In this clinical report, the study investigates the risk factors for sudden agitations for adults after being applied anesthesia for urological surgery. The report defined agitation as a “sudden anxious state” (Kim 2014). The study included the patients’ medical history to ensure that the incident of “emergency agitation” was not linked to the patient. All the patients were undergoing urological studies. The patients were separated into control and experimental groups. Next, each patient was given

Characteristics of Caring The first characteristic of caring deals with a healing interaction between the nurse and patient that leads to a therapeutic outcome. The outcome is therapeutic when a patient remains autonomous. Often times, this is hindered because a person seeks out healthcare when they can no longer manage their symptoms on their own (Lindberg, Fagerstrom, Sivberg, & Willman, 2014).

Bedside handover using ISBAR frameworks has proven in promotion of patient satisfaction, especially for the patient’s safety. However, there are some barriers that were identified in the effectiveness of bedside handover. These barriers may involve different factors such as environmental and human.

The topic of this article is about the effects that Alzheimer’s has on the patients, family members/caregivers. I believe there is a grave importance in this topic to help understand the effects of this disease and possibly help farther research. This might bring a few questions to the front of this discussion. How the relationship is after a patient is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s? How does this effect the family members/caregivers?

This paper will discuss the environment of two psychiatric facilities, Regional West

The nurse educators of each unit will also have valuable input and would be responsible for implementing, supporting, and enforcing the use of the checklist. Selected nurses from each unit, along with a midlevel practitioner, should also be involved in this team to provide individualized perspectives on what would be necessary and reasonable to be included in the checklist. Support from these representatives of each position will further assist in successful implementation of the project. This
