    Study Notes

    Holistic Health Model

    • Considers emotional, spiritual, social, and cultural aspects of physical wellness.
    • Emphasizes the importance of creativity in health.

    Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

    • Identifies levels of human needs, promoting personal development and confidence.

    Health Promotion

    • Aims to help individuals maintain or enhance their current health.
    • Key components include nutrition, immunizations, and exercise.

    Health Education

    • Develops understanding of health and management of health risks.
    • Empowers individuals to recognize and manage their health needs.

    Illness Prevention

    • Protects against actual or potential health threats.

    Levels of Prevention

    • Primary Prevention: True prevention aimed at reducing disease incidence; examples include vaccinations and education.
    • Secondary Prevention: Focuses on preventing disease spread after occurrence; includes screening.
    • Tertiary Prevention: Minimizing disease effects and disabilities through rehabilitation.

    Risk Factors

    • Define susceptibility to illness or accidents.
    • Nonmodifiable: Factors like age and genetics cannot be changed.
    • Modifiable: Lifestyle choices such as diet and smoking that can be changed.
    • Environmental: Conditions where individuals live or work, influencing health.

    Vital Signs

    • Essential measures to assess health status.
    • Adult normal ranges:
      • Temperature: 96.8°F to 100.4°F
      • Pulse: 60-100 beats/min
      • Respirations: 12-20 breaths/min
      • Blood Pressure: Systolic < 120 mmHg, Diastolic < 80 mmHg

    Factors Affecting Body Temperature

    • Increased by age, exercise, hormonal levels, circadian rhythms, stress, and environment.
    • Fever: Body temperature > 100.4°F as a defense mechanism.
    • Hyperthermia: Body cannot cool down; > 104°F may indicate heatstroke.
    • Hypothermia: Occurs from prolonged exposure to cold temperatures.

    Measurement of Temperature

    • Various methods include oral, rectal, tympanic, and temporal artery assessments.
    • Core body temperature reflects critical states, while peripheral measures can be influenced by circulation.

    Nursing Interventions for Febrile Patients

    • Goals: Reduce heat production, increase heat loss, prevent complications.
    • Actions include identifying infection sources, administering fluids and antipyretics, and controlling environmental temperature.

    Pulse Assessment

    • Indicates circulatory status; ranges from 60-100 bpm for adults.
    • Pulse sites include temporal, carotid, brachial, radial, and femoral.
    • Characteristics to assess: rate, rhythm, strength, and equality.

    Abnormal Pulse Conditions

    • Bradycardia: Heart rate < 60 bpm.
    • Tachycardia: Heart rate > 100 bpm.
    • Pulse deficit: Inefficient heart contractions not seen in peripheral pulse.

    Blood Pressure Basics

    • Measured as the force on artery walls from the heart’s pulsing blood.
    • Systolic pressure indicates contraction phase, while diastolic indicates relaxation.
    • Pulse pressure reflects the difference between systolic and diastolic readings.

    Factors Influencing Blood Pressure

    • Age, stress, ethnicity, and genetics are significant factors.
    • Daily variations may exist based on activity level.

    Hypertension and Hypotension

    • Hypertension: Often asymptomatic, significant risk factor for heart attacks and strokes.
    • Normal Blood Pressure: < 120/80 mmHg; Stage 1 HTN: 130-139/80-89 mmHg.
