Study Notes
Functional Ability Assessment
- Measures a client's ability to complete daily tasks.
- Measures the impact of illness on self-care.
- Determines the level of assistance needed.
- Monitors changes in functional ability due to chronic health alterations.
Types of Assessments
- Social
- Economic
- Mental health
- Physical health
- Self-care capacity
Functional Ability
- An individual's functional ability often decreases due to illness or accident.
- The responsibility of nurses is to work with clients to determine their level of functional ability and plan interventions that promote independence.
- Tools to assess functional ability include:
- Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): assesses bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, continence, and feeding. One point is given for independent task completion and no points if assistance is needed. Higher scores indicate greater independence.
- Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs): assesses more complex daily tasks such as using a phone, managing medications, and handling finances. Higher scores indicate greater independence.
- Braden Scale: measures risk for pressure wounds based on sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction/shear. Scores of 16 or less are considered at risk. Lower scores indicate higher risk.
Hygiene & Tissue Integrity
- Bathing Order: Provides a detailed sequence for hygiene care, including specific instructions for eye, face, arms, chest, abdomen, legs, and perineal care.
- Foot Care: Instructions emphasize inspecting feet, washing them, drying thoroughly, applying lotion, and considerations for individuals with decreased circulation.
- Eye Care: Detailed steps for eye hygiene are presented.
- Oral Care: Instructions and procedures for oral care are provided.
- Includes hygiene tasks and the tools to assess functional abilities.
