The auscultatory, or manual, method remains the gold standard for non-invasive BP measurement, so it is vital that nurses are able to undertake this procedure accurately. This article explains how to take and record a manual BP measurement using an aneroid sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope. Nurses and nursing students undertaking this procedure must be equipped with the knowledge and skills to do so proficiently and work within their scope of practice. • BP measurement comprises two pressure readings, systolic and diastolic, which are measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and expressed in documentation as a 'fraction'. • Inaccurate BP measurement, whether overestimation or underestimation, can result in diagnostic errors and incorrect risk assessment and decision-making. • Various factors can influence the accuracy of BP measurement, including patient positioning, cuff size, arm position and correct use of the stethoscope. • It is vital to ensure regular maintenance and recalibration of BP measuring equipment, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, to ensure accuracy of readings.

Many higher education students, including nursing students, are experiencing financial difficulties and concerns, which adversely affect their mental health and can cause them to consider leaving their course. This article reports the findings of an online survey undertaken in one university in Glasgow, Scotland, that aimed to explore the effects of financial stress on second and third-year nursing students. Most respondents had experienced financial worries since starting their preregistration nursing degree programme; many were concerned about the cost of living, and financial worries adversely affected their academic performance and clinical placements. The authors suggest there is a need for a collaborative partnership between universities and practice placement areas to adopt a student-centred approach to identifying solutions to nursing students' financial concerns as well as a review of the available funding for this cohort.","PeriodicalId":19327,"journal":{"name":"Nursing standard (Royal College of Nursing (Great Britain) : 1987)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142932309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It involves the insertion of a small tube into a vein using a needle, enabling the administration of fluids, blood products and nutrition, and the collection of blood samples. Healthcare professionals performing this procedure must undergo training to be able to undertake it effectively and safely. • Knowledge of vein anatomy and understanding the risks and benefits of the procedure supports safe practice, reduces errors, costs and infection risk, and improves the overall patient experience. • To provide holistic care, nurses should understand the indications for peripheral IV cannulation, which can be a short-term intervention for administering medicines, fluids and blood products, and for parenteral nutrition • Various pharmacological interventions and psychological techniques can be used to alleviate or minimise the pain and anxiety experienced by some patients during cannulation. • Following the successful insertion of a peripheral IV cannula, nurses must provide ongoing care to preserve the cannula's patency and safeguard the patient.

An ECG machine uses cables or 'leads' attached with stick-on electrodes to specific parts of the body to create a series of ECG traces, which are then printed onto graph paper. This provides a recording of the cardiac electrical activity measured from different angles or perspectives. • A 12-lead ECG is a valuable diagnostic tool that has proven effective in detecting various cardiac abnormalities or enabling healthcare professionals to rule them out. • It is a cost-effective investigation that can be performed by any appropriately trained healthcare professional. • Careful preparation and correct electrode and lead placement are crucial to ensure accuracy when recording a 12-lead ECG.Reflective activity: How to' articles can help to update your practice and ensure it remains evidence-based.

PEFR measures the speed at which air is forcefully exhaled from full inspiration, expressed in litres per minute (L/min). It involves using a peak flow meter - a simple, affordable, portable and widely available device that can be used in clinic or home settings. Nurses obtaining a patient's PEFR must have the knowledge and skills required to do so safely and effectively and must work within their level of competence. • PEFR is a simple-to-obtain measure that records the maximal flow rate of air that can be achieved in one forceful expiration following a full inspiration. • Where possible, it is advisable that patients and/or carers learn how to perform the test themselves, so that they can self-manage and monitor conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. • The procedure is simple to teach, but it is necessary to use the correct technique to achieve accurate results.
