1. nutritional assessment along lifespan: - infancy: breast milk or formula
- childhood: 1000-2000 calories with a balanced diet
- adolescence: calcium, protein, iron to aid motor skills
- adulthood: less sodium, more fiber, assess for chronic disease risk
2. nutritional assessment tools: diet history, bmi, labs (albumin), and physical exam
3. albumin: maintains blood volume and pressure, transporting substances such as hormones, vitamins, and
drugs
4. long-term opioid abuse can lead to: tolerance, dependence, chronic pain worsening, respiratory
depression (depresses brain's respiratory centers, slowing breathing rate and depth), increased anxiety and depres-
sion, and lifestyle impacts
5. stress incontinence: leaking urine during physical activity like coughing or sneezing
6. urge incontinence: sudden and intense urge to urinate with leakage
7. overflow incontinence: inability to fully empty the bladder leading to dribbling
8. functional incontinence: physical or mental impairment prevents timely access to the bathroom
9. reflex incontinence: weakened muscles leads to leakage
10. therapeutic communication: open ended questions, reflection, silence, clarification, and summa-
rizing
11. barriers to therapeutic communication: distractions and judgment
12. fall risk assessments: - morse scale: uses history of falls, mobility, and mental status to assess fall risk
- sensation
- environment (trip hazards, lighting)
13. fall prevention strategies: clear hazards, grab bars, use non-slip shoes, teach slow movements, daily
foot checks, offer assistive devices
14. disaster preparedness strategies: - assessment: identify risks
- planning: develop protocols
- communication: talk with team
- training: practice drills, update the skills
- response: prioritize safety, triage effectively
- recovery: support patients, restore services, and debrief for improvement
15. discharge planning process: - goal: smooth transition from hospital to home
- assessment: assess patient needs
- planning: coordinate care with team and offer resources

- educate: educate the client on discharge planning
- collaboration: work with the intraprofessional team
- documentation: record discharge planning
- outcome: reduce readmissions, promote recovery
16. principles of safe patient transfers: - assessment: evaluate patient mobility, weight, and needs
- body mechanics: use safe and proper posture
- equipment: utilize tools such as slide boards and lifts
- communication: coordinate with team
- safety: secure area, lock wheels, remove trip hazards
- outcome: reduce falls, strains, and discomfort
17. x-ray usage: fractures, arthritis, and alignment
18. mri: soft tissue such as ligament injuries, joint degeneration, and tendon tears
19. ct scan: detailed views of complex bones such as fractures
20. dexa: osteoporosis, fat and muscle mass
21. bone scan: uses a radioactive tracer to highlight areas of high bone activity to detect abnormalities
22. electromyography: muscle abnormalities, nerve damage, and conditions such as neuropathy, myopa-
thy, and motor neuron diseases
23. risks for osteomalacia: vitamin d deficiency, calcium deficiency, phosphate deficiency, chronic kidney
disease, anticonvulsants, age/gender
(anticonvulsants interfere with vitamin d metabolism, therefore reducing calcium absorption)
24. nursing care priorities for musculoskeletal disorders: nonpharmacological interven-
tions
- encourage safe movement
- check neurovascular status
- teach wound care
- reduce pain
- enhance recovery
- minimize risks
25. cataracts treatment: - surgery: removes clouded lens and replaces with artificial (only form of cure)
- supportive measures: glasses or magnifying lens, improved lighting, anti-glare aids
26. glaucoma: - increased eye pressure damages optic nerve
- peripheral vision loss
