    Study Notes

    Overview of BRN100 Course

    • Orientation to BRN100 course and independent university-level learning is emphasized.
    • Introduces a study guide that outlines pathophysiology and pharmacokinetics.
    • Focus on understanding clinical judgement models and action plans.

    Clinical Reasoning

    • Clinical judgement is critical in nursing for effective patient assessment and decision-making.
    • Utilizes cues to identify patient problems, prioritize issues, and develop solutions.

    Clinical Judgement Model (CJM)

    • Stages of Clinical Judgement:
      • Recognizing cues: Observing signs and symptoms from the patient and environment.
      • Analyzing cues: Using knowledge to interpret cues and make inferences.
      • Prioritizing hypotheses: Listing possible client problems based on the analysis.
      • Generating solutions: Identifying and selecting potential interventions with evidence.
      • Evaluating outcomes: Assessing the effectiveness of interventions through outcomes.

    SMART Goals in Nursing

    • Specific: Outline clear and precise objectives.
    • Measurable: Establish criteria to track progress.
    • Attainable: Set realistic and achievable objectives.
    • Relevant: Ensure goals are aligned with the patient's care needs.
    • Timely: Set deadlines for achieving goals to maintain focus on progress.

    Functional Ability Overview

    • Functional ability refers to an individual's capacity to perform everyday activities essential for independent living, covering physical, cognitive, and psychosocial domains.
    • Factors influencing functional ability include chronic health conditions, neurological disorders, aging, and mental health challenges.

    Patient Assessment and Pathophysiology Application

    • Gather detailed patient history to understand chronic conditions and previous injuries that affect functional ability.
    • Patient experiences should be explored through subjective assessments, discussing limitations and challenges in daily activities.
    • Comprehensive physical examination focusing on mobility, strength, balance, and coordination.
    • Utilize standardized tools to quantify the level of functional impairment, considering cognitive and psychosocial factors impacting functional ability.

    Critical Medical Diagnosis Example

    • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hypertension as primary conditions affecting the 78-year-old male patient.
    • Subjective data reveals recent respiratory distress; objective data indicates cyanosis and elevated respiratory rates suggestive of exacerbation.

    Lab and Diagnostic Contributions

    • Arterial blood gas tests indicating low oxygen levels must correlate with the patient's presenting concerns of severe dyspnea.
    • Vital signs suggest significant cardiovascular stress, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention in acute situations.

    Application of Clinical Judgement

    • Employ clinical judgement in case study scenarios by assessing and applying pathophysiology reasoning throughout the evaluation process.
    • Utilize clinical judgement tools collectively to address functional ability challenges in various health conditions like spinal cord injuries and chronic diseases.
