Studies at acute care hospitals have shown that missed nursing care are a major problem. One particular study was done on 4 hospitals, 11% of missing nursing care was because of a lack of communication and teamwork.

While the patient may be ill due to a bacterial infection or virus, their family environment also plays a role in their overall health and wellness. Care in of the patient in context of family stems
authors of the article “Is Nursing Care Missed? A Comparative Study of Three North Carolina Hospitals” seek to “identify frequency and types of missed care as well as reasons for missed care in three acute care hospitals in North Carolina” (Maloney, S., Fencl, J., & Hardin, S.

This period of time focuses on not only the initial stage of the patient deteriorating, but will also cover the following 36 hour period of care where the patient was stable but still at a possible risk of deterioration. By covering this time period, this case study will have the opportunity to not only look into the psychosocial aspects of care provided, but also look into the clinical settings the care was provided
Self-care has a very different meaning for people. It varies from person to person and can be based on age, gender, religion, occupation, and their type of lifestyle that they live. For myself, my self-care has changed since starting nursing school and I now know have to look at it in terms of nursing.
