Study Notes
Environmental Safety
- Basic human needs include oxygen, nutrition, and temperature regulation.
Environmental Hazards
- Common environmental hazards include motor vehicle accidents, poisoning, falls, fire, and disasters.
Transmission of Pathogens
- Immunizations play a crucial role in preventing the transmission of pathogens.
Factors Influencing Patient Safety
- Developmental stages and risks include:
- Infant, toddler, and preschooler
- School-age child
- Adolescent
- Adult
- Older adult
- Individual risk factors include:
- Workplace culture
- Lifestyle
- Impaired mobility
- Sensory, cognitive, or communication impairment
- Economic resources
- Lack of safety awareness
- Risks in health care agencies include:
- Procedure-related accidents
- Equipment-related accidents
- Chemical exposure
- Falls
- Workplace safety
Nursing Process
- Assessment involves:
- Nursing history and examination
- Psychosocial and cultural background
- Health care environment
- Patient's home environment
- Risk for medical errors and disasters
- Falls
- Psychosocial resources
Analysis and Nursing Diagnosis
- Examples of nursing diagnoses include:
- Risk for injury
- Impaired cognition: confusion
- Lack of knowledge
- Risk for poisoning
Planning and Outcomes Identification
- Patient participation is key to setting priorities and outcomes.
- Priorities should be based on risk and patient characteristics.
- Communication is essential for teamwork and collaboration.
Implementation
- Health promotion involves:
- Developmental interventions for different age groups
- Environmental interventions, such as fall safety in the home
- General preventive measures
- Acute and restorative care involves:
- Fall prevention
- Restraints
- Side rails
- Fire safety
- Electrical hazards
- Seizures
- Disasters
- Preventing workplace violence
Evaluation
- Evaluation involves:
- Monitoring patient outcomes
- Measuring outcomes for each diagnosis
- Continually assessing needs for additional support.
- Ensuring patient and family expectations are met.
