    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    • MICHI/RA 10152: Primary intervention requiring mandatory immunizations for infants and children; repealed previous laws.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.
    • 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.
