Human dignity is the basic concept in the provision of the support. Human dignity means that each person is respected as an individual. A person is respected and his/her human rights are protected even when he/she is in need of nursing care. 2) User-centric daily lifestyle Daily lifestyles differ from person to person, depending on their way of thinking and habits. Even if a person is in need of nursing care, it is the user himself/herself who takes the lead in daily living. Considering how the user wants to live, respecting his/her way of living and thinking, and providing support to help him/her live his/her usual life are the basics of nursing care. in e e nu 10 G Various lifestyles 1 PART Basics of Nursing Care CHAPTER 1 Human dignity and independence in nursing care 3) QOL (Quality of life) The QOL refers to the quality of a person’s daily living and that of his/her life.

It also refers to their continuing a normal lifestyle, maintaining their usual way without patience in the local society/community. 2 Self-independence support 1) Providing support to promote self-independence Self-independence support refers to the provision of support to a user to enable him/ her to live his/her usual life after selecting and deciding on the life he/she wants to live. Not only support related to moving, dressing, and other physical movements, but also support appropriate to his/her capabilities are provided. Respecting the user’s concept of values and what he/she is particular about, support is provided to increase the number of things he/she can do at his/her own will and with his/ her own ability to give him/her a sense of accomplishment. in e e nu 12 G 2) Self-choice and self-determination PART It is the user himself/herself who takes the lead in daily living. He/She will decide how 1 he/she wants to do something according to his/her values and the way he/she has lived so far. Basics of Nursing Care There are two kinds of independence: physical and mental. Even when he/she is in need of nursing care, he/she will independently choose and decide the style and method of daily living so that he/she can live his/her usual life. Which clothes do you want to wear today? CHAPTER 1 Human dignity and independence in nursing care I think I will wear that sweater. in e e nu G 13  3 Understanding of daily living 1) What are the activities of daily living? Activities of daily living differ depending on countries, cultures, and customs. There is a variety of lifestyles, depending on the will and values of people and what they are particular about. People wake up in the morning, change clothes, wash their face, have meals, go to the bathroom, take a bath, engage in recreational activities, and go to bed in the rhythm of life. Mealtime Teatime Taking a walk Taking a bath Changing clothes Sleeping Waking up Morning Night The person’s state of health, house, ability to do housework, family, community, and society are all related to his/her life. 2) Everyday life support provided by care workers in e With the full understanding of the user’s way of living, a care worker supports the user in living his/her usual life. nu A person tends to become passive in the way he/she thinks and acts when he/she is in need of nursing care.

It is important for a care worker to give consideration for the privacy of the user so that he/she will not feel embarrassed. 2) Maintaining of confidentiality It is necessary for a care worker to obtain information on the user in order to provide appropriate care. He/She must not, however, disclose the personal information (age, address, clinical history, etc.) of the user to any third party without the user’s permission. A care worker must not spread the information on the user on the Internet, SNS, etc. without his/her consent. in e e nu 16 G 3) Prohibition of physical restraint PART Physical restraint means the restriction of a user’s physical movement. 1 Adverse effects of physical restraint Basics of Nursing Care Physical restraint has adverse effects such as the reduction of physical abilities and worsening of dementia symptoms of the user.

Body mechanics refers to the way our body moves based on the relationship between bones and muscles. With the use of the principles of body mechanics, you can provide nursing care safely with a small amount of force. (1) Maintain a wide base of support and lower the center of gravity. Use of a cane can widen the base of support and increase stability. e Explanation of terminology in Base of support u Base of support refers to the area created by connecting every point of contact n of a person with the floor surface for the purpose of supporting his/her body.

Basics of Nursing Care Users have low resistance to disease. Moreover, when people are living in a group, they have a higher chance of getting infected. Therefore, it is necessary for each care worker to have knowledge of infectious diseases. A person with low resistance to disease is more vulnerable to CHAPTER infectious diseases. 3 Ensuring safety and risk management in nursing care A healthy person is less vulnerable to infectious diseases. Kinds of pathogens Pathogens include viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and others. Perspective of observation It is important to observe users as a control measure for infectious diseases. As per in the perspective of observation, if you find symptoms such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, e u stomachache, rash, or pale complexion, it is important to report it to medical staff. e n G 31  Three factors of infectious diseases/principle of control measures The three factors of infectious diseases are the source of infection, route of infection, and host. An infectious disease spreads when the three factors are connected. The principle of infection control is to cut the chain off. The chain can be cut off by: (1) Removing the source of infection; (2) Blocking the route of infection; and (3) Improving the host’s (person’s) resistance to disease. Three factors of infectious diseases/principles for cutting them off Host People, Cutting it off. animals, etc. Cutting it off. Source of Route of infection infection Pathogenic Hands, microorganisms, vomitus, urine, feces, supplies, foods etc. Cutting it off. There are three basic rules for controlling infection.

The feelings, ideas, and methods of expression differ from person to person. The difference is related to the character of the person, the life he/she has lived, and the education he/she has received. The feelings and ideas change due to aging and are expressed as emotions and will. It is necessary for a care worker to understand the feelings of others. Emotions Being sorry e Being happy Being mad Having fun Changes in the state of mind are visible in facial expressions and attitudes. nu in 42 G e (Will) Will refers to a state of mind to positively do something.

A. H. Maslow, a psychologist, advocated a five-level hierarchy of human needs (Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs). 2 PART Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Mechanism of Mind and Body 5 Self-actualization needs Needs for maximizing one’s potential Social needs 4 Esteem needs Needs to be recognized by others 3 Love/belonging needs Needs to be involved with others CHAPTER 2 Safety needs 1 Understanding of the mechanism of mind and body Basic needs Needs to protect oneself 1 Physiological needs Needs to sustain life in e e nu G 45  2 Understanding of the mechanism of body 1)  Mechanism of sustaining life/homeostasis (body temperature, breathing, pulse, blood pressure, etc.) Homeostasis Homeostasis is a biological system in the body that tries to maintain a constant state even if there is a change in the environment. One example is the function that works to bring the body temperature back to normal by sweating to release body heat, when it rises because of the hot air temperature. Functions of homeostasis We sweat when it is hot. (Vital signs) Vital signs refer to the body temperature, breathing, pulse, blood pressure, etc. that indicate the symptoms of being alive. They are the indices that reflect the status of health and any unusual change. (1) Body temperature e Body temperature has a daily rhythm. It is higher during daytime hours and lower during in the night when you are asleep. u As there is a big difference among individuals, normal temperature differs from person n to person. 46 G e Parts of the body from which to measure body temperature and points to remember Armpit If a person suffers from paralysis, take the body PART temperature of the 2 unparalyzed side.

Others CHAPTER 1 Understanding of the mechanism of mind and body There are thermometers to measure the body temperature at the forehead or in the ear. in e e nu G 47  (2) Breathing Breathing is to take oxygen into the body and get rid of carbon dioxide. Breathing is done regularly and unconsciously. Respiratory rate changes due to various factors such as the age, activity status, mental status, physical condition, and whether the person has a disease or not. Check whether the person is having difficulty breathing and/or having phlegm and if he/ she is hearing odd sounds or not. If a person has extreme difficulty breathing, his/her lips and nails turn to bluish purple. This state is called cyanosis. Respiration rhythm waveform Normal Adult 12-18 times per minute The person is inhaling and exhaling regularly. in e e nu 48 G (3) Pulse Pulse is the movement of blood through arteries caused by heartbeats. Generally, the lower the age is, the higher the pulse rate is. Pulse rate goes down when you get older. Pulse rate changes due to various factors such as the age, activity status, mental status, PART physical condition, and whether the person has a disease or not. 2 Observe the number and rhythm of pulse and whether it is strong or weak. Mechanism of Mind and Body Places to measure pulse rate Temporal artery Brachial artery Locate the pulse on the wrist. Carotid artery Radial artery CHAPTER 1 Understanding of the mechanism of mind and body You can locate the pulse not only on the temporal region, neck, and elbow but also on the inside of the wrist, groin area, and instep. in e e nu G 49  (4) Blood pressure Blood pressure is the force of the blood sent from the heart pushing against the walls of blood vessels (arteries). Blood pressure changes throughout the day. Blood pressure changes due to various factors such as posture, activity status, mental status, and whether the person has a disease or not. Continuous hypertension increases the possibility of developing into a cerebrovascular disease and/or a heart disease.

Head Chest Cervix (neck) Abdomen Upper limb Trunk (torso) Lower limb Palm Sole in e e nu 52 G  [Nervous system] The nervous system can be largely divided into the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Central nerves (brain/spinal cord) PART The brain gathers information from the rest of the body, analyzes and makes judgments, 2 and gives orders to the rest of the body. The spinal cord is connected to the brain and makes its own judgment on the information Mechanism of Mind and Body and gives orders based on the function of relaying information from the brain to the rest of the body and vice versa. Peripheral nerves (cerebral nerves/spinal nerves) Peripheral nerves relay information between the central nervous system and the organs of the body.

They consist of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. The sympathetic nerves act when the person is tense such as when the person is active or feeling anxiety, anger, stress, etc. PART The parasympathetic nerves act when the person is relaxing such as while sleeping and 2 resting.

(4) Auditory nerves The auditory nerves carry the signals to the auditory cortex of the cerebrum. (3) Cochlea The cochlea changes the vibrations into signals. in e e nu 58 G  [Respiratory system] The inhaled air passes through the respiratory tract. The oxygen is received in the lungs, and the carbon dioxide is discharged through the tract. The respiratory tract is the path the air takes from the nose to the lungs. PART Respiratory organs 2 Nasal cavity Mechanism of Mind and Body Pharynx Larynx Trachea Lung Bronchi CHAPTER 1 Understanding of the mechanism of mind and body in e e nu G 59  Coughs and phlegm When bacteria, house dust, and other foreign matters enter the respiratory tract, the human body tries to get rid of them through coughs and phlegm. Prolonged coughing and change in the color of the phlegm are signs of a problem. [Cardiovascular system] The cardiovascular system carries oxygen, nutrients, waste products, etc., which is circulated throughout the body through blood and lymph vessels. Heart The human heart is divided into four chambers. It keeps contracting and relaxing and pushes the blood continuously like a pump. Blood vessels and blood The arteries are blood vessels that carry blood that contains a lot of oxygen from the heart to the rest of the body. The veins collect blood that contains a lot of carbon dioxide and waste products from all corners of the body and carry it back to the heart and lungs. Capillaries are the branches of blood vessel between arteries and veins. in e e nu 60 G Pulmonary circulation and systemic circulation Systemic circulation Upper body Lungs PART Superior vena cava 2 Pulmonary vein Pulmonary circulation Mechanism of Mind and Body Pulmonary artery Aorta and its branches Left atrium Right atrium Left ventricle Right ventricle Inferior vena cava Systemic circulation CHAPTER Lower body 1 Understanding of the mechanism of mind and body In the pulmonary circulation system, deoxygenated blood changes to oxygenated blood. Systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation Arterial blood flows in the arteries and venous blood flows in the veins and circulate through the body, which is called systemic circulation. The circulation of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart is called pulmonary circulation. Venous blood from the right ventricle of the heart flows through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs during the gas exchange, when it becomes arterial blood e and returns to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins. nu in G e 61  [Digestive system] The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract from the oral cavity to the anus (esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine) and the organs that secrete digestive enzymes. The system digests and absorbs food, takes in necessary nutrients, and excretes the waste products of digestion as feces. Flow of food and functions of organs (2) Stomach Peristalsis begins when the food is sent to the stomach. The food is digested by the stomach fluid. (1) Esophagus The chewed (3) Small intestine and swallowed Food nutrients are absorbed. food passes through the esophagus into (4) Large intestine the stomach. Nutrients and liquid are further absorbed and feces are formed. (5) Rectum The accumulated feces stimulate the rectal walls and the urge to defecate occurs. (6) Anus The anal sphincter loosens in e u and the feces are excreted. e n 62 G  [Urinary system] The urinary system is responsible for removing waste from the body. Urine is formed in the kidneys and carried to the bladder through the ureters. It is temporarily stored in the bladder and then excreted out of the body through the urethra. 2 PART Mechanism of Mind and Body Kidney Renal pelvis Ureter Bladder Urethra CHAPTER [Endocrine system] 1 Understanding of the mechanism of mind and body The endocrine system is a system of glands that secrete hormones that regulate various functions of the body.

Lifestyle and state of mind will either enhance or lower immunity. Lifestyle and state of mind to enhance immunity Activities that enhance Factors that lower immunity: immunity: Moderate exercise Aging Immunity Laughing a lot Shortage of sleep Keeping the body warm Fatigue Well-balanced diet Strenuous exercise Psychological stress in e e nu 64 G 3) Mechanism of the human body related to rest and sleep 1. Need for rest and sleep To rest means to stop being active and to relax mind and body. Taking appropriate rest will help you recover from fatigue and serve as a source of a happy life. PART Sleep lets the brain take a break regularly. It is essential for the health of your mind and 2 body. Mechanism of Mind and Body Positive effects of good quality sleep Consolidation of Removal of fatigue from memories mind and body Increased immunity Relief of stress CHAPTER 1 Understanding of the mechanism of mind and body 2. Mechanism of sleep Everybody has an internal body clock that operates on a cycle of 24 hours, keeping a rhythm. The internal body clock is reset by the morning’s sunlight and starts keeping a regular rhythm. in e e nu G 65  3. Cycle of sleep A night’s sleep consists of the repetition of non-REM sleep (deep sleep) and REM sleep (shallow). During non-REM sleep, the brain is in a state of resting. During REM sleep, the brain is close to the state of being awake. It is said that you have dreams during REM sleep. Non-REM sleep REM sleep The brain is sleeping. The brain is not sleeping. You do not have dreams. You have dreams. 4. Characteristics of sleep in elderly people Sleeping hours become shorter. The length of non-REM sleep (deep sleep) becomes shorter, which makes them wake up frequently due to the urge to urinate, small noises, etc. in e e nu 66 G  e PART 2 Mechanism of Mind and Body CHAPTER 1 Understanding of the mechanism of mind and body in 67 e nu
