| الوصف: | Event Theme: Influencing Global Health Through the Advancement of Nursing Scholarship ; The aging of the United States population has profound implications for nursing practice and health care costs (Capezuti, Bolt, Cline, Dickson, Rosenberg, Wagner, Shuluk, & Nigolian, 2012). Their health care utilization are three to five times more than younger patients, which accounted for $444 billion or 23% of the health care spending in 2008 and 13 % of the U.S federal budget (Wier, Pfuntner, & Steiner, 2010). Research shows units that have implemented the Geriatric Resource Nurse (GRN) model have better patient outcomes in terms of preventing falls and fall related injuries, decreased restraint use, early recognition of confusion or delirium, and decreased hospital acquired infections (Boltz, Capezuti, Bowar-Ferres, Norman, Secic, Kim, Fairchild, Mezey, & Fulmer, 2008; Kim, Capezuti, Boltz, and Fairchild, 2009). 5 Tower, a post-surgical unit, experienced a shift in its patient population in 2015 after the addition of the telemetry monitors to the unit. Since then, there was an in-flux of a geriatric population with both medical and surgical comorbidities. 5Tower served 734 older adults in 2015 ranking the fifth highest unit within the Central Division (CMC-Main and Mercy). Recognizing the special needs of geriatric patients, 5T implemented the GRN model by training staff nurses to better understand the normal signs of aging and contraindications related to caring for the geriatric population to recognize and identify resources available within the community and anticipate risks associated with care of the geriatric patients. Purpose: The purpose of this project is to increase the number of GRNs on 5T to better serve the geriatric patients. Clinical Question: Will there be an improvement in nurses’ knowledge related to the geriatric population after the completion of the Nurse Improve Care for Healthcare Elderly (NICHE) Geriatric Nurse modules? Theoretical Framework : Using the King’s Goal Attainment Theory ... |
