Role of Nurses in the Detection of Delirium
Although well-achieved nurses possess the capability of detecting and managing delirium, the problem is not yet recognized for management and treatment. Also, nurses have a key responsibility in the realization of the health condition but most people in the global population are still suffering. The high prevalence of delirium yields attention as societies want to understand why nurses cannot implement their knowledge in fighting the condition. Delirium is not a minor health issue and it should not be ignored to the level of becoming dominant in society. Knowing that the serious problem is preventable, the nurse should play their desired roles to minimize the issue (Baker, Taggart, Nivens &Tillman, 2015). This step will reduce the cost incurred in the treatment procedures and the pain involved in losing a person into the derailment by the health condition. The health condition posed by delirium is critical as explained by its definition. Delirium is an abrupt change in the brain that leads to emotional disruption and mental confusion (Baker, Taggart, Nivens &Tillman, 2015). This condition of delirium possesses a major challenge to the health officials to use their knowledge and work towards minimization to eradicate the issue from society.
The literature review published between 2001 and 2014 includes nurses and some patients suffering from delirium. The article shows the meaning of some terms like delirium or acute confusion and nurses, nurses' recognition, nurses' identification, or nurses' knowledge. The exclusion criteria in the study did not report the primary data used in the procedure (Baker, Taggart, Nivens &Tillman, 2015). Also, the nurse’s recognition and level of knowledge on delirium are not mentioned in the review. The review is shallow because it does not give various aspects of delirium like definition, the appropriate scales and tools used in the treatment and the risks associated with the condition. However, the major focus of the study was on the benefits of educated intervention, prevention practices, improved detection, and sustainable medical management (Baker, Taggart, Nivens &Tillman, 2015). The researchers found out that the educational intervention of nurses and medical officials has a positive impact on the patients. For instance, the plan reduces the length of time spent by the latter at the hospital. The review leaves with three ultimate activities that can help in the proper management of delirium. In this case, nurses are encouraged to take a quick look at assessing patients due to the limited time provided for the study. They have to keep an eye on the patients at the risk of delirium and control the situation to avoid incidences like injury on a patient.
Researchers used questionnaires as the sampling method for the study. The people involved in the study obtained permission from the original developers of the questionnaires before the actual distribution. However, the current paper forms had a label for a current study on nurse’s knowledge of the delirium health issue. Consequently, the main participants in the study were nurses who pro...
