Preparing nurses to recognize the signs and symptoms of a deteriorating patient and to provide appropriate initial interventions is essential. Hospital-based in situ simulation education is an effective evidence-based method that supports adult learning in a safe environment. The purpose of this article is to discuss the development, implementation, and evaluation of an in situ simulation program and the positive impact on nurses’ confidence level in the recognition and initiation of interventions for a deteriorating patient.
The case management process has the potential to mitigate stressors and improve depression management through family-focused care. Although there is limited guidance on prevention of depression, this approach resulted in attainment of safe home care, no hospital readmissions, and return to previous lifestyle for the older adult. This could be useful in the prevention of post-TBI depression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
