Study Notes
Environmental Safety
- Basic human needs include oxygen, nutrition, and temperature.
Common Environmental Hazards
- Motor vehicle accidents, poison, falls, fire, and disasters are common environmental hazards.
Transmission of Pathogens
- Immunizations can prevent the transmission of pathogens.
Factors Influencing Patient Safety
Developmental Stages and Risks
- Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers are at risk due to curiosity and exploratory behavior.
- School-age children are at risk due to increased independence and immaturity.
- Adolescents are at risk due to risk-taking behaviors and peer pressure.
- Adults are at risk due to increased responsibility and decreased supervision.
- Older adults are at risk due to decreased physical abilities and cognitive decline.
Individual Risk Factors
- Workplace culture, lifestyle, impaired mobility, sensory, cognitive, or communication impairment, economic resources, and lack of safety awareness can increase individual risk.
Risks in Health Care Agencies
- Procedure-related accidents, equipment-related accidents, chemical exposure, falls, and workplace safety are risks in health care agencies.
Assessment
- Patient's perspective, nursing history, and examination are essential in assessing patient safety.
- Psychosocial and cultural background, health care environment, and patient's home environment should be considered.
Analysis and Nursing Diagnosis
- Examples of nursing diagnoses include risk for injury, impaired cognition, lack of knowledge, and risk for poisoning.
Planning and Outcomes Identification
- Patient participation is key in planning and outcomes identification.
- Setting priorities based on risk and patient characteristics is essential.
- Teamwork and collaboration are critical, and communication is essential.
Implementation
Health Promotion
- Developmental interventions should be tailored to the patient's age, including infant, toddler, preschooler, school-age child, adolescent, adult, and older adult.
- Environmental interventions, such as fall safety in the home, are essential.
- General preventive measures, such as immunizations, are important.
Acute and Restorative Care
- Fall prevention strategies, such as restraints and side rails, are necessary.
- Preventing workplace violence, fires, electrical hazards, seizures, and disasters are essential components of acute and restorative care.
Evaluation
- Patient's expectations and satisfaction should be evaluated to determine the effectiveness of care.
