Comfort Contract

In this week’s student learning outcomes, I was able to investigate the ways in which various nursing models influence nurses’ daily practice and their operations. I was specifically able to look into how nurses avail their care and interventions to post-surgical patients in a more effective and personalized manner. I learned the impact of a comfort contract that ensures patients get the best care during their post-surgical recovery period. 

Comfort Contract

This comfort contract acts as an agreement between [attending nurse] and [patient name], and it contains details regarding the expected level of comfort and discomforts that patients may experience and the interventions that may be effective in solving the discomforts. 

The [patient name] and [attending nurse] agree to the following:-

  1. [Patient name] will provide details of their expectations regarding comfort and discomfort based on their medical history. 
  2. [Attending nurse] will refer to the expectations of [patient name] and then provide the necessary information and interventions.
  3. [Attending nurse] will ensure that regular checks are conducted on the patients to gauge their progress and provide any additional intervention needed. 
  4. [Patient name] will be sure to inform the [attending nurse] about any changes in their condition time after time.

Discussion prompts: 

  1. The human population depends on various natural resources, plants, and other members of the animal kingdom for our survival and lifestyles. Take a day in your life at home and at work and think of items or ways you could reduce or do away with. In what ways does the reduction promote resource depletion? As a nurse, how would you advocate for mitigating unrestricted consumption and its effects on the human population and health? (USLOs 5.1, 5.2)

OR

  1. Take any two finite/non-renewable resources and discuss ways to conserve them or promote their sustainable use. How do the effects of resource depletion intersect with socioeconomic status, gender, race/ethnicity, and health outcomes? Explain. Next, in what ways can nurses encourage sustainability in their personal and professional settings? (USLOs 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4)

    • Describe how technology and informatics are used to support the interventions used in practice?
    • Describe how employing evidence-based practice guidelines improve patient outcomes?
  2. What benefits and challenges have you experienced with (the integration of) information technology in your practice?
  3. What strategies did you, or could you, use to overcome these challenges?
