A two-level approach to nursing process.

Abstract

Nurses have problems integrating the nursing process and care plans into their nursing practice. This problem affects patient outcomes and nursing practice issues. Encouraging trends have been observed when nurses adopted a two-level approach to relearn and implement the nursing process. Assessments were more comprehensive, nursing diagnoses were more specific, precise, and accurate, documentation was improved, and care plans were individualized. This article offers step by step guidelines to learn the two-level approach while recommending methods for teaching.

Hospitals' responses to nurse staffing shortages.

Hospitals have used a mix of short-term and long-term strategies to deal with nurse shortages, particularly efforts emphasizing nurse education, competitive compensation, and temporary staff. Interviews with health care leaders from Round Five of the Community Tracking Study indicate that these activities, in conjunction with other factors, have assisted in reducing shortages of hospital nurses. However, hospitals' actions have increased costs and raised concerns about their potential impact on patient care. Additionally, a large degree of doubt exists among hospitals about their ability to meet future nursing needs.
