Cellular Regulation Flashcards
Cellular regulation
Intracellular function that support cell homeostasis including growth replication and differentiation
Normal cellular regulation characteristics
Proper cell growth
Healthy nucleus
Functioning organelles
Appropriate mitosis
Different cells for different task
Cellular homeostasis
Any process involved in maintenance of internal steady state at cellular levels
Altered cell regulation
Slowed development
Damage to healthy tissue
Skin growth
Lumps or masses
Weight loss or gain
Reoccurring illness or infections
Cancer
Risk factors affecting cell regulation
Age: older adults
Smoking
Genetic: inherit mutations
Infection agent
Radiation exposure
Carcinogen exposure
Poor nutrition and physical activity
Sample nursing diagnosis
Impaired cellular regulation related to abnormal cell formation as evidenced by abnormal assessment findings (cancer)
Skin cancer
Lung cancer
Breast cancer
Prostate cancer
Cancer
Abnormal cell growth
Cell divide out of control
Diagnostic test
Radiographic x ray: ct scan
Direct visualization of suspicious tissue: colonoscopy, endoscopy
Labs: cbc , chemistry panel, genetic tumor marker tesr
Priority assessment : cancer: impaired cellular regulation
History taking: feeling tired or weak
Symptoms analysis
Family history
Social habits
Nutrition and Exercise habits
Nursing clinical management:cancer
Primary prevention
Health promotion
Regular physical activity, eating a balanced meal diet, avoiding tobacco use, avoiding excessive sun exposure
Cancer screening
Secondary prevention
Screening
Mammogram, colonoscopy and psa test
Tertiary prevention
Collaborative care
Support primary and / or adjuvant therapy options
Symptom management
Promoting nutrition
Body image support
Grief/ emotional supports
Body image support
Grief/ emotional support
Nursing goals and outcome
Patient will report maximal pain relief/control with minimal interference with ADL (SYMPTOMATIC MANAGEMENT)
Patient will participate in specific interventions to stimulate appetite/increase dietary intake (PROMOTING NUTRITION)
Patient will verbalize understanding of body changes and acceptance of self in the situation (BODY IMAGE SUPPORT)
Patient will demonstrate adaptation to changes that have occurred evidenced by setting of realistic goals and active participation in work/play/ personal relationships as appropriate (GRIEF AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT)
