Chances are, the animal wouldn't have made it if they hadn't nursed him back to health. Arttu is probably the cutest thing we've seen in ages, and it's our job to write about cute things. After the family decided to release him back into the wild, he wasn't having any of it. The gorgeous baby squirrel had formed an attachment to his new adopted family and wanted to stay. The family : Priami He was also left blind from his injuries, and the family soon realised that he wouldn't survive on his own. Arttu had to become part of the family. And part of the family he became - the little red squirrel became very domesticated and enjoyed playing in the house. They also let the little guy play outside - and he was so attached to the family that he always came back in when he was done. Arttu sadly passed away after a long life of six years lodging with the family. They obviously loved him very much, and made a grave for him in the garden, with food kept out to feed other squirrels.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Baby Nursing]]></category> <link>https://www.hope-n-life.com/BabyNursing/nursing-a-baby-squirrel-back-to-health</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.hope-n-life.com/BabyNursing/nursing-a-baby-squirrel-back-to-health</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:47:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Nursing 7 Rights</title> <description>By, BSN, RN As citizens of the United States we are all familiar with The Bill of Rights , and as anyone who works in a hospital knows, there is a Patient's Bill of Rights too.

But did you know there is a Nurses' Bill of Rights ? The Nurses' Bill of Rights was adopted by the American Nurses Association (ANA) Board of Directors on June 26, 2001. "The ANA Bill of Rights for Registered Nurses is a powerful statement of the rights that every nurse must have to provide high quality patient care in a safe environment, ” said ANA President Mary Foley, in 2001. "We believe that nurses have the right to a safe work environment, to practice in a manner that assures the provision of safe care through adherence to professional standards and ethical practice, and to advocate freely for themselves and their patients." The Nurses' Bill of Rights dictates: Nurses have the right to practice in a manner that fulfills their obligations to society and to those who receive nursing care. Nurses have the right to practice in environments that allow them to act in accordance with professional standards and legally authorized scopes of practice. Nurses have the right to a work in an environment that supports and facilitates ethical practice, in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements . Nurses have the right to freely and openly advocate for themselves and their patients, without fear of retribution. Nurses have the right to fair compensation for their work, consistent with their knowledge, experience and professional responsibilities. Nurses have the right to a work environment that is safe for themselves and for their patients. Nurses have the right to negotiate the conditions of their employment, either as individuals or collectively, in all practice settings.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Nursing Career]]></category> <link>https://www.hope-n-life.com/NursingCareer/nursing-7-rights</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.hope-n-life.com/NursingCareer/nursing-7-rights</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 18 Feb 2025 09:39:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>What a real nurse should look like?</title> <description>A nurse is an example of cleanliness and accuracy.

Weighing serves as an assessment tool to determine the adequacy of nutritional intake. Ascertain patient’s dietary program and usual pattern then compare with recent intake. Identifies deficits and deviations from therapeutic needs. Auscultate bowel sounds. Note reports of abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting of undigested food. Maintain NPO status as indicated. Hyperglycemia and fluid and electrolyte disturbances can decrease gastric motility and/or function (due to distention or ileus) affecting choice of interventions. Note: Chronic difficulties with decreased gastric emptying time and poor intestinal motility may suggest autonomic neuropathies affecting the GI tract and requiring symptomatic treatment. Provide liquids containing nutrients and electrolytes as soon as patient can tolerate oral fluids then progress to a more solid food as tolerated. Oral route is preferred when patient is alert and bowel function is restored. Identify food preferences, including ethnic and cultural needs. If patient’s food preferences can be incorporated into the meal plan, cooperation with dietary requirements may be facilitated after discharge. Include SO in meal planning as indicated. To promote sense of involvement and provide information to the SO to understand the nutritional needs of the patient. Note: Various methods available or dietary planning include exchange list, point system, glycemic index, or pre selected menus. Observe for signs of hypoglycemia: changes in LOC, cold and clammy skin, rapid pulse, hunger, irritability, anxiety, headache, lightheadedness, shakiness. Hypoglycemia can occur once blood glucose level is reduced and carbohydrate metabolism resumes and insulin is being given. If the patient is comatose, hypoglycemia may occur without notable change in LOC. This potentially life-threatening emergency should be assessed and treated quickly per protocol. Note: Type 1 diabetics of long standing may not display usual signs of hypoglycemia because normal response to low blood sugar may be diminished. Perform fingerstick glucose testing. Beside analysis of serum glucose is more accurate than monitoring urine sugar. Urine glucose is not sensitive enough to detect fluctuations in serum levels and can be affected by patient’s individual renal threshold or the presence of urinary retention. Note: Normal levels for fingerstick glucose testing may vary depending on how...</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Nursing Care]]></category> <link>https://www.hope-n-life.com/NursingCare/nursing-care-plan-for-diabetes</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.hope-n-life.com/NursingCare/nursing-care-plan-for-diabetes</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 09 Jan 2025 09:24:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Nursing - Assessment of Safety in Environment</title> <description>Co-Chairs Diane E.

The long term goals of nursing diagnosis for sepsis are the maintenance of negative cultures by following the antibiotic therapy. The temperature must be maintained below 100 degree of Fahrenheit, the heart rate has to be in between 60 to 100 beats per minutes and the MAP should be higher than 70 mmHq. DEFINITION SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF SEVERE SEPTIC SHOCK Sepsis is the body’s response to infection. The body triggers a series of events causing an inflammatory syndrome more or less generalized responsible for hemodynamic and micro circulatory. There are 3 kinds of sepsis: the 3 phases of successive worsening of the infection and the inflammatory response: Sepsis: Presence of infection clinically and / or micro-biologically documented SIRS = systemic inflammatory response syndrome (presence of at least two of these signs): fever> 38.3 ° or 90 beats / min tachypnea with EN> 20/mn or PaCO2 12, 000 or 10% immature forms. severe sepsis: Onset sepsis and organ dysfunction and / or hypotension corrected by volume and / or lactate> 4 mmol / l Septic shock: Hypotension secondary to sepsis not only corrected by volume expansion. Early detection of severe sepsis in reception area Early recognition of severe sepsis is crucial because earliness of hemodynamic management determines the prognosis. Immediately detectable signs in reception area and orientation: chills without fever. oliguria. decreased level of consciousness, confusion. tachypnea> 30. mottled extremities, joints. cold extremities and cyanic. increased pulse rate> 90 beats / min.

I have had various employment/self-employment positions over the years since becoming a nurse. But regardless of what title I had at any given time, and whether directly or indirectly working with consumers of healthcare (and we are all consumers of healthcare) I have always been working within the profession of nursing. In each role I had the same mission, ideals, and ethical and practice standards, while being aware of my role and responsibility as a healthcare expert (every nurse is a healthcare expert in his or her own way) and provider of care in a very broad sense. Today, as a nurse entrepreneur, when people ask me what I do, I say, “I am a self-employed registered nurse who spends her time speaking and a writing. You might say I heal with words.” I am proud to be a member of the nursing profession for 35 years. I don’t want to discuss the issue anymore, I don’t want to debate or dispute it. I just want to keep on living it—to the best of my ability—always striving to raise the standards of my own practice and my profession as a whole for hopefully another 35 years…or more.
