Nursing diagnoses and interventions in trauma victims during prehospital care using the ICNP®

Journal Title: Revista Eletronica de Enfermagem - Year 2013, Vol 15, Issue 1

Abstract

The objective of this descriptive and quantitative study was to identify nursing diagnoses and interventions based on the ICNP® version 2011 in trauma victims assisted by a mobile prehospital care service in Maceió, Alagoas, in July 2010. A total of 33 diagnoses and 14 interventions were formulated. The following diagnoses stood out “current gunshot wound” and “compromised cardiovascular and respiratory system” because they evidence the nature of the conditions that were cared by the service. Among the interventions, the following stood out: “to implement oxygen therapy using an oxygen mask” and “reestablish the cardiovascular and respiratory system with resuscitation maneuvers”. In conclusion, the identification of the most frequent ICNP® nursing diagnoses and interventions among trauma victims during the prehospital service can contribute with offering care that is better directed and systemized, in addition to improving nursing documentation
