Nursing care plan for patients with persistent COVID

ABSTRACT

Since the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic began, different protocols, clinical guides and documents have been developed with the objective of providing the most appropriate care to patients affected by Coronavirus infections with persistent symptoms. However, there is a great variability in the management and treatment of those patients affected by persistent COVID, because of an imprecise definition of their diagnosis, as well as the numerous and varied signs and symptoms they present, there is great difficulty in monitoring these patients. Primary Health Care is considered the most appropriate service for the holistic care of people affected by persistent COVID. Because of their training and skills, Primary Care Nursing can be the appropriate professional to monitor these patients and coordinate the different levels of care in a multidisciplinary team. The limited bibliography found about care in patients with persistent COVID has motivated the implementation of Patient Care Planning that is useful to improve the management of these patients. For this, the evaluation has been carried out in accordance with the functional patterns established by Marjory Gordon and has been used in the NANDA-NIC-NOC taxonomy. This nursing care plan must be individualized according to the characteristics of the patient we are attending.
