Study Notes
Levels of Disease Prevention
- Primary Prevention: Focuses on health promotion, preventing diseases before they occur through education, exercise, and nutrition.
- Secondary Prevention: Involves early diagnosis and treatment of diseases to halt progression.
- Tertiary Prevention: Entails rehabilitation, health restoration, and palliative care for those with established diseases.
Hygiene
- Essential to maintain health and satisfy physiological needs.
- Early Morning Care: Involves basic hygiene tasks like offering utensils and oral care.
- Morning Care: Comprehensive grooming including showering, massage, and nail care.
- PM Care: Similar to morning care, performed before sleep.
- PRN Care: Provided as needed for specific client conditions.
Functional Levels of Patient Dependency
- Level 0: Completely independent.
- Level +1: Uses equipment but is largely independent.
- Level +2: Semi-dependent, needs assistance from others for tasks.
- Level +3: Moderately dependent, requires more support from caregivers.
- Level +4: Totally dependent on caregivers.
Categories of Baths
- Complete Bath: Full cleansing for hygiene.
- Self-help Bed Bath: Assistance provided for immobile patients.
- Partial Bath: Focus on areas causing discomfort.
- Bag Bath: Uses pre-soaked wipes for cleaning without rinsing.
Types of Nursing Interventions
- Independent: Nurse performs interventions autonomously.
- Dependent: Nurses carry out tasks prescribed by physicians.
- Collaborative: Involves teamwork with other health professionals.
Nursing Problem Management
- Issues can be classified as actual nursing problems or risk nursing problems.
- Modify interventions when objectives are partially achieved.
Sleep and Rest
- Reticular Activating System: Regulates the sleep-wake cycle.
- Circadian Rhythm: Develops during early life and stabilizes in early months.
- Types of Sleep: Includes Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep.
Medication Administration Rights
- Must adhere to ten rights including medication, dose, time, route, and patient education.

- Types of transmission: direct, indirect, vector-borne, and airborne.
- Asepsis Techniques: Medical (clean) and surgical (sterile) techniques to minimize infection risk.
Infection Types
- Nosocomial Infections: Acquired within healthcare settings.
- Types of Microorganisms: Include bacteria, viruses, fungi.
