25
Interventions for sensory overload
minimize stimuli (less light, noise, less tv/radio, calm tone, reduce noxious odors), provide rest, and teach stress reduction
26
Interventions for impaired vision
attend to glasses, sufficient light, protect eyes in sunlight, magnifying lens/large-print books, evaluate (ability to perform ADL's and remain safe in the environment) need for assistance seeing eye dog
27
Interventions for impaired hearing
care of hearing aid, closed-caption tv, regular inspection of ear canals, techniques to improve communication, promote safety, and assess for social isolation
28
Interventions for confused clients
reorient frequently (state you name; day, date, time; provide clocks, calendars, visual clues to time, and use personal belongings and maintain safe environment, communicate clearly, slowly respond to feelings use gestures) limit choices, promote feelings of security and use alternative therapies.
29
interventions for unconscious client
continue orientation to reality, safety measures (bed in low position side rails up (may be listening, hearing is last sense to go). attend to body systems (eye care, ROM, skin care/mouth care, urinary drainage, bowel management, and nutrition.
30
What is Pain?
unpleasant sensory/emotional experience, it can have destructive effects, can warn of potential injury, a multidimensional experience.
31
Classification of Pain by origin
superficial, visceral, somatic, radiating/referred, phantom, psychogenic.
32
classification of pain by cause
nociceptive or neuropathic
33
classification of pain by quality
quality
34
classification of pain by duration
acute, chronic, or intractable
35
Physiology of pain
transduction, transmission, pain perception, and pain modulation
36
factors that influence pain
past experience with pain, emotions, developmental stage, sociocultural factors, communication skills, cognitive impairments, other illnesses contributing to pain.
37
Assessing Pain
includes obtaining a complete pain history (onset, location, aggravating/alleviating factors), nonverbal signs of pain (elevated pulse/blood pressure, crying, moaning, grimacing).
38
Pain Scale
visual analogue scales (VAS), Numeric rating scale (NRS), simple descriptor scale, or Wong-Baker faces pain rating scale.
39
Nonpharmacological measures
cutaneous stimulation (based on "gate control" theory, TENS, PENS, acupuncture, acupressure, massage, use of heat/cold, contralateral stimulation; immobilization/rest; cognitive-behavioral interventions (distraction, progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, hypnosis, therapeutic touch, humor or journaling)
40
Pharmacological measures
non-opioid analgesics (NSAIDs, acetaminophen), Opioid analgesics (includes IV, IM, Transdermal, and epidural forms, Client-controlled analgesia pumps)
41
It is most important for the nurse to understand the various ways in which pain is classified
so that he can develop an effective pain management plan
42
Physiology of Pain
transduction, transmission, pain perception, and pain modulation.
43
transduction
activation of nociceptors by stimuli
44
transmission
conduction of pain message to spinal cord
45
pain perception
recognizing and defining pain in cortex
46
pain modulation
changing pain perception
47
What is Growth?
physical changes that occur over time
48
What is Development?
process of adapting to one's environment over time.
49
Principles of growth and development
they follow an orderly, predictable pattern. Growth cephalocaudal pattern, Development Proximodistal pattern.
50
Principles of development
simple skills develop separately and independently, each body system grows at its own rate, and body system functions become increasingly differentiated over time.
51
