Study Notes
Levels of Prevention
- Primary Prevention: Designed for healthy individuals to promote health and prevent disease.
- Secondary Prevention: Focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of illnesses, involves diagnostic tests.
- Tertiary Prevention: Aims at rehabilitation and preserving functions after chronic illnesses; includes palliative care for managing complications.
Medical Interventions
- IMCI (Integrated Management of Childhood Illness): Secondary prevention targeting immediate treatment of childhood illnesses.
- Debulking: Tertiary intervention that involves surgical reduction of tumor size, alleviating pain and discomfort.
- CSS (Cincinnati Stroke Scale): Secondary assessment tool used for identifying stroke symptoms (BEFAST: Balance, Eyes, Face, Arms, Speech, Time).
- MICHI/RA 10152: Primary intervention requiring mandatory immunizations for infants and children; repealed previous laws.
- MERCI: Secondary procedure for removing blood clots in ischemic stroke to restore blood flow.
- Smoking Cessation: Primary prevention measure to reduce the risk of several diseases, including hypertension-related conditions.
- FTC + Tnf PEP: Primary medical regimen combining Emtricitabine and Tenofovir, used as Post-exposure Prophylaxis against HIV after possible exposure.
TB DOTS and Related Laws
- RA 10767: Mandates TB management protocols in all health facilities while requiring notifications of TB cases to the Department of Health (DOH).
- RA 3573: An older law for reporting communicable diseases.
- RA 11332: Revised mandatory reporting laws to improve disease surveillance and protect public health against threats.
Transfusion Reactions
- Awareness and monitoring of potential allergic or adverse reactions during blood transfusion procedures are crucial for patient safety.
Key Definitions and Measurements
- Emergency Medical Service (EMS): Critical for stroke cases; timely intervention can prevent permanent brain damage.
- Post-exposure Prophylaxis (PEP): Effective for preventing HIV infection if started within 72 hours of exposure.
- Stroke Types: Ischemic stroke caused by blocked blood flow, and hemorrhagic stroke due to bleeding in the brain.
Important Statistics
- Vaginal HIV transmission risk: 0.004%, Anus: 5%; emphasizes the need for awareness in sexual health practices.
These notes highlight the fundamental concepts and critical interventions in nursing practice related to prevention and treatment strategies.
