Nursing Care Plan for a Child Diagnosed with Lathosterolosis

Lathosterolosis is a very rare autosomal recessive cholesterol metabolism disorder. The disease manifests itself with developmental and mental delays, learning disabilities, microcephaly, facial dysmorphism, bilateral cataracts, and skeletal defects. It is caused by the deficiency of the enzyme sterol-C5-desaturase, which is involved in cholesterol biosynthesis. This deficiency prevents the synthesis of cholesterol, which acts as a precursor for lipid, bile acids, and steroid hormones. Until 2020, only 7 cases had been reported. In this case report, it was aimed to plan and implement the nursing care of a 2-year-old boy diagnosed with lathosterolosis with the diagnoses of the North American Nursing Diagnostic Association (NANDA).

Postoperative Care for Patients with Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage

This article summarizes the postoperative care plan for patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH).Nursing strategies are analyzed in terms of the level of consciousness,pupil care,vital sign care,temperature care,complication care,and early rehabilitation care,with the goal of providing reference for follow-up care of HICH patients.

Thoughts on the Construction of Evidence-based Nursing Standard Plan for Dominant Diseases in Traditional Chinese Medicine

The evidence-based Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) nursing in standard plan is to be constructed by a combination of evidence-based thinking and expert consensus.(1) The symptoms of diseases with better curative effect in TCM and the nursing techniques of TCM based on scientific evidence can be preliminarily presented through bibliometric analysis.(2) Expert consultation letters can be developed based on bibliometric results, and symptoms of dominant diseases in TCM and TCM nursing techniques can be selected through those letters.(3) Based on the selected symptoms and TCM nursing techniques, the PICO can be determined, and then evidence search, evidence extraction, evidence analysis can be conducted and synthesized, and recommendations would be chosen.(4) The recommendation grade of each recommendation can be determined by applying the Delphi method and referring to GRADE.(5) The plan will be determined through discussions of experts. The construction of TCM nursing plan would make sure that TCM nursing is scientific, and internationalize TCM nursing.

Challenges using electronic nursing routine data for outcome analyses:A mixed methods study

Objectives To explore the challenges of secondary use of routinely collected data for analyzing nursing-sensitive outcomes in Austrian acute care hospitals.Method A convergent parallel mixed methods design was performed.We conducted a quantitative representative survey with nursing managers from 32 Austrian general acute care hospitals and 11 qualitative semi-structured interviews with nursing quality management experts.Both results were first analyzed independently and afterward merged in the discussion.Results On average,76%of nursing documentation is already electronically supported in the surveyed Austrian hospitals.However,existing nursing data is seldom used for secondary purposes such as nursing-sensitive outcome analyses.This is due to four major reasons:First,hospitals often do not have a data strategy for the secondary use of routine data.Second,hospitals partly lack the use of standardized and uniform nursing terminologies,especially for nursing evaluation.Third,routine nursing data is often not documented correctly and completely.Fourth,data on nursing-sensitive outcomes is usually collected in specific documentation forms not integrated into routine documentation.Conclusion The awareness of the possibilities for secondary use of nursing data for nursing-sensitive outcome analyses in Austrian hospitals is still in its infancy.Therefore,nursing staff and nursing management must be trained to understand how to collect and process nursing data for nursing-sensitive outcome analyses.Further studies would be interesting in order to determine the factors that influence the decision-making processes for the secondary use of nursing data for outcome analyses.

Application of Functional Exercise Nursing Plan Based on Evidence-based Nursing After Hip Replacement

Objective:To explore the effect of functional exercise nursing plan based on evidence-based nursing in patients after hip replacement.Methods:A total of 150 patients who underwent hip replacement in the orthopedic second ward of our hospital during the research period from January 2010 to January 2020 were selected as the research object.The random number expression method was applied to achieve grouping of patients.Among them,the control group received conventional rehabilitation treatment;the experimental group guided rehabilitation exercises according to the functional exercise nursing plan after hip replacement,and the rehabilitation conditions of the two groups were compared.Results:Compared with the patients in the control group,the bed time(7.45±2.10)days and average hospital stay(15.84±3.29)of the experimental group were relatively shorter.The incidence of complications in the experimental group and the control group was 6.67%and 16.00%,which are significantly different.The difference in Harris hip score before surgery was small,and the difference when discharge and after discharge was gradually increased,showing a better care effect in the experimental group.There was no significant difference in preoperative quality of life scores between the two groups before surgery(P>0.05).The life quality of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group at discharge,1 month after discharge and 3 months after discharge,and showed most significantly after 3 months.Conclusion:The effect of functional exercise nursing plan based on evidence-based nursing in patients after hip replacement is remarkable,which can promote the recovery of patients,improve the quality of life,reduce the hospitalization time,reduce the incidence of postoperative complications,and has a positive significance in promoting clinical development in China.
