Study Notes
Glaucoma
- Group of eye disorders characterized by optic nerve damage caused by increased intraocular pressure (IOP).
- Risk factors include aging, family history, diabetes, high blood pressure, eye injuries, and certain medications.
- Three main types: Primary Open Angle (POAG), Angle Closure/Closed Angle, and Secondary.
Primary Open Angle (POAG)
- Most common form of glaucoma.
- Slow drainage of fluid within the eye causes increased IOP.
- Can damage optic nerve over time.
- Symptoms often develop slowly and may include blurred vision, headaches, and halos around lights.
Angle Closure/Closed Angle (Acute)
- Occurs when the angle between the iris and cornea is closed, blocking fluid drainage and increasing IOP.
- Sudden onset, causing severe pain around the eyes, headaches, nausea and vomiting.
- Medical emergency requiring immediate treatment.
Secondary Glaucoma
- Caused by ocular conditions such as tumors, trauma, eye surgery, or uveitis.
- Can have a slow or abrupt onset.
- Diagnosis involves using a tonometer to measure IOP and a slit lamp microscope for detailed examination.
- Perimetry and gonioscopy can help assess visual field and determine the angle of the iris and cornea.
- Optic nerve imaging helps monitor the health of the optic nerve.
- Treatment includes medications to lower IOP and surgical interventions to improve fluid drainage.
Cataracts
- Clouding of the natural lens of the eye, causing blurry or dimmed vision.
- Can occur due to age, trauma, exposure, or disorders like diabetes or hypoparathyroidism.
- Symptoms include blurred vision, halos around lights, sensitivity to light and glare, frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions, and double vision in a single eye.
- Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the clouded lens and replace it with an artificial lens.
Eye Trauma
- Types of trauma include foreign bodies, lacerations, and penetrating injuries.
- Prevention is key and involves wearing protective eyewear during activities that pose a risk to the eyes.
Corneal Abrasion
- A scratch or scrape of the cornea that is often caused by a foreign body, trauma, or contact lens use.
- Can lead to infection, inflammation, and ultimately corneal ulceration.
- Symptoms include pain, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and a feeling of something in the eye.
- Treatment involves removing any foreign bodies, irrigating the eye, and using antibiotic drops.
Keratoconus
- Degeneration of the cornea causing a cone-shaped protrusion.
- Leads to uneven corneal surface and distorted vision.
- Treatment includes contact lenses, corneal collagen crosslinking, and in severe cases, corneal transplant.
The Next Generation NCLEX (NGN)
- Designed for nursing licensure examination.
- Focuses on enhancing the assessment of clinical judgment in nursing practice.
Key Features of NGN
- Emphasis on critical thinking and decision-making skills in nursing practice.
- Tests real-life scenarios nurses may encounter in practice.
Innovative Item Types
- Includes new item formats beyond traditional multiple-choice questions.
- Examples:
- Case studies with multiple questions related to a single patient scenario.
- Drag and drop questions for prioritization and categorization.
- Select all that apply options to gauge comprehensive understanding.
Standardized Scoring
- Uses a statistical approach to determine pass/fail status.
- Incorporates psychometric principles for reliability and validity.
Content Areas Covered
- Safe and effective care environment.
- Health promotion and maintenance.
- Psychosocial integrity.
- Physiological integrity.
Preparation Strategies
- Familiarize yourself with various item types and scenarios.
- Practice scenario-based questions that require clinical reasoning.
- Ensure a solid understanding of nursing fundamentals and current practices.
- Utilize NGN-style practice questions to enhance exam readiness.
- Collaborate with peers to discuss concepts and share resources.
Implications for Future Nurses
- Aims to ensure that new nurses possess the competencies needed for safe practice.
- Aligns nursing education with evolving healthcare needs and standards.
NGN NCLEX Overview
- The Next Generation National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NGN NCLEX) assesses clinical judgment and the application of nursing knowledge.
- It aims to evaluate how nurses make decisions in real-world scenarios.
Key Components of NGN NCLEX
- Focuses on clinical judgment, emphasizing critical thinking and decision-making
- Includes multiple question types, such as multiple-choice and select-all-that-apply, and new case-based items.
- Uses real-world clinical scenarios to evaluate nursing competencies.
- Examines competency areas related to safety, effectiveness, and patient-centered care.
Bloom's Taxonomy Pyramid
- A framework classifying educational learning objectives into a hierarchy of thinking skills.
- The pyramid progresses from lower-order to higher-order thinking skills.
Levels of Bloom's Taxonomy
- Remembering: Recalling basic facts and concepts (e.g., recognizing or recalling).
- Understanding: Explaining ideas or concepts (e.g., summarizing, interpreting, classifying).
- Applying: Using information in new situations (e.g., executing, implementing).
- Analyzing: Breaking information into parts and understanding relationships (e.g., comparing, organizing, deconstructing).
- Evaluating: Justifying a stand or decision (e.g., checking, critiquing).
- Creating: Producing new or original work (e.g., designing, constructing, planning).
Integration of NGN NCLEX and Bloom's Taxonomy
- The NGN NCLEX uses Bloom's Taxonomy to assess nursing students at various cognitive levels.
- Questions encourage application, analysis, and evaluation, simulating real-life clinical judgment.
- This ensures a comprehensive evaluation of a candidate's readiness for nursing practice.
Importance in Nursing Education
- Guides curriculum development and teaching strategies.
- Helps create assessments that evaluate a range of cognitive abilities.
- Aligns nursing education with practical, real-world scenarios and competencies.
