Study Notes

Practical Nursing and Origins of Nursing

  • Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
  • Illness is a diminished or impaired state of health due to disease, deterioration, or injury.
  • Holism is an approach to healthcare that considers the interactions between the body, mind, and spirit, addressing all needs of the patient.
  • Wellness is more than the absence of disease symptoms; it is a state of mental and physical balance and fitness.
  • LPNs are active participants in the healthcare team, providing physical and emotional care under the supervision of a RN, physician, or dentist.
  • The LPN's primary duty is to deliver direct nursing care to the patient.
  • LPNs also function as collaborators, delegators, educators, and advocates.
  • The healthcare team consists of various workers who provide medical and mental health services to patients in different settings.
  • LPNs are responsible for acquiring the knowledge and skills needed to meet patient needs and should seek further growth through continuing education.
  • Factors that influence health include economics, environmental factors, family dynamics, cultural background, religious beliefs, and psychosocial and biological factors.
  • Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs prioritizes patient needs, starting with basic physiological needs and progressing to higher level needs.
  • Patients have the right to high quality care without discrimination, to be treated with respect and dignity, to access information about their illness, to be involved in decision making, and to privacy and confidentiality.
