Study Notes
-
Thorough patient history is essential for identifying cognitive impairments.
-
Mental Status Assessment using tools like the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) evaluates memory, speech and language, judgment, thought processes, calculation skills, and abstract reasoning.
-
Diagnostic tests like MRI and neuropsychological assessments help determine presence and extent of cognitive problems.
-
Health promotion strategies to maintain cognition and prevent inadequate cognition include avoiding substance use and practicing safe lifestyle behaviors.
-
Engaging in new learning activities can stimulate cognitive health in older adults.
-
Nursing interventions for cognitive impairments focus on safety and communication.
-
Delirium and early-stage dementia interventions include orientation assistance and medication use, such as cholinesterase inhibitors.
-
Collaborative efforts are necessary to identify underlying causes of delirium.
-
Psychoactive drugs may be prescribed for managing behaviors in specific cognitive disorders.
-
Comfort is a state of physical and emotional well-being, and decreased comfort can be caused by physical and emotional factors.
-
Acute discomfort is short-term, often associated with specific events, while chronic discomfort is long-term and ongoing.
-
Effective discomfort management is crucial in managing patients' outcomes and end-of-life experiences.
-
Health promotion strategies for managing discomfort include anticipating discomfort, pain management, and palliative care.
-
Interventions for decreased comfort include assessment and planning, collaborative care, and consulting mental health professionals and healthcare providers for pain management.

Assessment of Clotting: Signs of decreased or increased clotting, tests for monitoring clotting
-
Health Promotion Strategies for Clotting: Immediate reporting of unusual bleeding or bruising, hydration, body positioning, physical activity, smoking cessation, and symptom monitoring for those at risk for increased clotting.
