Clinical Judgment Model Types of nursing assessments  EMERGENCY ASSESSMENT  ABCDE  You preform assessments and critical interventions simultaneously  COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT  A complete health history and physical assessment. All body systems in a head-to- toe format  FOCUSED ASSESSMENT  Occurs in all settings; Involves one or two body systems and is smaller in scope than the comprehensive assessment but is more in depth on the specific issue(s) SUBJECTIVE CUES-CLIENT EXPERIENCES AND PERCEPTIONS  The primary source for subjective data collection Gathering Data- is the patient Assessment  Client describes feelings, sensations, and expectations; "put in quotes"  Health history and interview process OBJECTIVE CUES- THE PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT  Observations and measurable data  Include the most important screening assessments for each system  Observe and documents client's general appearance, vital signs, auscultation of heart, lungs, and abdomen, assess peripheral circulation and skin.

The Communication Process 1)Write 2 yes/no questions and 2 open-ended questions 2)Be ready to share Therapeutic communication  Focuses on the patient and their concerns  Caring  Empathy  Nonverbal/verbal communication skills  Avoid nontherapeutic responses Culturally competent communication  Patients with limited English skills  Working with an interpreter  Gender bias Providing false Giving assurance Using unwanted or authority advice reassuran ce Using Engaging Using avoidance in profession Ten Traps of language distancing al jargon Interviewing *Discuss specific situations or Using circumstances where it would be easy to fall into leading or Talking Interrupti interviewing traps. biased too much ng *Be ready to share. questions Using Don't “why” ASSUME questions Copyright © 2020 by Elsevier Inc.

Which of the following actions should the nurse take to adhere to contact precautions? When should hand hygiene be implemented for maximum effectiveness? When should gloves be used? Give When should gloves be changed? Examples Where should we discard PPE? Inspection, Palpation, Percussion, Auscultation Inspection  The FIRST technique used  Gain an overall impression  Observe for cues  Expose body parts  Adequate lighting  Remove devices or clothing  Label and document findings  Do your findings match subjective report Palpation  Use of touch to assess:  Texture  Temperature  Moisture Ask for permission first  Size  Shape  Location  Position  Vibration  Crepitus  Pain  Edema Light Palpation- 1 cm Deep Palpation- 2 cm Percussion  Produce sound or elicit tenderness  Dense tissue- flat or quiet tones  Air- louder tones (tympany)  Direct percussion- directly on skin  Indirect percussion- use your hand as a barrier  Usually, an advanced practice but is being phased out due to imaging Auscultation  Listen with a stethoscope to transport normally unheard sounds  Diaphragm- larger side used for most sounds  Bell- smaller side used for murmurs, small clients  Use proper technique Purpose of a medical record LEGAL COMMUNICATION QUALITY FINANCIAL EDUCATION DOCUMENT AND CARE ASSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT PLANNING RESEARCH Principles governing documentation  Confidentiality  Accuracy and completeness  Organization  Timeliness  Conciseness Compare documentation formats Narrative SOAP(IE) PIE Charting DAR by exception Communicating with other health care professionals
