Chapter 25: Occupational Health Nursing
- American Association of Occupational Health Nurses (AAOHN): professional
association for nurses working in business setting, dedicated to the health / fsafety of
workers, worker population, and community groups. → Levels in occupational and
environmental health nursing = 1.) Competent: nurse confident and master with ability to
cope with specific situations. Less of a need to rely on judgement of peers / other
professionals. 2.) Proficient: ability to perceive client situations based on past
experiences, with focus on relevant aspects of situation. Ale to predict expected events
in certain situations / recognize protocols must be altered at times to meet needs of
client. 3.) Expert: extensive experience with brad knowledge base that enables one to
grasp a situation quickly on initiate action. Sense of salience grounded in practice
guiding actions and priorities.
- Biologic Hazards: from living organisms that cause adverse effects on people. →
Infectious agents, contaminated body fluid, poisonous plants, insects, scorpians,
spiders, vanemous snakes.
- Chemical Hazards: liquids, solids, dsts, fumes, vapors, gases. → drug / toxins, diesel
exhaust, aerosals, respitable particulate matter / fumes, take home toxins, substances in
cleaning solutions, floor strippers, disinfectant, sterilization products. Demiologic
Workplace Surveillance: tracks injuries, illness, hazards, and exposures.
- Ergonomics: study of relationship between people / working environments.
- Incidence Rate: used to calculate severity of problem to determine whether a cluster /
cohort is forming.
- Nanotechnology: manipulation of matter on a nearatomic scale to produce new
structures, materials, devices; generally defined as engineered structures, devices,
systems.
- Nanomaterials: things that have a length scale between 1 and 100 mm.
- National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health(NIOSH): federal agency
established to help ensure safe / healthy working condition by conducting scientific
research, gathering info, providing education / training in occupational safety / health.
- Occupational health history: assessmen of characteristics of the workers present
jobs, chronologic record of all past work / potential exposures, an occupational
exposure inventory, and list of other exposures in home / community. → injury with
highest incidence rate among occupational injuries / illnesses that reslt in das away
from work is sprains. → Highest rate of physical injuries = transportation.
