Study Notes
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Prioritizing nursing care utilizes Maslow's hierarchy to establish care priorities effectively.
- Physiologic needs include oxygen, water, food, elimination, temperature, and safety.
- Important nursing interventions for physiologic needs: changing oxygen tanks and assisting with meals.
Safety and Security
- Hand hygiene and sterile techniques meet the safety and security needs by preventing infections.
- Physiologic needs relate to basic life-sustaining actions, while self-esteem and love/belonging needs connect to social interactions.
Self-Actualization
- Self-actualization is the highest level of Maslow's hierarchy, representing the achievement of one's potential.
- This process is continuous throughout life and involves focusing on external problems and creative problem-solving.
- Loneliness and isolation are not always tied to unmet self-actualization needs.
Definition of Family
- A family is best defined as a group of individuals living together and relying on one another for support—spanning beyond biological ties.
- Variations can include traditional structures, extended family units, and chosen family dynamics.
Affective and Coping Family Function
- Key aspects of assessing family function include emotional support systems and coping strategies during stress.
- Questions such as who provides emotional support and who holds the family together highlight affective and coping functions.
- Economic and reproductive functions focus on financial roles and family planning, while traditions relate to socialization.
