Study Notes
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
- Consists of five levels representing human motivation ranging from basic needs to self-actualization.
Health Promotion vs. Disease Prevention
- Health promotion: Behavior aimed at enhancing well-being.
- Disease prevention: Behavior focused on avoiding illnesses.
Levels of Disease Prevention
- Primary Prevention: Focus on health promotion and decreasing disease exposure (e.g., immunization, risk assessment).
- Secondary Prevention: Early identification and prompt intervention to alleviate health issues (e.g., screening for hypertension).
- Tertiary Prevention: Aims at restoration and rehabilitation to help individuals achieve optimal functioning (e.g., referring spinal cord injury patients to rehab).
Telemedicine/Telenursing
-
Advantages:
- Reduces wait times and healthcare costs.
- Minimizes unnecessary hospital visits.
- Enhances continuity of care and patient compliance.
-
Disadvantages:
- Limits face-to-face interactions posing a risk to patient relationships.
- Raises security and confidentiality concerns.
- Potential quality of care reduction.
Sources of Data in Assessment
- Primary Source: Direct information from the patient.
- Secondary Source: Information from all other sources, including healthcare members, family, medical records, and lab tests.
OLDCART Mnemonic for Pain Assessment
- O: Onset of pain – when did it start?
- L: Location – where is the problem?
- D: Duration – how long does it last?
- C: Characteristics – describe the symptoms.
- A: Aggravating factors – are there additional symptoms?
- R: Relieving factors – what eases or worsens the pain?
- T: Treatment – have alternative treatments been tried?
Assessing Data
- Organizing Data: Use structured models for assessment.
- Validating Data: Confirm facts for accuracy and gather supplementary information when needed.
- Documenting Data: Maintain comprehensive records like intake/output charts and admission forms.
Phases of Nursing Interviews
- Orientation: Establish the purpose and rapport.
- Working: Engage actively in data collection.
- Termination: Conclude the interview and summarize key points.
Silent Patient Considerations
- Short silences may be natural; allow time for the patient to articulate thoughts, providing reassurance and encouragement.
