SCCM Resource Library-Nursing Concerns

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, Christy Hertel discusses nursing care during humanitarian crises. Nurses play various roles during these crises, including assisting with evaluations, maternal care, operating room assistance, decontamination, and emotional support. With limited resources, nurses may need to modify their care approaches. The Joint Trauma System provides guidelines for nursing care, including monitoring vital signs, intake and output, skin and splint inspection, foley care, oral and skin care, positioning and range of motion, DVT prevention, and airway management. Accurate documentation is essential to track patient progress and identify necessary interventions. Nurses have shown resilience and creativity during crises, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.
