Nursing Intervention


A nursing intervention is any treatment
based on clinical judgment and knowledge
that a nurse performs to enhance patient
outcomes.
Interventions include direct and indirect care
measures aimed at individuals, families,
and/or the community.

Case Study


Miranda is a nursing student who is assigned to Mr.
Bagley. Mr. Bagley is a 52 y/o Asian male admitted to
the medical-surgical unit for management of
tuberculosis. Mr. Bagley travels internationally
because of his executive position with a global
company and most likely contracted tuberculosis
during his travels.
Mr. Bagley’s current symptoms are shortness of
breath, night sweats, muscle pain, fatigue, and a
productive cough. Miranda reviews Mr. Bagley’s plan
of care to determine which interventions are to be
implemented first.

Critical Thinking in Implementation




Review the set of all possible nursing
interventions.
Review all possible consequences associated
with each possible nursing action.
Determine the probability of all possible
consequences.
Make a judgment of the value of that
consequence to the patient.

Critical Thinking and Evaluation




Evaluation is an ongoing process.
If outcomes are met, patient goals are met.
Positive evaluations occur when nurses meet
desired outcomes.
Positive evaluations lead nurses to conclude
that interventions were successful.

Miyoko is a nursing student assigned to Mr.
Mashoud, a 48-year-old Arab male admitted
to the hospital with kidney stones.
Upon Mr. Mashoud’s admission to the
emergency department (ED) this morning, he
was experiencing excruciating pain.
The treatment plan for Mr. Mashoud includes
keeping him in the hospital until he passes
the stones and adjusting his pain medication
as needed.

Registered nurse works directly with patient,
family, and health care team members.
RN is responsible for patients during shift of
care, although care can be delegated.
Approach may not be cost-effective owing to
high number of registered nurses needed.
Patient satisfaction is high.

48
Primary Nursing




One primary registered nurse assumes
responsibility for caseload.
Communication is lateral from nurse to nurse
and from caregiver to caregiver.
Flexible model uses a variety of staffing levels

Collaborative process of assessing, planning,
facilitating, and advocating for options and services to
meet an individual’s health needs
Clinicians oversee the management of patients with
specific, complex health problems and are usually
held accountable for some standard of cost
management and quality.
Often the case manager is an advanced practice
nurse, who helps improve patient outcomes via
specific interventions.
