Study Notes
Nursing Process and Assessments
- Reevaluating and creating a new nursing diagnosis based on client findings allows for updated interventions and goals.
- Nursing assessments must be completed within 24 hours of inpatient admission and cannot be delegated.
- All clients should be assessed for pain, nutritional status, and fall risk as per The Joint Commission standards.
Data Collection and Nursing Diagnoses
- Primary data includes subjective and objective information from the client, such as heavy menstrual flow and its connection to anemia.
- A medical diagnosis identifies illness and pathology, while a nursing diagnosis focuses on the client's health status and nursing interventions.
- The priority of nursing diagnoses based on Maslow's hierarchy: airway clearance takes precedence over breathing patterns, fluid volume, fall risk, wandering, and memory impairment.
Interventions and Outcomes
- Interdependent interventions indicate collaboration with healthcare team members, such as respiratory therapists for oxygen usage.
- The Nursing Outcome Classification scale classifies circulation status; a rating of 3 indicates moderate compromise.
- Promoting client participation in a nursing plan includes ensuring comfort in questions, simplicity in instructions, alignment of goals, and setting realistic expectations.
Specific Nursing Considerations
- Ineffective breathing patterns are a priority nursing diagnosis when a client exhibits increasing shortness of breath.
- Objective data, such as an elevated temperature, is measurable and used to inform nursing diagnoses.
- Comprehensive nursing care plans are crucial for addressing unique client needs holistically.
Client Education and Discharge Planning
- To facilitate care while helping a client with ambulation, seeking assistance is crucial if the client is unable to move independently.
- Valid pain management goals should be specific and measurable, such as reporting pain levels.
- A nursing diagnosis must convey a problem, related factor, and connecting phrase, adhering to NANDA-I standards.
Lifestyle Factors and Health Promotion
- Lifestyle factors can greatly affect sleep patterns, as seen in clients with irregular work shifts who struggle with fatigue.
- Tetracycline is known to cause yellowing of teeth in children with prolonged use.
- Clients expressing a desire to improve health behaviors, such as walking daily, may be given a health promotion nursing diagnosis.
Assessment Challenges
- When assessment data applies to multiple diagnoses, further information must be gathered, related factors identified, and defining characteristics reviewed to clarify the situation.### Nursing Diagnostic Process
- Correct interpretation of information enables accurate selection of nursing diagnoses.
- Related factors provide context for defining client characteristics.
- Individualizing nursing diagnoses requires identification of related factors.
- Review and confirm relevant defining characteristics while eliminating irrelevant ones.
- Data clusters form after thorough reassessment and validation of assessment data.
- Not all diagnoses need rejection; review supports relevant diagnosis confirmation.
Steps of the Nursing Diagnostic Process
- First, assess the client's health status through data gathering.
- Validate collected data with other sources to ensure accuracy.
- Interpret the meaning of the validated data for understanding client needs.
- Cluster data to identify relationships between findings.
- Look for defining characteristics that indicate the client's health issues.
- Identify client’s needs based on the diagnostic information.
- Formulate nursing diagnoses based on identified health problems.
Differences Between Nursing and Medical Diagnoses
- Nursing diagnoses actively involve the client in the assessment and care process.
- Medical diagnoses focus on disease conditions identified via diagnostic tests.
- Nursing diagnoses classify health issues to be treated within the nursing domain and reflect clinical judgment of client responses.
Importance of Nursing Diagnosis
- Planning phase of the nursing process relies heavily on established nursing diagnoses.
- A clear and accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate planning and intervention.
Symptoms of Digoxin Toxicity
- The digoxin toxicity is indicated by symptoms such as vomiting, bradycardia, and dysrhythmias.
- Digoxin improves heart efficiency, but overdose can lead to serious complications.
Diagnostic Labels
- Diagnostic labels encapsulate the essence of a client's response to health conditions.
- Labels are concise representations of nursing diagnoses, approved by NANDA-I.
Characteristics of Risk Nursing Diagnoses
- Risk diagnoses lack defined related factors since they indicate potential responses not yet manifested.
- These diagnoses focus on preventive measures for vulnerable individuals and populations.
Benefits of Standard Nursing Diagnostic Statements
- Foster the development of nursing knowledge and clinical understanding.
- Provide precise definitions of client problems, aiding clear communication.
- Distinguish nursing roles from other healthcare providers, emphasizing nurses' responsibilities.
Critical Thinking in Nursing
- Critical thinking is purposeful, analytical, and results in informed decision-making.
- Essential for holistic care, combining various knowledge fields and skills in fast-paced environments.
Phases of the Nursing Process
- Assessment: Initial data gathering about the client's health.
- Diagnosis: Identification of client health needs based on assessment.
- Planning: Establishing goals and interventions to be implemented.
- Implementation: Executing planned interventions to support client care.
- Evaluation: Assessing the effectiveness of interventions and overall client outcomes.
Types of Nursing Knowledge
- Theoretical knowledge rooted in evidence and theory.
- Practical knowledge gained through hands-on experience.
- Self-knowledge reflecting on personal beliefs and practices.
- Ethical knowledge guiding moral and ethical decision-making.
Types of Nursing Diagnoses
- Actual diagnoses indicate current health issues.
- Risk diagnoses suggest potential health risks.
- Possible diagnoses identify areas needing further assessment.
- Wellness diagnoses promote optimal health states.
- Syndrome diagnoses encapsulate collective health responses.
Delegation
- Nurses must not delegate interventions requiring specialized knowledge or judgment.
- The "Five Rights of Delegation" ensure safe and effective delegation to appropriate personnel.
Cultural Concepts in Nursing
- Bicultural individuals identify with and integrate multiple cultures.
- Multiculturalism refers to diverse cultural groups.
- Ethnocentrism is the belief in the superiority of one's own culture.
- Vulnerable populations include groups at higher risk for health issues due to socioeconomic factors.
Safety and Developmental Factors
- Safety varies across developmental stages:
- Infants and toddlers lack danger recognition.
- Preschoolers are adventurous but need supervision.
- School-age children face risks from unfamiliar environments.
- Adolescents engage in risky behavior due to a sense of invincibility.
- Adults may face workplace injuries and health decline with age.
- Older adults often experience physiological changes that impact safety.
Health Problems
- Defined as conditions requiring intervention to prevent or resolve disease and support wellness.
