HNN112 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Scenario Analysis, Alarm Device
HNN112 WEEK 2 Seminar Note
After the weeks study, what I leart are:
• identify high risk practices in nursing (example. falls, pressure injury, healthcare
associated infections)
Take falls for example,
a. Identifying underlying cause of risk factor
b. Ensuring safety procedures (refer to hospital policy and procedures)
c. Maintaining a safe environment without clutters
d. Making sure that call bell device and personal items within easy reach
e. Orienting patient/resident when ambulating
f. Assisting patient with activities of daily living.
• describe the role of the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health
Care
Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care is to improve health
care service regarding safety and quality in Australia. This involves making a national
plan and implementing the actions to benefit the health care delivery
• describe and demonstrate appropriate use of body mechanics for safe manual
handling consistent with the no lift policy
Safe patient handling (equal to No Lifting Policy)
The manual lifting is contracted to safe patient handling, thus the manual one
should be eliminated as possible as we can. However, in the case of life threatening,
manual lifting is viewed as acceptable way to safe life.
• perform a falls risk assessment using various tools
a. Actually there are different assessment versions for RAS (Risk Assessment
Scale)
b. Questions are important. How to get the answer has many ways.
• Patient scenario analysis
Lisa is a 42 year old woman. Lisa was diagnosed with a degenerative muscle disease
10 years ago and requires full assistance with most activities of daily living. Lisa
lives at home with her 19 year old daughter and has a carer visit daily to assist with
her hygiene needs.
This includes assisting Lisa out of bed, to the toilet, into the shower and then onto a
chair in the lounge room.
Lisa is able to weight bear but has limited strength in her upper and lower limbs. She
can ambulate with a wheeled walking frame, but needs your assistance to steady
her.
