Study Notes
Cells and Tissues
- Cells are fundamental units of structure and function in organisms.
- Tissues, composed of similar cells, perform specific functions collectively.
Healing and Regeneration
- Healing is a vital quality of living tissue, encompassing the regeneration of cells and tissues.
Pressure Injuries
- Stages and grading of pressure injuries need to be reviewed for effective understanding and management.
- Risk factors for pressure injuries include both primary and contributing factors.
Preparation for Class
- Use Primal Pictures/Anatomy.TV for in-depth anatomy and physiology of cells.
- Review the inflammatory process activated when the body's defenses are compromised.
- Familiarize with common pressure sites prone to injuries.
Pre-Knowledge
- Understand the pathophysiology of inflammation and differentiate it from infection.
- Review acute versus chronic inflammation and auto-immune responses.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize risk factors contributing to cell injury or death.
- Analyze the pathophysiological processes driven by cell injuries.
- Identify various cell adaptations in response to injury.
- Distinguish between different types of exudates.
- Learn to assess signs and symptoms associated with inflammation.
- Collect subjective and objective data through nursing assessments in related disorders.
- Understand the pathophysiology and risk factors of pressure injuries.
- Classify pressure injuries based on staging criteria.
- Develop nursing interventions to prevent pressure injuries.
- Differentiate between arterial, venous, and neuropathic ulcers.
- Create a nursing care plan addressing cell and tissue disorders.
Key Terminology
- Infection: Presence of pathogenic organisms causing disease.
- Inflammation: Body's response to injury or infection characterized by redness, heat, swelling, and pain.
- Exudates: Fluid, cells, and cellular debris that leak from blood vessels into surrounding tissues.
- Pressure injuries: Localized damage to the skin and underlying tissue due to prolonged pressure.
- Ischemia: Inadequate blood supply to a tissue, leading to cell damage.
Assignments and Activities
- Assess the role of professional nursing in managing tuberculosis.
- Analyze a case study on a patient, including subjective and objective data collection and nursing diagnosis evaluation.
Pharmacological Concepts
- Leukotriene receptor modifiers mitigate inflammation linked to asthma.
- Prolonged use of nasal decongestants may result in rebound congestion.
