Question | Answer |
---|---|
the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems. | Nurse |
a state of physical, mental, social well-being. Not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. | Health |
the subjective experience of health versus health as the objective experience. | wellness |
an objective state of ill health | disease |
integration of biological, psychological and social elements. | bio psychosocial |
state which the person constantly adapts to changes in the internal and external environments | homeostasis |
activities such as routine exercise and good nutrition help clients maintain or enhance their present levels of health | health promotion |
Activities that motivate people to avoid decline in health or functional levels | disease prevention |
is true prevention, precedes disease ie. immunization | primary prevention |
promotes early detection of disease ie. Screening | secondary prevention |
minimizing effects of illness or disability ie. Rehabilitation | tertiary prevention |

Self Actualization- morality, creativity, spontaneity, lack of prejudice | Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs - 5 |
Individual strive for independence and are complex whole made of fundamental needs. Inability to meet needs as a result of : lack of strength, will or knowledge. 14 fundamental needs. 1st lady of nursing. | Virginia Henderson |
1. Person- recipients of nursing care 2. Environment- factors that affect individuals internally and externally 3. Health- State of well being 4. Nursing- what nursing is, what nurses do and how nurses interact with clients | Metaparadigm |
First nursing theorist, inspired by nursing practice. Clean patient areas: fresh air and light were important factors to promote health and healing. | Florence Nightingale |

premise obtainer primarily from knowledge and experience | deductive reasonin |
North American Nursing Diagnosis Association Developed a list of common client problems addressed by practicing nurses | NANDA |
identify, diagnose and treat human responses to health & illnesses. Assessment, Diagnose, Plan, Intervention, Evaluate | Nursing Process |
collecting, verifying and analyzing client data -Data Collection -Data Validation -Data Clustering -Interpretation of Data | Assessment |
Orientation phase- introduce yourself, describe position and explain purpose of interview Working phase- gather info about clients health status Termination phase- give client a cue that interview coming to an end, summarize points and ask client if sum | Phases of an interview |
S- Specific M-Measurable A-Attain R-Relevant T-Time Bound | SMART |
measurements of a clients health status observed or measured | Objective Data |
verbal description from client | Subjective Data |
Identification of a disease or condition on the basis of specific evaluation of physical signs, symptoms, medical history ad results of diagnostic tests | Medical Diagnosis |
describes level or wellness in an individual, family or community that can be enhanced | Nurse Diagnosis |
1. Diagnostic Label (NANDA) 2. Statement of a related factor 3. Secondary to 4. As evidenced by/manifested by (signs and symptoms) | Nursing Diagnosis |
1.Diagnostic label NANDA followed by 2.Statement of a related factor (NO evidenced by or as manifested,identifying a basic self-care tasks) Could have a secondary. | Risk diagnosis |
react to new situations by using learning mechanism we already possess | assimilation |
thinking process matures to allow us to solve problems (new knowledge | accomodation |
coping ability (handle demands from the world around us) | adaptation |
development presents a progression of mental abilities which people learn to think, reason and use language, Development includes 3 abilities:3A | cognitive theory |
scoliosis (curved spine) | congenital defects |
osteoporosis (progressive bone disease) | disorders of joints, bones, muscles |
parkinsons disease ( degenerative disorder of the central nervous system) | central nervous system damage |
fractures many pathological conditions affect body alignment & movement hence the capacity for exercise and activity (a break in the continuity of the bone) | muscoskeletal traum |
continuous passive movement machines (passive do for client, active client does on own) | CPM |
Manner or style of walking, including rhythm, cadence, and speed. | Gait |
achieved when relatively low centre of gravity is balanced of a wide, stable base of support | balance |
awareness of the position of body in relation to its parts | proprioception |
muscles are involved with joint stabilization (permit person to sit upright) | antigravity |
muscles contract to accomplish the same movement | synergestic |
Increased muscle tension without muscle shortening. Tightening muscle and holding in a stationary position ie. Footboard of bed | Isometric Contraction |
Increased muscle tension resulting in muscle contraction and muscle shortage. Changes in muscle strength | Isotonic Contraction |
Before initial patient/patient environment contact | 4 moments of hand hygiene-1 |
Before aseptic procedure | 4 moments of hand hygiene-2 |
After Body Fluid Exposure Risk | 4 moments of hand hygiene-3 |
After patient/patient environment contact | 4 moments of hand hygiene-4 |
The ability of an infectious microbe to cause disease | virulence |
healthcare acquired infections | Nosocomial |
• Tier two: airborne, droplet, contact • Psychological implications • Environment • Equipment • Specimen collection • Bagging waste or linen • Transporting clients | Isolation Precautions |
• Hospital acquired infection • Community acquired infection • Exogenous • Endogenous | Health Care Associated Infection |
• Normal Flora • Body defense mechanism • Inflammation • Vascular and cellular responses • Inflammatory exudate • Tissue repair | Defense against infection |
• Incubation period • Prodromal (early symptom of disease) • Illness stage • Convalescence | Infection process |
• Contact: direct, indirect, droplet • Air • Vehicles • Vector (mosquitos) | Modes of Transmision |
• Body openings: mouth, nose, rectal • Breaks in skin • Breaks in mucous membrane: skin in mouth, eyes, nose | Portal Exit |
• Food • Oxygen • Water • Temperature • pH • Minimal Light | Reservoir |
