◉ developmental disabilities. Answer: -are those that occur any time
from birth to 22 years of age and result in impairment of physical or
mental health, cognition, speech, language, or self-care
-Examples of developmental disabilities include spina bifida,
cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy, dwarfism, and
osteogenesis imperfecta
-Some developmental disabilities occur as a result of birth trauma or
severe illness or injury at a very young age, whereas many
developmental disabilities are genetic in origin
-Some developmental disabilities overlap with cognitive and/or
intellectual disabilities that affect intellectual functioning and
adaptive behavior.
◉ intellectual disabilities. Answer: -occurs before 18 years of age
and is characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual
,functioning as well as in adaptive behavior, including many everyday
social and practical skills.
◉ sensory disability. Answer: -characterized by impairment of the
sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and/or taste
-Sensory disabilities most commonly affect hearing or vision;
however, they also include learning disabilities that affect the ability
to learn, remember, or concentrate; disabilities that affect the ability
to speak or communicate; and disabilities that affect the ability to
work, shop, and care for oneself, or access health care
-Risks associated with sensory disabilities include isolation, reduced
cognitive function, poor physical and psychological health, and
increased risk of falls and hospitalization
◉ psychiatric disabilities. Answer: -defined as a mental illness or
impairment that substantially limits one's ability to complete major
life activities, such as learning, working, and communicating
◉ acquired disability. Answer: may occur as a result of an acute and
sudden injury (e.g., traumatic brain injury [TBI]; spinal cord injury;
and traumatic amputation due to traffic crashes, falls, burns, or acts
of violence such as intimate partner violence and war and military
conflicts), acute nontraumatic disorders (e.g., stroke, myocardial
infarction), or progression of a chronic disorder (e.g., arthritis,
,multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, heart disease, blindness due to diabetic
retinopathy)
◉ Models of Disability. Answer: -Several models of disability have
been used to address or explain the issues encountered by people
with disabilities
-The Interface Model (Goodall, 1995), developed by a nurse,
promotes care designed to be empowering rather than care that
promotes dependency
*It takes into account the disabling condition and its disabling
effects
*it promotes the view that people with disabilities are capable,
responsible people who are able to function effectively despite
having a disability
*refer to chart 7-2*
◉ what is impairment?. Answer: loss or abnormality of
psychological, physiological, or anatomical structure or function at
the organ level
◉ what is disability?. Answer: restriction or lack of ability to
perform an activity in a normal manner
, ◉ true or false: High waist circumferences put patients at risk for
diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, heart attack, and stroke.
Answer: TRUE
-men: greater than 40 inches
-women: greater than 35 inches
◉ biochemical assessment. Answer: -they can test the level of a
given nutrient and reflect abnormalities of metabolism in relation to
the utilization of nutrients.
-tests of serum and urine are done to determine whether the values
are within an acceptable range. Some of these tests, while reflecting
recent intake of the elements detected, can also identify a long-term
deficiency (below-normal levels) even when there are no clinical
symptoms of deficiency.
◉ what is the most accurate determinant of a patient's pain?.
Answer: -the patient's report of the pain
◉ what can you do for a patient that is taking morphine but ends up
with respiratory depression?. Answer: -administer naloxone
(narcan)
