Study Notes
Communication
- Nonverbal communication includes gestures, facial expressions, posture, body movement, voice tone, and volume, which are under less conscious control and provide a more accurate expression of one's inner thoughts and feelings.
- Verbal and nonverbal communication must be interpreted in a specific context to have meaning.
Factors Affecting Communication
- Internal factors: liking others, empathy, and ability to listen.
- External factors: physical setting, ensuring privacy, refusing interruptions, physical environment, dress, note-taking, tape and video recording, and intimate zone (0-1.5 feet).
Health Assessment
- Health teaching in a community focuses on few essential health patterns and is not comprehensive.
- It takes place after the initial assessment to evaluate any changes in the client's functional health.
- Time-lapsed reassessment is performed when substantial periods of time have elapsed between assessments.
Activities During Assessment
- Collecting data involves gathering information about the patient, considering physical, psychological, emotional, sociocultural, and spiritual factors that may affect their health status.
- Verifying data involves making sure the information is accurate and validating it.
Types of Data
- Subjective data comes from the client's point of view, including feelings, perceptions, and concerns, obtained through interviews.
- Objective data, also called signs, is observable and measurable data obtained through physical examination and laboratory and diagnostic testing.
Sources of Data
- Primary sources: the client, the client's family members, or health care providers.
- Secondary sources: medical records.
Evaluation
- Evaluation of the individual plan of care involves determining outcome achievement, identifying variables affecting outcome achievement, and deciding whether to continue, modify, or terminate the plan.
- Purpose: to appraise the extent to which goals and outcome criteria of nursing care have been achieved.
Methods of Data Collection
- Interview is a purposeful conversation between the nurse and the patient to gather subjective data, establish rapport, and teach the client about their health state.
