You are | | | | responsible and | | | | accountable to | | | | yourself, your | | | | patients, and your | | | | peers. Critical | | | | thinking and | | | | knowledge will help | | | | you to make a | | | | difference in | | | | improving patient | | | | care. Critical | | | | thinking is essential | | | | to deliver safe, | | | | high-quality patient | | | | care in a changing | | | | healthcare | | | | environment. Critical | | | | thinking and clinical | | | | judgment to integrate | | | | knowledge, | | | | experience, | | | | attitudes, and | | | | standards into the | | | | individualized care | | | | plan for each of your | | | | patients. Critical | | | | thinking in nursing | | | | involves assessing, | | | | diagnosing, planning, | | | | implementing, and | | | | evaluating patient | | | | care. | | | | | | | | (pg 8, 15, 47, | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Savanna | **Pain and pain | Pain is a distressing | | | relief management for | symptom that signals | | | a client - nursing | something is wrong, | | | actions** | commonly experienced | | | | by older adults as | | | | either acute or | | | | chronic. Persistent | | | | pain can lead to | | | | issues like | | | | depression, appetite | | | | loss, sleep problems, | | | | mobility changes, and | | | | reduced social | | | | interaction. Various | | | | factors affect pain | | | | management in this | | | | population, including | | | | cultural perceptions | | | | of pain, fears about | | | | analgesics, and | | | | challenges in | | | | assessing pain in | | | | cognitively impaired | | | | individuals. Nurses | | | | play a crucial role | | | | in advocating for | | | | effective pain | | | | management, aiming to | | | | enhance function and | | | | improve the quality | | | | of life for older | | | | adults. | | | | | | | | Pain relief | | | | management nursing | | | | actions: | | | | | | | | 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6 | | | |. 7. 8. | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Savanna | **Patients most at | Patients at risk for | | | risk for infection** | infection include | | | | those who are | | | | immunocompromised, | | | | such as individuals | | | | with HIV or cancer, | | | | as well as those with | | | | chronic illnesses | | | | like diabetes or lung | | | | disease. Surgical | | | | patients are also at | | | | risk due to potential | | | | wound infections, | | | | along with older | | | | adults whose immune | | | | responses may be | | | | weakened by age. | | | | Infants and young | | | | children are | | | | vulnerable as their | | | | immune systems are | | | | still developing. | | | | Additionally, | | | | patients with | | | | invasive devices, | | | | such as catheters or | | | | ventilators, and | | | | those on | | | | immunosuppressive | | | | therapies face a | | | | higher risk.

Private | | | | room or cohort. | | | | | | | | **Airborne | | | | Precautions:** | | | | Airborne Precautions | | | | require a specially | | | | equipped room with a | | | | negative airflow | | | | referred to as an | | | | airborne infection | | | | isolation room. Air | | | | is not returned to | | | | the inside | | | | ventilation system | | | | but is filtered | | | | through a | | | | high-efficiency | | | | particulate air | | | | (HEPA) filter and | | | | exhausted directly to | | | | the outside.
