Study Notes
Biomedical Model of Health
- Defines health narrowly as the absence of disease or elimination of disease symptoms.
Emergency Database
- Used for rapid data collection during life-saving measures.
- Information compiled concurrently with urgent care.
Medical Diagnosis
- Evaluates the underlying cause of a disease.
Subjective Data
- Based on patient-reported information.
- Example: "Left knee has been swollen and hot for the past 3 days."
Complete Database
- Necessary for individuals in long-term care facilities.
- Consists of thorough health history and physical examination, providing a baseline for future health assessments.
Objective Data
- Based on healthcare professional observations.
- Example: "Alert and oriented" reflects observable behavior.
Additional Example of Objective Data
- "Crepitation in the left knee joint" demonstrates assessment through physical examination techniques.
Nursing Diagnosis
- Defined as a clear statement of actual or potential health concerns or wellness levels.
Importance of Complete Database
- Integrates both current and past health states for comprehensive care evaluation and monitoring.
First-Level Priority Problems
- Emergent and life-threatening issues identified in patient assessments.
- Example: "Impaired gas exchange" denotes an immediate concern requiring priority action.
