WEEK 7: NURSING TREATMENT

Welcome back to the blog guys! We have learned so much about gastroparesis and now it is time to focus on nursing care and treatment. Why nursing care you ask? Well, I am about to graduate from nursing school in 4 months and I want to learn as much as possible about great nursing care. Why should you care about nurses? Well nurses are your best friend when you are in the hospital. Nurses are your advocate, your support, your counselor, and your caretaker. Nurses are here to see you succeed. So lets find out what nursing treatment looks like.

One of the things that nurses will talk to you about is your nutrition. Nurses can help you figure out ways to get calories and good nutrition into your daily routine. Talk to your nurse about ideas they have. Get creative with them. Nurses can initiate a referral with a dietician or they can point you to some valuable resources in your community. Use your nurses' knowledge and experience to find a routine that works for you.

Another topic that nurses will talk to you about are the medications you will be prescribed. Nurses know all about medications, side effects, uses, and when you should call the doctor. Use your nurse as a resource. Ask them questions. Let them know what you are nervous about or what seems unclear. Nurses will take the time to explain each medication to you.

Lastly, and possibly most importantly, nurses can talk to you about how you are feeling. Nurses are great at giving emotional support. What about this diagnosis is difficult for you? Are you feeling sad? It might be difficult but nurses are great people to be honest about your feelings with. They are a safe person to share your feelings with and they will definitely spend their time listening to you and giving guidance. Nurses can do a lot for you if you let them.

Next week is our last blog post! Sad face!! However, it is a post about nursing diagnosis and care plans. Very helpful for people like me and for nurses all around. For you, it might be a way to see into a nurses' brain. Talk to you next week!

  1. Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis,Shingles, Als,Diabetes,Epilepsy,Infertility, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
