Veins are low-pressure vessels that carry deoxygenated blood away from the body's organs and back to the heart. An abnormal clot that forms in a vein may restrict the return of blood to the heart and can result in pain and swelling as the blood gathers behind the clot. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a type of clot that forms in a major vein of the leg or, less commonly, in the arms, pelvis, or other large veins in the body.
From the patientsâ perspective, care has become centered not on the needs of patients, but around the needs of the system itself. Patient-centered care is a quality benchmark actively sought by medical care professionals, eager to deliver dignified care and re-establish patient satisfaction.
Getting to know the person behind the patient is the raison d'Ãªtre of person-centred nursing care. So what is person-centred nursing? A person-centred approach to nursing focuses on the individualâs personal needs, wants, desires and goals so that they become central to the care and nursing process. This can mean putting the personâs needs, as they define them, above those identified as priorities by healthcare professionals.
