Family Presence and Support During Resuscitation
Family presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (FPDR) is an evidence-based practice in the hospital setting. Members of the interdisciplinary team should adhere to ethical principles and patient and family-centered care concepts when offering interventions to support the family member during this potential end-of-life crisis. FPDR is an option for family members who are interested, screened as appropriate, and supported by a family facilitator. Essential components to guide this practice include developing an FPDR policy, educating the health care team, and creating evaluation methods. (Source: Critical Care Nursing ...

Nurses can assist with both patient ’s and family member’s abilities to obtain nonfragmented sleep. Education is important for families to understand the importance of sleep, and nurses can also supply families with simple comfort measures such as ear plugs, eye masks, and a comfortable sleep location.

Research suggests that interventions aimed at improving sleep quality have produced positive effects in reducing incidences and duration of delirium. Sleep disturbance is well documented among intensive care patients; however, its prognostic impact is not fully understood. Delirium, disproportionally prevalent among intensive care patients, has significant prognostic factors related to patient outcomes, in which sleep disturbance often is present. The relationship between sleep disturbance and delirium is...

Effect of Opioids on Sleep
Opioid medications are often used to manage pain in the intensive care unit. Opioids, whether used as recreational drugs or for hospital patient pain management, impact the quality of sleep. Nurses should assess for pain and provide appropriate amounts of pain medications, while minimizing opioid use once the patient can tolerate non-narcotic medications. Nurses should assess the intensive care unit patient ’s sleep quality and be mindful of the effect that opioid medications have on sleep quality.
