Study Notes
Rehabilitation and Care Types
- Rehabilitation involves short-term care, typically lasting 1-2 weeks.
- Restorative care is long-term, generally associated with nursing home residents and requires stable conditions.
- Palliative care provides relief from disease symptoms without aiming for a cure.
Normal Vitals
- Temperature: Normal range is 97.8°F - 99.1°F (36.5°C - 37.3°C), with an average of 98.6°F (37°C).
- Pulse: Normal resting heart rate is between 60 to 100 beats per minute.
- Oxygen Saturation: A healthy O2 saturation level ranges from 95 to 100 percent.
- Respirations: Normal breathing rate is 12 to 18 breaths per minute.
-
Blood Pressure:
- Normal: 90/60 mm Hg to 120/80 mm Hg.
- Elevated: Systolic 120-129, Diastolic less than 80.
- Stage 1 High Blood Pressure: Systolic 130-139, Diastolic 80-89.
- Stage 2 High Blood Pressure: Systolic 140 or higher, Diastolic 90 or higher.
Reporting Procedures
- Essential to record and report anything new (bruises, cuts), unfamiliar occurrences, and abnormal vitals to the charge nurse.
Personal Care Tasks
- Key tasks include bathing, dressing, grooming, shaving, supporting oral hygiene, caring for hair and skin, and maintaining a clean environment.

Infection Control Practices
- Universal Precautions: Protocols aimed at preventing disease spread through blood and fluids.
- Standard Precautions: Infection control assuming all body fluids are infectious; hand washing is crucial.
- Transmission-Based Precautions: Additional CDC precautions for known or suspected infections based on the transmission route.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Includes gowns, masks, goggles, and gloves as protective measures.
Infection Prevention Key Points
