Study Notes
Levels of Disease Prevention
- Primary Prevention: Focuses on maintaining health and preventing disease; includes health education, exercise, and balanced diet.
- Secondary Prevention: Involves early diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
- Tertiary Prevention: Aims for rehabilitation and health restoration; includes palliative care.
Hygiene
- Hygiene is critical for health maintenance and physiological needs.
- Early Morning Care: Includes offering urinal/bedpan and performing oral care.
- Morning Care: Involves showering, back massage, and nail/oral care before or after breakfast.
- PM Care: Similar to morning care, conducted before sleeping.
- As Needed Care (PRN): Specifically for clients experiencing excessive sweating (diaphoresis).
Functional Levels of Patients
- Level 0: Completely independent.
- Level +1: Requires equipment for assistance.
- Level +2: Semi-dependent; patient needs help from a person but can perform tasks.
- Level +3: Moderately dependent; requires both help and equipment.
- Level +4: Totally dependent; does not participate in care.
Categories of Bathing
- Cleaning Baths: Essential for hygienic purposes.
- Complete bath, self-help bed bath, partial bath, bag bath, and tub bath.
- Shower: utilizes warm water for cleaning.
Types of Data in Nursing
- Therapeutic Bath: Aimed to soothe skin; usually involves medication.
- Subjective Data: Includes symptoms and subjective experiences from the patient.
- Objective Data: Includes overt signs observable through senses.
Sources of Data
- Primary Source: Information directly from the patient.
- Secondary Source: Data from healthcare professionals or family members.
Diagnostic Statements
- Basic Two-Part Diagnostic Statement: Connects problem to its etiology; e.g., "Constipation related to prolonged laxative use."
- Basic Three-Part Diagnostic Statement: Adds signs and symptoms; e.g., "Constipation related to prolonged laxative use as evidenced by abdominal discomfort."
Sleep Phases
- Stage 3 and 4: Associated with deep sleep; difficult to arouse.
- Rapid Eye Movement (REM): Lasts 5-30 minutes; dreams occur during this phase.
Medication Administration
- Crushing Tablets: Use caution with specific medications; never crush time-release or enteric-coated tablets.
- Liquid Medications: Check dosage levels carefully using the meniscus.
Infection Control Measures
- Asepsis: Refers to practices aiming to eliminate microorganisms; includes medical (clean technique) and surgical (sterile technique).
- Breaking the Chain of Infection: Focus on eliminating reservoirs, portals of entry, and modes of transmission.
Infection Types
- Nosocomial Infections: Acquired in healthcare settings.
- Non-Nosocomial Infections: Acquired outside healthcare facilities.
Microorganisms
- Types: Include bacteria and viruses among others; contribute to infection.
Infection Prevention Techniques
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Essential to prevent transmission; includes gloves, gowns, masks, and eyewear.
