Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how common adverse events are among critically ill patients in an intensive care unit and how much care they require.
- Conducted from January to March 2020, it analyzed incidents like pressure injuries, accidental extubation, and healthcare-associated infections, using a Nursing Activities Score to measure care hours provided.
- Results showed that over half of the 88 patients experienced adverse events, linked to increased care needs, severity of conditions, and longer hospital stays, indicating a critical shortage of nursing staff that could impact patient safety.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to validate the nursing diagnosis of "risk for corneal injury" in critically ill adults, emphasizing the need for ongoing research in diverse populations for clinical evidence.
- - Conducted in Northern Brazil, the prospective cohort study involved assessing 209 patients over 10 days, revealing that 76% were at risk, with 16.3% actually developing corneal injuries linked to identified risk factors.
- - Key risk factors include eyeball exposure, a Glasgow score under 6, and periorbital edema, which can inform nursing interventions and enhance the diagnosis's reliability within the NANDA International Taxonomy.
