Alternative methods of reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting
Evidence-based solution
This paper seeks to determine alternative methods of reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting in teenagers during the first six months compared to adults. There is an existing gap in the health care system, whereby there is minimal usage of proper medication to treat surgical patients. More so, the treatment procedures are dangerous to surgical patients due to side effects. In this case, QueaseEase is an evidence-based solution to solve nausea and vomiting. It is an aromatic inhaler that is user friendly to people of all ages. Weibel et al. (2017), asserts that the use of QueaseEase is effective and efficient to people of all ages and have no adverse side effects. In this case, it is the best alternative method of reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting compared to medications.
Nursing intervention
Unlike adults, teenagers’ are vulnerable to nausea and vomiting symptoms after surgical operations due to anesthesia injections. Nurses are the focal point towards teenagers’ views of post-treatment implications and the proper approach to comfort-ability. They ought to provide medical follow-up and enhance the adolescents to have a health plan during the post-treatment period. They should use QueaseEase as the best therapy for the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Importantly, a stable relationship between the nurses and patients facilitates greater responsibility for quality health care (Walker et al., 2019). More so, they are prone to moods, emotions, and illnesses when they lack adequate moral support.
Patient care
The teenage cognitive and emotional frame lacks adequate understanding and addressed after surgical treatment, despite the vast information available concerning potential medical consequences, adolescents face the highest risk of complications. However, they are factors concerning the quality of health care versus supportive framework. Garcia-Vivar, Elizondo, and Ambrosio (2019) illustrate that both physical and psychosocial approaches are crucial to enhance the well-being of postoperative patients. In this case, the nurses should utilize patient and health-friendly products as well as a follow-up to establish a healthy lifestyle. The care plan should remain intact and implemented for a long-term basis, especially when the symptoms reoccur.
Health care agency
In the 21st century, health care agencies are relying on information systems and innovations to facilitate efficient health care. In post-operation and anesthesia care units, clinicians have adequate information concerning the patient’s reaction to particular treatment approaches. The research agencies provide data concerning teenager’s results and what they need to help them adequately without adverse effects. Health care agencies have developed safety programs for enhancing effective and efficient practices in post-operations, such as the introduction of patient-friendly treatment methods. Therefore, they will achieve a collective goal of improving patient experience and the long-term healing process.
Nursing practice
Nurses have identified the urgency of implementing a holistic approach towards the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting amongst teenagers. It has facilitated the development of optimal algorithms of care and professional attitude towards emotional and internal body reactions (Rosenzweig, Kota, and van Londen, 2017). In this case, the nurses provide adequate care at a shorter period with fewer risks involved. APRN-CNS and APRN-CNS (2017), reported that patient satisfaction is facilitated by advanced nursing practices and survivorship care program. In conclusion, the use of QueseEase method is useful to the treatment of post-operation patients without negative implications. Teenagers require a proper medical approach to enhance their health, emotions, and psychological phenomenon.
