NANDA-I, NIC and NOC in Anxiety Reduction and Control

Anxiety Disorder is a prevalent condition among Americans and an essential part of First Aid training for anxiety and BLS for Healthcare Providers.

Still, nurses face clinical deadlock situations where the judgment of data is challenging and varied. This need inspired the development of a common language to help nurses and medical practitioners diagnose patients better and come up with the proper treatment or outcomes.

NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC are the three elements in medicine that resulted from those efforts. These elements are standardized nursing languages common in nursing literature.

The American Nurses Association accepts the three standardized languages, namely;

  1. Diagnoses given by NANDA International (NANDA-I),
  2. Interventions by the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC),
  3. The outcomes of the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC).

These are broad taxonomies that spell out terms for patient problems, interventions, and outcomes. According to a 2011 study, the implementation of NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC or NNN has improved nursing data efficiency.

To better understand NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC, we require a general patient scenario to understand these elements.

In this post, our patient scenario is anxiety. First, we will discuss the general public understanding of stress and then look at NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC definitions and their steps to dealing with anxiety.

Facts about Hot Water Heaters & Basic first aid for Electric shock

Water and electricity don’t mix like gin and nuns, which explains why you must be cautious when handling DIY projects like fixing a hot water heater or responding to an emergency.

While DIY is okay for some home problems, others are risky or require an expert to ensure proper fixing and a long-standing solution. But whether to hire an electrician to fix your hot water heater or go DIY is a personal decision.

Nevertheless, always be cautious when working on electrical appliances that rely on both power and water. And as an extra precaution, learn basic first aid for electric shock.

Your safety is priority number one because water can worsen the chances of surviving an electric shock.

For instance, electric shock drowning is a US-coined term used to describe death when a swimmer is electrocuted or exposed to electricity in the water.

Sometimes, the shock itself can be fatal because it paralyzes the victim’s diaphragm, while in other cases, it electrocutes the swimmer causing them to drown. Its primary cause is faulty electrical wiring that leaks electric waves into the water.
