meet the patients respiratory needs.

PATIENT AND FAMILY EDUCATION :

Provide appropriate education to the Patient and family to promote adherence with treatment and help prevent with treatment and help prevent the need for readmission.

Explain the purpose of nursing measures such as turning and incentives spirometry, as well as medications.

At discharge, teach patient about pertinent risk factors for their specific respiratory condition, when to return to the health care provider for follow up care and home measures they can take to promote and maximize respiratory function.
