Does this settlement raise a risk of an impossible standard for preparedness for our hospitals and community health facilities? Matt and Rick join Nursing Show host Jamie Davis as they shift the conversation into a broader look at preparedness beyond the Katrina incidents and aftermath. What is your preparedness level and how well do you know how your facility's response plan? This is one of the lessons to be learned by the individual nurse out there. A lot of difficult decisions about patient care have to be made during any extreme disaster event. Holding a normal standard of care against care givers when resources are severely compromised or reduced is impractical at best and ridiculous at worst.  Listen to this week's discussion and you can also catch last week's discussion as part 1 of our Discussion on Katrina Hospital Lawsuit Settlement (http://www.nursingshow.com/?p=4629).

In a complete blood count, the basic components of the blood which are the red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin and hematocrit are examined for their values. An increase or decrease on each of these components are all indicative of a disease or disorder going on with the patient. In this episode, nurses and nursing students will be provided a review on the basic blood components, its normal values, what abnormal values indicate and most importantly, the nursing responsibilities and considerations in a CBC lab order.

They talk about the changes and differences from the 2005 guidelines like the new 5th chain of survival link, the issue on changing the ratio to compressions in CPR, importance of minimizing interruptions in chest compressions, oxygenation and resuscitation, and more.

Basically, it is defines as the ego's response to to protect against anxiety. Defense mechanisms are thought to safeguard the mind against feelings and thoughts that are too difficult for the conscious mind to cope with. A common defense mechanism is denial. Patients tend to convince themselves that everything will be okay. This type of defense mechanism is displayed by patients who have just been diagnosed with a terminal illness, or loved of patients who are near death. Another is displacement. It is diverting one's emotions to something or someone less threatening to them instead of dealing with the original problem directly. An example of this is a person who had just been reprimanded at work by their boss throws everything they get their hands on when they get back to the office. There are more defense mechanisms displayed not only by psychological patients but also for people who are in a high level of anxiety. The key to dealing with this is to identify the defense mechanisms displayed by the patient through listening and understanding carefully what the patient tells the nurse during the interview process and using the appropriate therapeutic communication techniques.

It explores the patient's personal history including the presenting problem, when it started, medical and psychological history, substance abuse, mental status evaluation, and more. In assessing behavioral or psychological patients, nurses should keep in mind the communication techniques for these types of patients watch out for defense mechanisms displayed by the person interviewed and be able to get through those barriers for a more effective assessment. To get the most out of the interview, nurses should start with open ended questions and proceed with leading questions focusing on the patient's feelings. Since the mental and emotional stability of the patient can not be ensured, it is best to conduct the assessment process in a safe environment such as the nurse will not be in a cornered area and the objects that can pose physical threat are not within the patient's reach.
