Please address each bullet point and include in text citations with credible references dated less than 5 years old.Thorough explanation of content presented to audienceAssignment help – Discussion of why this topic is significant to nursing from a disease prevention, health promotion, and/or health maintenance perspective Assignment help – Discussion of why this topic is important to the target audience and the larger communitySupporting statements and in text references about topic included throughout each bullet point.Here is the paper below that needs revised.
The information we presented to our targeted
audience was Hands-Only CPR. Hands-Only
CPR is an important technique that can be taught and performed by the lay
person, which makes a significant impact on the survival of a patient suffering
from a cardiac arrest. According to the American Heart Association every minute
without bystander CPR, survival rates decrease by 10%. Simple steps such as
pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest at a rate of 100 compressions
per minute increases a victim’s survival rate.
Popular songs such as “Stayin Alive” is one example to help remember the
CPR rhythm. A procedure for Hands-Only
CPR saves lives and results to an improved record of neurologic outcomes that
make survival of the patient possible (Sayre, Berg, Cave, Page, Potts, &
White, 2008). Early defibrillation is crucial in this method since it leads to
increased oxygen circulation within a short period.
According to Lockwood (2014), it is the
responsibility of every health professional to save lives. For example, in
California where a senior resident living at Bakersfield suffered a cardiac
arrest but instead of the nurse giving CPR to the victim she called 911. The
reason behind her decision was that she had no permission to provide
resuscitation and, therefore, wouldn’t offer such services (Lockwood, 2014). Unfortunately the patient died. This issue is
now heavily criticized by all medical practitioners who argued institutional
rules cannot match saving lives.
One of
them was Davis Shaywitz of the Forbes magazine who contributes on issues of medicine.
Thus, Hands-Only CPR is critical in health promotion, disease prevention as
well as health maintenance, especially to the cardiac arrest victims (Sayre,
Berg, Cave, Page, Potts, & White, 2008).
If the nurse administered Hands-Only CPR, she could have possibly saved
her life. The issue of administering CPR doesn’t lie on health professionals
only but also to the society as a whole.
The question on Hands-Only CPR is important to
everyone in the society as well as the healthcare professionals. For example, the above referenced patient in California. If the police had the knowledge about CPR,
the woman would have survived (Lockwood, 2014). The same applies to us as the
healthcare professional; the methods of administering Hands-Only CPR, its role,
and training should be at our fingertips. Amongst the students, it is their
responsibility to maintain the health of all patients, especially to the
cardiac arrest patients (Sayre, Berg, Cave, Page, Potts, & White, 2008).
One way to maintain the health of the society as a whole is by training members
on Hands-Only CPR procedures.
Lockwood (2014) states that a student equipped
with that knowledge are in a position to indicate additional treatment. Another
fact to look at as students is contraindications of Hands-Only CPR. An example
of contraindication of CPR is that of a woman who died in California. As per
the argument of the nurse who was supposed to attend the patient, the victim
had permission to resuscitation. The question is how the society helps in Hands-Only
CPR administration (Sayre, Berg, Cave, Page, Potts, & White, 2008). For the community at least they should be in a
position to do the basics like chest compression and giving a breath of life
(Oxygenation) so that if a patient is critically ill they can do the first aid
before the medical staff arrives (Lockwood, 2014).
