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

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
• Number • Virulence • Entry and survival in host • Susceptibility of host Infectious Agent
• Infectious agent or pathogen • Reservoir or source for pathogen growth • Portal of Exit • Mode of Transmission • Portal of Entry • Susceptible host Chain of Infection
infections process transmitted from one person to another communicable disease
