Michigan State University, NUR 360
Excerpt: ... MSU College of Nursing NUR 360 Fall 2005 This module will present the topic of brain trauma and the nursing and collaborative management of these patients. Remember that the format for this week is a little bit different. We will not be spending much time in class on lecture, so most of the information you need will come from your readings and the other online activities. In class you will be working with your team on a case study that hopefully will help you apply what you have learned to a "real world" situation. Objectives: 1. Differentiate among patients with head injuries according to mechanism of injury, clinical signs and symptoms, diagnostic testing and treatment options. 2. Describe the nursing and collaborative management of head-injured patients. 3. Design a plan of care, using the nursing process, for a patient with traumatic brain injury . Activity Reading Assignment Instructions Smeltzer and Bare: Pages 1818-1848 ; 1873-1875; 1911-1926 and Seizure Supplement I recommend that you view this with yo ...

Excerpt: ... to function improperly. Currently the only treatment for a concussion is time. Concussions are one of the most common, yet untreatable injuries in the world. (Weir, 2007) Although sports-related incidents are the most recognized causes of concussions, there are many other ways to contract them. " Traumatic brain injury is an important source of morbidity in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars" (Warden, 2006, p.398). There have been more than 1700 cases of mild traumatic brain injury since the war's start. In most cases immediate symptoms occur instantaneously. Some examples of these are a vacant stare, loss of consciousness, slow speech, and memory loss. These symptoms should not be used to determine the severity of the concussion because some individuals only display them subtly. Concussions typically do not produce any obvious findings on CT or MRI scans. "However, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans have shown asymmetric and reduced regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) for patients with a ...

Excerpt: ... analysis. Concept Analysis We decide that an online search would indeed have multiple concepts and the conference papers and other materials databases-so we begin to analyze the help to answer this query-it does user is looking for articles, which are included in online concepts it contains. Concept means the abstract idea of a thing, regardless of what it may be called in a given instance. This is because very often a single concept (e.g., teacher) will have more than one recognizable name (instructor, tutor, professor, lecturer, master, coach). The controlled vocabulary in an information retrieval system is an attempt to standardize these words to one preferred term that will always be used to represent a single concept, so that we will not find the same subject entered under different headings. A golden rule for most retrieval systems is to try to gather together under on heading all the material on one subject. - GW For this search, we identify three concepts: traumatic brain injury , their effects, an ...

Excerpt: ... Traumatic brain injury has many different definitions. In fact, there is still no universally agreed upon definition of traumatic brain injury .3 The most common way to describe it is an insult to the brain by means of external physical force, that may produce an altered state of consciousness, which results in impairment of cognitive abilities or physical functioning. These impairments may be either temporary or permanent and may cause partial or total disability.1 There are an estimated 1.5 million brain injuries within the population of the United States. Within the general population, we find that traumatic brain injury is the highest in young people and elderly.3(p3) The severity of traumatic brain injury may range from individuals who die before admission to the hospital to those who may not need a medical evaluation. Patients with traumatic brain injury experience physical difficulties having to do with speech, hearing, vision, mobility, eating, and swallowing. Headaches, seizures, noise, taste changes, ...

Excerpt: ... Heather Williams CDS 462 Article Summary Guercio, Podolka-Schroeder, and Rehfeldt (2004) conducted a study to determine if stimulus equivalence technology could adequately teach emotion recognition to adults suffering from the effects of brain injuries. The participants included 3 adults, ages 19-27 who had all suffered a traumatic brain injury within the last 6 months and also had Glasgow Coma Scale ratings of 12 or 13 upon the beginning of the program. The program method involved the use of a computer with three groups of stimuli. The A group included words naming emotions that were presented orally to the participants. The B group was black and white Ekman photographs used for their ability to portray emotions to a cross-cultural population. The C group was new pictures using models appearing physically different from the Ekman photographs. Training was given to match B-C and A-C. Training sessions were continued until the participant could match eight of nine trials correctly. The number ...

Excerpt: ... th so many of the clinical observations explicitly stated by experts, etc. I thought there could be more uncertainty built into the case study so that it more closely reflects what happens in a clinical setting. The goals state the students are supposed to go through stages from a more abstract discussion of what are the possible deficits in an individual with a traumatic brain injury to a specific plan of treatment for the case in question. By presenting a specific case with so much expert testimony at the outset, I did not feel that the students could meet the goals as stated to move from a broad comprehension of symptoms to an awareness of what the case required. It seemed that many of the conclusions they were to reach were hand fed to them. Media The use of video stored on CD-Rom is a good one, [describe in further details how the video was used] though I don't believe it is a substitute for an actual clinical experience.
