52
Nightingales contributions to nursing knowledge
By demonstrating Efficient knowledge about care, defining the practice as separate and distinct, making health. NUsing and illness different
53
Societal influences on nursing knowledge
Early schools followed nightdales knowledge. Doctors were bosses. Based on traditional ideas about following orders, and common sense. No real curriculum just learning from doctor lectures. The wars made women work more, more independent. Focus on education more. More accepted, philosophy's all beliefs and knowledge base created.
54
Theory
Composed of a group of concepts that describe a pattern of reality
55
Conceptual framework model
Group of concepts that follows a understandable pattern
56
Concepts
Abstract impressions organized into syllables of descriptive objects , properties and events and relationships
57
Theories derived from Deductive reasoning Inductive
Deductive : general idea to specific details | Indicative: specific details to broad idea
58
Nursing theory
Differentiates nursing from other disciplines . Serves purpose of describing, explaining, predicting, and controlling desired outcomes.
59
General systems theory
How to break whole things into parts and how the pats work together
60
Adaptation theory
Adjustment of living matter to other living things and to environment conditions. Continually occurring, effects change and involves interaction and response . Human adaptation occurs on 3 levels: internal self, social others, physical biochem
61
Developmental theory
Outlines the process of growth and dev of humans, as orderly and predictable . Beginning with conception and ending with death. Progress and behaviors of each person in each stage is unique. Erickson based his theory of psychosocial dev on the process of socialization .. emphasizing how individual learn to interact and environmental factors . Recognized role of social biological and env factors specific conflicts ppl accomplish during the 8 stages
62
Maslow
Theory of human needs . Physical and psychosocial needs considered essential to human life, rather than by age. 5 levels of hierarchy
63
About nursing theories
Theory based nursing directs nurses toward a commmon goal, knowledge base and rationale for reasons better problem solving skills, prepares them to answer questions, identify and define intercorrelated concepts. Should be simple and general and go on research and knowledge
64
Descriptive
Describe a event or situation, or relationship. Further identify properties and components of each
65
Prescriptive
Address nursing interventions and consequences of them deigned to control, promote and change clinical practice.
66
Common concepts in the theories
The patient, the environment, health, nursing. | Each is defined and described by a theorist
67
Theory in clinical practice
Dev and use of nursing theory provide autonomy in the practice value, respect, expert
68
Research
Process that uses observable and verifiable date collected in a systematic manner to describe e or explain or predict events. To improve healthcare promotes autonomy and strength , changing ways, examine quality of care
69
NIWR
Created by Ana . National center for nursing research .. build foundation for practice, prevent disease and disability, manage and eliminate symptoms caused by illness, enhance end of life
70
Quantitive research
Concepts of basic and applied research Basic: designed to generate and Refine a theory not use directly in practice. Applied: directly influence and improve clinical setting care.
71
Qualitative research
Conducted to gain insight by discovering meanings , reality based on perceptions research analyzes words or narratives not numbers. I differ for each person and change
72
Types of qualitative
Phenomenology.. describe experiences as they are lived meaning of experience Grounded theory.. how people describe their own reality and beliefs related to action Ethnography.. examine issues of a culture that are of interest to nursing Historical.. examine events and leaders of past to improve nursing practice today
73
Evidence-based practice
Problem-solving approach to making clinical decisions using best evidence available and most current collected from published research national standards and guidelines science and art ..best patient outcomes The information is collected and analyzed and used to answer questions taking into consideration patient preferences and values and clinical experiences of nurse can include specific interventions or quidelines
74
Challenges for using evidence-based practice
There is resistance because of nursing sort shortage no change in culture and nurse skill in leading and evaluating. The environment must support changes made based on EBP. Nurses must have knowledge and skill
75
Why use EBP
Based on Institute of medicine report that challenge healthcare professionals to provide care based on scientific evidence and cost.. The people funding the programs or hospitals wanted proof that it was working and being implemented ..most hospitals had departments that conducted research within the hospital to answer clinical practice questions. Now information from databases and articles are being used to change the practice EBP analyzes and reviews the information found from literature
76
Steps and implementing EBP
1. Ask a question about a clinical area of interest or intervention the most common is PICO format P is for patient population or problem I is for intervention of interest C is for comparison of interest to another treatment and other Ois for outcome of interestt 2. Collects most relevant or best evidence level seven is the best systematic reviews evidence-based practical guidelines. Systematic reviews summarize findings from multiple studies of a specific clinical practice questions and topic recommended practice changes and future directions for Research. Evidence-based practice guidelines synthesize info from multiple studies and recommend best practices to treat patients with a disease written by a panel Meta-analysis use a statistic school and analysis of the effect of a specific intervention across multiple studies 3. Critically appraise the evidence ask why their results of the study are the results valid and reliable and will the results improve patient care 4. Integrate the evidence with clinical expertise patient preferences and values in making a decision to change patient should agree with change 5. Evaluate the practice decision and change important to determine if changes effective and if expected outcomes is because of change
77
Infection
Disease state that results from the presence of pathogens in or on the body
78
Pathogen's
Micro organisms capable of causing disease most are bacteria and viruses and fungi (yeast molds) Uncommon ones are protozoa helminths (worms) prions which caused neurological disease
79
HAI : healthcare associated infections nosocomial
Infection that has originated from a hospital setting they did not have it before they came in examples are mrsa and cdiff
80
Endemic
Disease that occurs with predictability any specific region or population can appear in adifferent geographical location
81
Sources of infection Exogenous Endogenous Latrogenic
Exo: acquired from other people Endo : acquired from within the person Latro: From treatment procedure or equipment
82
Infection cycle
1. Infectious agent.. bacteria is most significant and most common examples is antibiotics.. viruses can't be treated by antibiotics they are the smallest agent.. fungi are spores or on the skin which include mold and yeast 2. Reservoir where it lives it's natural habitat carriers are asymptomatic it lives in their body 3. Portal of exit is point of escape it can be mouth nose hands G.I. 4. Means of transmission direct contact is touching or kissing indirect is from a fomite which is an inanimateobject airborne or droplet by coughing and sneezing
83
Susceptibility
Low immune system must overcome his defenses age and HIV are indicators
84
Factors affecting potential disease

All activities to prevent or break chain of infection medical is clean and surgical is sterile
88
CDC guideline
Standard use for all patients Transmission used in addition to standard for patients with suspected infection including neutropenic airborne droplets and contact
89
Basic principles of medical a sepsis
Practice good hand hygiene use PPE keep soil items and equipment from touching clothes don't place soiled things on floor avoid raising dust clean Lisa soiled things first Pour liquids down the drain disinfect and sterilize services and equipment follow precautions read and understand policies be aware of occupational safety and health act OSHA guidelines
90

Individual and environmental specific ricks factors factors contributing to Falls are being 65 and over history of them impaired vision and balance altered gait or posture or impaired mobility medications postural hypotension slow reaction time confusion disorientation and unfamiliar environment
93
Restraints
Used as last resort they limit movement they include siderails chairs rope you need a doctor order for them you need to document on them check every 15 minutes and remove every two hours a new order is needed every 24 hours
94
Skeletal system
Include bones joints and Cartlidge it's function is to support soft tissues to create body form and posture to protect crucial components such as brain long heart spinal cord to furnish services for attachment of muscles tendons and ligaments to produce movement it is storage area for minerals such as calcium and fat and produce blood cells which is called hematopoiesis Includes muscle tissue connective tissue and bones and joints movement occurs from skeletal muscle contracting exerting force on tendon which pulls the bone
95
Types of bones they are classified based on the shape
Long are upper and lower extremities height and length of person Short are for movement they are in wrist and ankle Flat are for shape they are in the ribs and scull Irregular are all others especially and spine and Jaw
96

Tendons
Strong flexible and elastic fibers bands and flatten sheets of connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone
111
Cartledge
Hard nonvascular connective tissue found in joins a shock absorber and reduces friction fat is also padding
112
Muscular system
Muscle tissue produces movement by contraction of its cells
113
Types of muscle
Skeletal works with tendons and bones to move body Cardiac is bulk of heart and produces contractions Smooth or visceral: walls of hollow organs like the stomach and intestine and walls of blood vessels and hollow tubes like the ureters
114
Two different muscle point of attachment
To stationary bone which is point of origin and two more movable bone which is point of insertion
115
Factors that allow motion maintenance of posture skeletal muscle contraction and heat production
Excitability contractibility extensibility and elasticity
116
Nervous system
Nerve impulses stimulate muscle to contract
117
Neurons
Nerve cells that conduct impulses from one part of the body to another
118
Afferent nervous system
Conveys info from receptors in peripheral of the body to the CNS it's processed by the CNS and leads to a response
119
Efferent nervous system
Conveys response from CNS to skeletal muscles by way of the somatic nervous system
120
Good posture and body alignment
A line of body parts up permits optimal musculoskeletal balance and operation and promotes healthy physiologic function correct and no strain
121
Balance
It is balanced if incorrect alignment with center of gravity and is close to its base of support the line of gravity go through the base of the support object has a wide base of support when standing in the center of pelvis midway between on bellicose and pubis the wider base of support and lower center of gravity means more balance
122
Postural reflexes
Group of body reflexes or automatic movements that keep posture and body up right
123
Pastoral tonus
Sustained contraction of skeletal muscles that keeps the body up right
124
Types of postural reflexes
Labyrinthine sense: sense of position and movement is provided by sensory organs and inner here it is stimulated by body movement and transmits pulses to cerebellum Proprioscepter or kinesthetic sense: informs brain of location of limb or body part as a result of joint movements stimulates nerve endings Visual or optic reflexes visual impressions contribute to pasture by altering the person to spatial relationships with environment Extensor or stress reflexes when extensor muscles are stretched beyond a certain point there stimulation causes a reflex contraction that aids person to reestablish erect posture
125
Body mechanics
Application of mechanical laws to the human body in regard to structure function in the position of body is important for a nurse and patient
126
Patient care ergonomics
Practice of designing equipment and work tasks to conform to the capability of the worker in relation to patient care use help when you can patient handling tasks are the primary cause of Mus you low skeletal disorders and nurses 47% back injuries variables that lead to this ware uncoordinated lifting and transferring a patient without assistance lifting when fatigued lifting after the recent injury repented of my friends standing for long periods of time transferring patients and repositioning
127
Orthopedics
Correction are prevention of disorders of body structures used in locomotion
128
Contractures
Permanent contraction of muscle if body isn't used or exercised
129
Factors affecting movement in alignment
Growth development physical and mental health lifestyle variables attitude values fatigue and stress weather
130
Iso metric iso tonic and isokinetic movement
Iso metric is contraction without shortening increase muscle mass and holding poses Isotonic is shortening in active movement improve the mobility Isokinetic are contractions with resistance resistance is that a constant rate by an X ternal device examples are rehab or lifting weights
131
Aerobic body movement
Sustained rhythmic muscle movement that increase bloodflow heart rate metabolic demand for oxygen overtime from a cardiovascular conditioning examples are swimming walking and jogging
132
Stretching movements
Isn't that a lot muscles and joints to be stressed gently through their full range of motion increasing flexibility
133
Strength and endurance
Muscle building programs weight training Cal statics there are isometric
134
Exercise effects on cardiovascular system
Rhythmic contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle groups demand oxygen to meet it increase oxygen to skeletal muscle so they heart rate increases contractile strength of my oh Cardium increases stroke volume which is the volume ejected from the heart systolic arterial blood pressure increases what is shunted from non-exercising tissues to the heart and muscle improves venous return
135
Effects on respiratory system
Decreased ventilatory effort increased respiratory secretions decreased depth and rate artelectasis: incomplete expansion or collapse of lung tissue for exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen which upsets the acid-base talents congestion lead to respiratory tract infections hypostatic pneumonia is from immobility decreased movement or thoracic cage from loss of muscle or pressure
136
Effects on musculoskeletal system
Atrophy is decreased tone strength joint mobility flexibility demineralization and limited endurance Contractures and ankylosis: consolidation and mobilization of a joint contractures from atrophy decrease in strength coordination and endurance there permanently closed
137
Osteoporosis
Demineralization of bone from stress and strain normally stimulates bone formation and balance of normal bun distraction loss of phosphorus calcium in bone matrix. Dissusosteoporosis: brittle or spongy bone with two fractures and Deformation Arthropathy : joint disease from calcium depletion Renal calculus: kidney sounds excessive secretion of calcium through kidneys and urinary tract
138
Metabolic processes
Resting body requires less energy decreased cellular demand. For oxygen fever trauma or illness increases metabolism cannibalism is muscle wasting nitrogen balance and G.I. problems
139
G.I. system
Disturbance an appetite decreased food and take off her protein metabolism poor digestion utilization of food increased food decreased exercise equals weight gain constipation poor defecation reflexes
140
Effects on urinary
Can use in your readers are level so you're in remains and pelvis longer increase bacteria leads to UTI also poor hygiene incontinence catheters increase UTI also increased renal calculi which is stones because of increased level of urinary calcium retention and incontinence alkaline urine decrease volume
141
Skin
Impaired circulation . break down , pressure ulcers
142
Psychosocial
Decrease sense of self self confidence depression not a social change in thought process
143
The nursing process
Assessing is interview and physical assessment about mobility and activity nursing history ask about daily activity level mobility problems and fitness goals physical assessment includes mobility general assessment of gate alignment join structure function muscle mass tone strength endurance and normal day activity functionsg C a TZ ADL index: points for activities bathing dressing toiletry answering continents and feeding six is. Highest and zero is lowest Diagnosis includes cues indicating potential and a shovel problem I didn't five the complications and how to fax other areas outcome identification and planning no problems leads to promotion long-term short-term goals to get their problems are preventing more implementing is proper body mechanics to decrease injury erect posture correct alignment all mobility active exercise independently, passive is moving the body part for them evaluating is evaluating effect enough of care plan and hands retain regain mobility
144
Flaccidity | Spasticity
Dead nonmoving ....and Stiff
145
Paresis | Paralysis
Impaired muscle strength or weakness | Not being able to move that part
146
Hemiparesis | Hemiplasia
Weakness on one side | Paralysis of one half of the body
147
Epidermis
Composed of layers of stratified epithelium cells these cells fuse to form protective waterproof layer of keratin material these cells have no blood vessels and depend on underlying tissues for nourishment and waste removal it regenerates quickly and easy
148
Dermis
Framework of you elastic connective tissue nerves hair follicles glands and blood vessels are located in the slayer each hair consist of a shaft which Pro jacks through the dermis beyond the surface of the skin and hair follicle.
149
Subcutaneous tissue
The underlying layer that anchors the skin layers to the underlying tissues of the body may consist of adipose tissue and connective tissue it's stores fat for energy insulates the body and print Fides cushioning it contains blood and lymph vessels and nerves and fat cells
150
Functions of skin and mucous membranes
Protection temperature regulation psychosocial and sensation vitamin D production immunologic absorption and elimination Mucous membranes align body cavities and they are also in the digestive tract respiratory passages and and urinary and reproductive tracks epithelial covers the mucous membrane surfaces and contains cells that secrete mucus the mucous membranes have receptors seizing and coughing are protective mechanisms that help rid of a foreign materials they also function to absorb substances from their surface
151
Factors affecting skin integrity
Normal healthy skin and mucous membranes serve as the first line of defense against harmful agents resistance to injury of the skin varies among people factors including resistance include the age amount of underlying tissues and illness conditions the body needs to be nourished and hydrated so the cells are resistant adequate circulation is also necessary
152
Developmental considerations
In young kids the skin is thinner weaker An infant skin and mucous membranes are injured easily and are subject to infection as the child grows the skin becomes increasingly resistant to injury an infection in older adults they have thin easily damaged skin circulation and collagen formation are impaired decrease elasticity
153
State of health
Very thin and very obese people are more susceptible to skin irritation and injury fluid loss through fever vomiting or diarrhea makes people do you hydrated more and the skin more loose and flabby excessive moisture such as perspiration predisposes the skin to break down especially with incontinence jaundice is itchy and dry and more likely to scratch their skin eczema or any disease of the skin can cause lesions
154
Wound
Break or disruption in the normal integrity of the skin and tissues that disruption may range from small to third-degree burn they may result from mechanical forces or physical injury
155
Intentional and unintentional wounds
Intentional our plans such as invasive therapy or treatment the wound edges are clean and bleeding is usually controlled it was made under sterile conditions and infection is decreased unintentional wounds are by accident the edges are jagged bleeding is uncontrolled and they are at high risk for infection
156
Open and closed wounds
And open occurs from intentional trauma the skin surface is broken and has a portal of entry. There is a delay in bleeding tissue damage and infection closed ones are from a blow force or strain this service is not broken but soft tissue is damaged and in ternal injury or hemorrhage may occur
157
Acute and chronic wounds
A cute usually heal within days two weeks the wound edges meet close to the skin surface and are not as much of a risk for infection they usually move through the healing process without difficulty chronic one the healing process is delayed the risk of infection is increased they remain in the inflammatory phase of healing
158
Phases of wound healing | Homostasis
Homostasis: occurs immediately after the injury blood vessels constrict and blood clotting begins through platelet activation and clustering then They dilate and capillary permeability increases allowing plasma and blood components to leak out into the area forming exudate- debrise and white blood cells and bacteria , the accumulation of this causes swelling and pain. Increase perfusion results in heat and redness if they want a small declot loses fluid and a scab is formed platelets also release substances that stimulate other cells to migrate to the area
159
Inflammatory phase
It lasts about 4 to 6 days white blood cells such as leukocytes and macrophages moved to the area leukocytes arrive first and ingest bacteria and cellular debris's then 24 hours later macrophages and her they are essential to the healing process they ingesta breeze and release growth factors that are necessary for growth of epithelial cells and new blood vessels the growth factors attracts fibroblast that fill in the wound acute inflammation pain heat and redness are common mild temperature increased white blood cells and not feeling good is also common
160
Maturation phase
The final stage begins about three weeks after injury and can continue for longer collagen that was deposited is remodeled making it stronger and more like the tissue around it new college and continues to be deposited which compresses the blood vessels so that it turns into a scar scar tissue is less elastic and less strong One is a hero by secondary intention take longer to remodel and for my scar smaller
161
Factors affecting healing | Local factors
Visa card directly in the wound thank would pressure desiccation which is dehydration maceration witches overhydration drama Adema infection excessive bleeding necrosis which is death of tissue in the presence of a biofilm a thick grouping of micro organisms.

Systemic factors affecting wound healing these occur throughout the body
Age the major skin layers arise from different embryologic origins resulting in Port Huron is between the epidermis and dermis this loose finding causes layers to separate easily during an inflammation process epidermal stripping is the unintentional removal of epidermis with tape Circulation and oxygen adequate blood flow to deliver nutrients and oxygen and remove local toxins bacteria is essential for healing Healing also requires adequate proteins carbs fats vitamins and minerals calories and proteins are necessary to rebuild thousand tissue vitamins a and C are essential for epithelialization and collagen synthesis zinc plays a role in proliferation of cells Corticosteroid drugs require post operative radiation therapy and are at risk for delayed healing it also decreases the inflammatory process radiation depresses bone marrow function. Which decreases leukocytes and increase risk for infection chemotherapeutic agents and paren or stop proliferation of all growing self antibiotic therapy increases risk for secondary or superinfection
163
Infection
Results when the immune system fails to control the growth of microorganisms symptoms usually become apparent 2 to 7 days after the injury drainage increased drainage pain redness and swelling and increased body temperature in increased white blood cell count. Delayed healing and discoloration of granulation tissue and chronic wounds pain and delayed healing may be the only symptom it can lead to Osseo Molite us a bone infection or sepsis presence of pathogenic organisms in the blood or tissues
164
Hemorrhage
Can be from infection or he Rosian of a blood vessel by foreign body like a drain check during the first 48 hours and no less than every eight hours after if excessive bleeding does occur additional pressure dressings or packing fluid replacement and surgical intervention internal hemorrhage causes the formation of a hematoma or blood clot if the bleeding leads to a large accumulation of blood I can put pressure on surrounding vessels and cause tissue ischemia which is deficiency of blood to an area
165
Dehiscence and evisceration
The most serious post operative complications dehiscence is the partial or total separation of one players as a result of excessive stress on ones that are not healed evisceration is the most serious complication of dehiscent's the wound completely separate with protrusion of this garage through the incisional area obese and mount nourish smokers anticoagulants or infected wounds excessive coughing vomiting or straining increases the chance for this. Increase in flow of fluid from balloons and postoperative days for in five can be a sign if it does occur cover it with sterile towels moisten with 0.9% sodium chloride solution and notify Dr. once it occurs the wound is likely to open if it is in the abdominal area it is a medical emergency. Place the patient in Fowler's position and cover the exposed contents
166
Fistula
Abnormal passage from an internal organ are vessel to the outside of the body or from one internal organ or vessel to another they may be created purposefully but is often the result of an infection that has developed into an abscess the accumulation of fluid applies pressure to surrounding tissues leading to the formation of an unnatural passage increases risk for delayed healing infection and balances and breakdown
167
Pressure ulcer
A runes with a localized area of injury to the skin or underlying tissue can be acute or chronic because this pressure most developed one soft tissue is compressed between a bony prominence and an external surface for a long time or one soft tissue undergoes pressure in combination with sheer or friction
168
Factors and pressure ulcer development
What vessel collapse caused by pressure then necrosis occurs external pressure and friction and sharing that Taryn and your blood vessels and abrade the top layer of skin Major predisposing factor is external pressure which leads to a chignon deficiency of blood in a particular area hypoxia which is an adequate amount of oxygen Adema inflammation and necrosis
169
Friction
Occurs when two services rub against each other the injury resembles an abrasion it can damage superficial blood vessels directly under the skin a patient who lives on recalled sheets is likely to sustain this type of friction disk and over the elbows in heels is often injured due to this when patients lift themselves up friction burns can also occur on the back when patients are pulled her slid over sheets
170
Shear
Results when one layer of tissue slides over another layer sheer separates the skin from underlying tissues the small blood vessel's and capillaries in the area are stretched and possibly torn resulting in decreased circulation patients who are pulled are more at risk or when they are sitting operate and slide down
171
Pressure all servers stages
The first indication is blanching which pale and white this ischemia makes the skin a more paler where the circulation is in adequate when pressure is relieved it is followed by hyperemia which is rabbiting the body floods the area with blood to nourish and remove Wastes. Reactive hyperemia is not a pressure ulcer it should fade between 60 and 90 minutes if the pressure continues after ichemia occurs a pressure ulcer develops Deep tissue injury is purple or maroon with a localized area of discolored intact skin or blood filled blister Stage 1: intact with a non-blanchable redness of a localized area usually over a bony prominence Stage 2: partial thickness loss of dermis a shallow open ulcer Stage 3: Full thickness tissue loss subcutaneous fat maybe visible but not bone tendon or muscle sloth may be present can be undermined and tunneled Stage 4: Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone tendon or muscle swath or eschar maybe present
172
Types of drainage
Serous drainage is primarily clear this theorist portion of the blood and from serious membranes it is clear and watery Sanguineous drainage consist of large numbers of red blood cells and looks like blood bright red drainages indicate of a fresh bleeding or darker drainage indicates older bleeding Serosanguineous : mixture of serum and red blood cells it is light pink Purulent : is made up of white blood cells liquefied dead tissue and both dad and live bacterium it is thick has a foul odor and berries and color such as yellow or green
