Rol de Enfermería en Pacientes Hospitalizados con neumonía en el Hospital Dr. Enrique Ortega Moreira

Abstract

This article examines the role of nursing staff in patients hospitalised with pneumonia at the Hospital General Dr. Enrique Ortega Moreira. The central problem is the lack of evaluation, which has prevented the identification of areas where the quality of care for patients with pneumonia and the efficiency in the implementation of treatment protocols by nursing staff could be improved. The main reasons for this are probably the lack of monitoring and evaluation, which leads to deficits in patient care; inadequate assertive communication in the interdisciplinary team, which leads to conflicts and other negative aspects; and the high workload, which leads to high stress, fatigue, low productivity and other unfavourable conditions for the nursing staff. The aim of this study was to analyse the role of nurses in the care of 3 pneumonia patients. For this purpose, the tasks assigned by physicians were identified, nursing procedures in the care of pneumonia patients were described and the quality of care provided by the nursing staff was evaluated. The findings show that nurses face significant challenges in managing patients with pneumonia, particularly in maintaining respect, sensitivity and care through accurate diagnosis and treatment. Care of patients with pneumonia is classified according to risk factors and the need for hospitalisation.
