Standardization of care in patients with lower extremity ulcers venous etiology
Abstract
The ulcer of the lower extremity is a common chronic disease process in daily practice, in which there is wide variability in treatment. Venous ulcers account for 70% of all vascular ulcers. They occur mainly as there is a valve dysfunction as a result of venous incompetence in the lower limbs. Due to the impact they pose is necessary to apply a corrective treatment and also to demonstrate effectiveness in repairing these ulcers. Our goals are to unify and standardize criteria for action by nursing language records and all perform a standardization of care for these patients. This has been an analysis of the needs of care in patients with ulcers of the lower extremity venous etiology methodology by applying nurse. The patient assessment is made by functional health patterns of M. Gordon, for the diagnosis, interventions and outcome criteria necessary use the NNN taxonomy (NANDA-NIC-NOC). We obtained a total of 3 major diagnostic labels, encoded according to NANDA taxonomy for nursing care quality required 13 interventions. Plant 5 outcome criteria to evaluate the effectiveness and quality of nurse activity. Standardized care plans are a valuable tool. Its use ensures that share a common language, unified performance criteria, achieved quality care for our patients.
