🗑
A collaborative problem is   an actual or potential physiological complication that nurses monitor to detect the onset of changes in a client's status – ie hemorrhage, infection, and cardiac arrhythmia.  
🗑

🗑
Defining characteristics   the clinical criteria or assessment findings that support an actual nursing diagnosis.  
🗑
Clinical criteria   objective or subjective signs and symptoms, clusters of signs and symptoms, or risk factors that lead to a diagnostic conclusion.

🗑
Related factor   a condition or etiology id from the pt assessment data - associated w/pt actual or potential response to health problem - can change by using nursing interventions.  
🗑
Related factors for NANDA-I diagnoses include four categories   pathophysiological (biological or psychological), treatment-related, situational (environmental or personal), and maturational

🗑
The advantage of a concept map is   its central focus on the pt rather than the disease or health alteration - encourages students to concentrate on pt specific health problems & nursing diagnoses.  
🗑
Nursing diagnostic errors occur by   errors in data collection, interpretation and analysis of data, clustering of data, or in the diagnostic statement.  
🗑
Goal is ALWAYS   a positive reflection of the problem or NANDA - State a realistic time frame to achieve goal  
🗑

🗑
Interventions are actions performed   to resolve problem/ achieve client outcomes - based on clinical knowledge & judgment, research based, Nurse prescribed, May be Collaborative: Physician Prescribed, implemented by nurse - E.g. Administer medications, oxygen, wound care  
🗑
Examples of highest priorities   risk for other-directed violence, impaired gas exchange, and decreased cardiac output are typically high-priority nursing diagnoses that drive the priorities of safety, adequate oxygenation, and adequate circulation.  
🗑
Nurses exercise “cognitive shifts”   shifts in attention from one pt to another during conduct of the nursing process - occurs in response to pt needs changing, new procedures being ordered, or environmental processes interacting.  
🗑
A goal is   a broad statement that describes the desired change in a client's condition or behavior.  
🗑
expected outcomes   measurable criteria to evaluate goal achievement  
🗑
Goals and expected outcomes serve two purposes   to provide clear direction for the selection and use of nursing interventions and to provide focus for evaluating the effectiveness of the interventions.  
🗑
Goals and outcomes need to meet   established intellectual standards by being relevant to client needs, specific, singular, observable, measurable, and time-limited.  
🗑
A client-centered goal is   a specific and measurable behavior or response that reflects a client's highest possible level of wellness and independence in function. Ex “Client will perform self-care hygiene independently” and “Client will remain free of infection.”  
🗑
A goal contains only one   behavior or response. The example of “Pt will administer a self-injection & demonstrate infection control measures” is incorrect because the statement includes two different behaviors, administer and demonstrate.  
🗑
Always write expected outcomes   sequentially, with time frames  
🗑
nursing-sensitive client outcome   an individual, family, or community state, behavior, or perception that is measurable along a continuum in response to a nursing intervention.  
🗑

🗑
There are three categories of nursing interventions   nurse-initiated, physician-initiated, and collaborative interventions.  
🗑

🗑
Dependent nursing interventions require?   a physician’s order – administering meds, invasive procedure, changing dressing, etc.  
🗑
NIC model   nursing interventions classifications  
🗑
The NIC model includes three levels   domains, classes, and interventions for ease of use.  
🗑
Domains   the highest level (Level 1) of the model, using broad terms (e.g., safety and basic physiological) to organize the more specific classes and interventions.  
🗑
The second level of NIC model includes   30 classes, which offer useful clinical categories to refer to when selecting interventions.  
🗑
The third level of NIC model includes   542 interventions, defined as any treatment based upon clinical judgment and knowledge that a nurse performs to enhance patient/client outcomes  
🗑
Critical pathways   multidisciplinary treatment plans that outline the treatments or interventions clients need to have while they are in a health care setting for a specific disease or condition.  
🗑
Most critical pathways are based on   medical diagnoses and not nursing, but the related nursing diagnoses common to a medical problem and the associated nursing interventions are incorporated.

🗑
During planning   determine client goals, set priorities, develop expected outcomes of nursing care, and develop a nursing care plan.  
🗑
Interventions are for   ONE PROBLEM ONLY! Must relate back to NANDA & Goal  
🗑
Nursing Interventions   Assessment, therapeutic nursing, educational, referral  
🗑

🗑
Indirect care interventions   treatments performed away from the client but on behalf of the client or group of clients  
🗑
Clinical guideline or protocol   document that guides decisions & interventions for specific health care problems - developed on the basis of an authoritative examination of current scientific evidence and assists nurses, physicians, and other health care providers in making decisions ab  
🗑
Standing order   preprinted document containing orders for the conduct of routine therapies, monitoring guidelines, and/or diagnostic procedures for specific pt w/identified clinical problems.  
🗑
Five preparatory activities include   reassessing the client, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.  
🗑
A primary nurse is accountable for   the nursing care a client receives during his or her length of stay.  
🗑
A team nurse is accountable for   the care a client receives for a specific shift in which the nurse works.  
🗑
Psychomotor skills require   the integration of cognitive and motor activities – ex giving an injection -need to understand anatomy & pharmacology (cognitive) and use good coordination and precision to administer the injection correctly (motor).  
🗑
Lifesaving measures   include administering emergency medications, instituting cardiopulmonary resuscitation, intervening to protect a confused or violent client, and obtaining immediate counseling from a crisis center for a severely anxious client.  
🗑
You conduct evaluative measures to determine   if you met expected outcomes, not if nursing interventions were completed.  
🗑
Examples of nursing-sensitive outcomes include   reduction in pain severity, incidence of pressure ulcers, and incidence of falls.  
🗑
When you achieve outcomes   the related factors for a nursing diagnosis usually no longer exist.  
🗑
The purposes of NOC (nursing outcome criteria) are   (1) to identify, label, validate, and classify nursing-sensitive pt outcomes; (2) to field test and validate the classification; and (3) to define and test measurement procedures for the outcomes and indicators using clinical data.
