Nursing Actions and Concept Maps

3/18/2017

1 Comment

 
Meaningful living concept maps are all about focusing on nursing actions and their rationales. Although many texts and articles refer to nursing care planning and the enactment of critical thinking in that planning as nursing interventions, the term nursing action covers a much broader area and integrates critical thinking in all nursing care related decision making. Actions taken begin mentally as the nurse processes all patient related information. Nursing actions include:
  • completing hands-on assessments
  • monitoring and trending lab work and diagnostic tests
  •  completing patient and family education
  • changing dressings
  • interpreting physician orders
  • managing tubes and lines
  • comparing and contrasting a patient's baseline status with current changes
  • recognizing sequences and patterns related to care and treatment
  • administering medications
​What are other things that you would consider to be nursing actions?

Nursing is not an easy job, I will tell you that. I have worked as a nurse for years now, and believe me, it is not easy. I think that there are lots of people who just need to go and respect what we do. Of course, I understand that people have different opinions regarding nursing, but believe me, it is not an easy job. My life as a nurse was one of the toughest, I will tell you that much.

    Wisdom is the basis for our nursing practice. I want to reach out to and welcome all nurses and nursing students; to educate them in cultivating this most essential skill. This is the essence of nursing.
