    Study Notes

    Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

    • Physiologic needs are the most basic according to Maslow's hierarchy.
    • A fundamental tenant of the hierarchy is that certain needs must be met before others can be prioritized.
    • Self-actualization represents achieving one's potential and should be seen as the highest need.
    • Assessment and meeting basic physiological needs are critical in nursing practice.

    Nursing Interventions and Prioritization

    • Priority nursing interventions should focus on immediate physiological needs, such as assessing respirations and administering oxygen in emergencies.
    • Home assessments by nurses address safety concerns for patients returning to living environments post-injury.
    • Nurses can support self-esteem by respecting patients' values and beliefs rather than negating their feelings.

    Family Structures and Functions

    • Blended families include individuals who have been previously married and are in new relationships with children from earlier unions.
    • Families play crucial roles in socialization and emotional support, particularly in teaching values and coping strategies.
    • Illness of one family member can significantly impact the entire family unit, emphasizing the need for family-centered care.

    Health Promotion in Families and Communities

    • Health promotion initiatives by nurses target the entire family to effectively address health and wellness.
    • Affective and coping functions help families provide emotional support and identity to members.
    • Community health depends on various factors, including geography, air and water quality, and the educational background of residents.

    Barriers to Healthcare

    • Geographic distance poses a significant barrier to accessing healthcare services, especially in rural settings.
    • Community-based nursing emphasizes population health within communities and addresses individual and family needs.
    • Nurses serve as health role models by demonstrating healthy lifestyles, reinforcing the importance of personal health practices.

    Caregiver Challenges

    • Caregivers, such as spouses of patients with chronic conditions, may experience significant stress and caregiver burden, necessitating appropriate nursing diagnoses and interventions.
