警惕性-护理的要素

护理及其它卫生保健职业在其实践过程中基本的要求是照护,专业的警惕性是护理中照护的要素。本文运用历史学和理论学为基础结合专业的警惕性,探讨它的构成要素。介绍了护理诊断的两种形式(中心和监视诊断)。中心诊断是指护士对指定计划完成和实施措施的评估,北美护理诊断学会批准了这种类型的诊断。监视诊断是护士评估预期的患者的风险,为突发事件做准备。整体而言,职业和术语研究者要扩大护理诊断术语使其标准化,以利于护士对患者安全的警惕性进行有效的沟通和实践。

Vigilance-the essence of nursing

Nursing, perhaps more than any other health care profession, claims caring as fundamental to its practice. Professional vigilance is the essence of caring in nursing. This article uses historical and theoretical bases to define professional vigilance and discuss its components. Two types of nursing diagnoses, central and surveillance, are proposed. Central diagnoses indicate the need for the nurse to plan and implement interventions for the achievement of outcomes. North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA)-approved diagnoses fall in this category. Surveillance diagnoses are those that recognize patient risks that are anticipated by the nurse, who remains ready to act in the event of occurrence. The profession, as a whole, and language developers, in particular, need to expand standardized nursing diagnosis terminology so that the contribution of nurses' vigilance to patient safety may be effectively communicated and documented.
