Study Notes
Erikson's Developmental Theory
- Individuals pass through eight stages of psychosocial development, each characterized by a unique conflict or crisis that must be successfully resolved for healthy development to occur.
Infant (0-1 year)
- Primary task is to develop a sense of trust in caregivers and the world around them.
- Relies on consistent caregiving to feel safe and secure, thus developing trust.
- Failure to establish trust may result in feelings of insecurity and mistrust in relationships later in life.
Toddler (1-3 years)
- Develops a sense of independence versus feelings of shame and doubt.
- Overly restrictive or critical parenting may lead to feelings of shame and doubt about one's abilities.
- Characteristics of this stage include negativism (persistent "no" for an answer), temper tantrums, and ritualism (bedtime rituals).
Preschool (3-6 years) and School Age (6-12 years)
- Pre-school: Initiative - learning how to do things.
- School Age: Industry - learning how to do things well (mastery or perfection).
- Children ask around 300 questions a day.
Adolescent (12-18 years)
- Develops a coherent sense of self and identity versus confusion about one's role in life.
- Achievement: Forming a clear and stable sense of identity, including personal values and life goals.
- Fear of rejection or inability to form close relationships may result in feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Health Care Delivery System
Levels of Care
- Five levels of care for which health care providers offer services: disease prevention; health promotion; and primary, secondary, and tertiary health care.
Primary Prevention
- Focuses on promoting health and preventing illness before it occurs.
- Encourages individuals to adopt healthy behaviors and lifestyles to maintain optimal wellness.
- Examples: smoking cessation campaigns, immunizations, healthy lifestyle education, regular physical activity programs.
Secondary Prevention
- Involves early detection and intervention to manage or control diseases at their early stages.
- Emphasizes screening and diagnosing conditions to provide timely treatment and prevent complications.
- Examples: cancer screenings, cholesterol level testing, diabetes screenings, vision and hearing tests, screenings for STIs, skin cancer screenings, mental health screenings.
Tertiary Prevention
- Aims to help individuals regain their previous level of health or achieve the highest level of function possible given their current health status.
Communication and Body Mechanics
Zones of Personal Space
- Intimate (0-8 inches): performing physical assessment.
- Personal (18in-4ft): taking a patient's history.
- Socio-Consultative (9-12ft): giving directions to a stranger.
- Public (12ft and more): speaking at forums; lecturing.
Zones of Touch
- Social Zone (permission not needed): hands, arm, back, shoulder.
- Consent Zone: mouth, wrist, feet.
- Vulnerable Zone: face, neck, front of body.
- Intimate Zone: genitalia, rectum.
Nurse-Patient Caring Relationship Phases
- Pre-interaction Phase: before meeting a patient.
- Orientation Phase: when the nurse and patient meet and get to know one another.
- Working Phase: when the nurse and patient work together to solve problems and accomplish goals.
- Termination Phase: reminding the patient that termination is near and evaluating goal achievement with the patient.
Body Mechanics
- Involves the proper use of posture and movement techniques to prevent injury and promote efficient physical activity.
- Correct body mechanics reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, such as strains and sprains.
- Nurses use body mechanics to safely lift, transfer, and position patients, reducing the risk of caregiver injuries.
