Integrated Healthcare and Promotion

Health Promotion and Healthcare Levels

• Nurses providing anti-smoking education to adolescents are providing health promotion and disease/injury prevention.

Integrated Care

• Integrated care focuses on the underlying causes of illness and imbalances in the body, not just symptoms.
• It's not limited to physicians; it encompasses various healthcare professionals.

Integrated Healthcare Approach for Nurses

• Nurses providing integrated care must possess knowledge and skills for safe and ethical care.
• Nurses need to understand provincial/territorial legislation concerning complementary approaches.
• Nurses should be educated and certified by legitimate programs.
• Promoting a curative approach isn't the sole focus of integrated healthcare.

Pillars of Primary Health Care

• Healthy living, teams, information, and access are key pillars of Primary Health Care.

Canada Health Act Principles

• The Canada Health Act (1984) principle of portability enables access to health care in another province or territory.

Medical Clinic Types

• A clinic staffed by allopathic and complementary practitioners is an integrative health care clinic.

CAM's Impact on Nursing

• Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) approaches fall within the scope of holistic care.
• Nurses need to be aware of the potential risks of CAM, and to communicate with patients about any interaction with medications.

Federal Government Responsibilities

• The federal government is responsible for enforcing the Canada Health Act, transferring funds to provinces, and regulating health products.

Primary Care Focus

• Primary care centers around health education, personal health services, and maternal/child care.
• Primarily focused on overall health improvement, not only specific diseases or symptoms.

Effective Nurse Educator Roles

• To educate patients effectively, nurses need to analyze patient needs, and evaluate the impact of education on their outcomes.
• Patients must be ready to learn and need a suitable learning environment to foster motivation.

Learning Styles and Preferences

• Learning depends on the learning environment, style, preference, and motivation.

Teaching Sessions for Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

• Teaching sessions for UTIs should cater to the specific needs of the patient.
• Teaching should include problem-based methods, focusing on the patient's needs and experiences; not mutually exclusive strategies.

Information Provided to Patients

• Information for patients needs to be accurate, complete, and relevant to their needs (not all patients require the same level of detail or information).
• Information must be in the patient's chosen language.
• Avoid information that may influence their decisions (e.g., promoting one choice over another).

Learning Domains for Insulin Administration

• The psychomotor domain is necessary for patients to learn self-administered insulin.

Teaching Methods for Preschoolers

• For educating preschoolers on hygiene and other topics, engaging methods like role-playing, short stories, and pictures are beneficial.
• Nurses must consider encouraging questions and interactive explanations.

Behavioural and Lifestyle Modifications

• Learning about behavioural and lifestyle modifications centers around the cognitive domain.

Insulin Dosage Adjustment Learning

• Learning how to adjust insulin dosages based on blood sugar results involves the cognitive domain and not necessarily affective processes.

Teaching Process for Learning Objectives

• The outcomes of a teaching session about learning objectives should be determined through evaluation.

Intersectionality in Patient Care

• Interventions that take into account the broader social determinants of health are crucial for all patients.

Climate Change and Human Health

• Climate change impacts health and can affect vulnerable populations, like people with asthma living in polluted city centres or those experiencing heat stroke, mental health issues, or other illness-related conditions.

Types of Communicable Diseases

• Communicable diseases encompass conditions like Hepatitis A, Chicken Pox, and Malaria but also include broader issues like heart disease that may, in some cases, also be related to more significant communicable diseases.

Sustainable Nursing Practices

• Educating patients about sustainable consumption practices, recycling, and waste reduction can be included in direct nursing practices.

Cultural Competency

• Seeking cultural competency, and taking into account cultural beliefs and practices is a fundamental part of effective caregiving. Understanding, and respecting cultural differences within patients and groups.

Factors for Cultural Awareness

• Cultural awareness involves deeper reflection on personal biases and backgrounds, and engagement through cross-cultural interactions and factors.

Erikson's Theory and Middle Aged Adults

• Middle-aged adults have unique psychosocial development challenges, and not all face the same level or degree of stress or difficulty.

Health Risk Factors for Young Adults

• Factors like lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, and family history can contribute to chronic diseases later in life.

Child Development (Erikson's Stage Theory)

• Understanding child development helps nurses tailor their expectations and interactions with children. The stages provide a framework.

Moral Development Theories

• Moral development theories inform how people think, decide, and act in different moral circumstances.

Infant Developmental Milestones

• Specific milestones in infant development, such as smiling or playing peek-a-boo, indicate healthy development at various ages.

Psychosocial Development in Toddlers and School-Age Children

• Psychosocial development changes occur in toddlers and school age children, leading to changes in behaviour and thinking abilities.

Adolescent Psychosocial Changes

• Adolscents experience changes such as cliquish behaviours or an increased level of risk-taking, which are often related to physical and emotional changes.

Types of Abuse

• Child abuse can include financial, emotional, physical and verbal elements. A variety of approaches exist among families, communities and caregivers for tackling child abuse and abuse of adults.

Psychological Changes in Older Adults

• Changes like decreased saliva production, reduced skin elasticity, and visual impairment affect older adults.

Differentiating Dementia and Delirium

• Subtle differences exist between dementia and delirium, concerning onset, duration, and consciousness levels.
