classifications
Pain Assessment Scales - ANSWER:Numeric, FACES, FPS-R, OUCHER, NIPS, CRIES,

FLACC - ANSWER:Pain assessment tool for infants and children under 3 years,
assessing facial expression, leg movement, activity level, cry, consolability.
PAINAD - ANSWER:Scale measuring 5 common behaviors (breathing, vocalization,
facial expression, body language, consolability) in people with dementia to assess
pain.
Standard Precautions - ANSWER:Practices for all patients in all care situations based
on risk assessment, using common-sense practices and protective equipment to
prevent infection spread.
OLD CARTS ICE - ANSWER:Acronym for pain assessment including Onset, Location,
Duration, Characteristic, Aggravating Factors, Relieving Factors, Therapeutics,
Severity, Impact, Coping, Emotional response.
PQRST - ANSWER:Acronym for assessing pain intensity, location, quality, duration,
alleviating/aggravating factors, effects on daily life, and patient's pain relief goal.
Health History - ANSWER:Interview to gather past and present health data for
creating health plans and addressing health issues.
General Survey - ANSWER:Study of the whole person's health state and physical
characteristics, including observations of appearance, hygiene, body structure,
movement, emotional status, and behavior.
, Mental Status - ANSWER:Emotional and cognitive function of a person, relative and
ongoing.
Orientation Status - ANSWER:Awareness of self in relation to the objective world,
including person, place, time, and situation.
Holistic Assessment - ANSWER:Viewing mind, body, and spirit as interdependent and
addressing all human needs in nursing care.
Subjective Data - ANSWER:Patient's reported symptoms during history taking.

auscultation, palpation, and percussion during physical examination.
Comprehensive Assessment - ANSWER:Detailed history and physical examination at
care onset in primary care or hospital admission.
Problem-based Assessment - ANSWER:Focused history and examination limited to a
specific problem or complaint.
Episodic/Follow-up Assessment - ANSWER:Assessment for patients following up on
previously identified health problems.
Shift Assessment - ANSWER:Assessment during hospitalization to identify changes in
patient's condition from baseline.
Screening Assessment - ANSWER:Short examinations focused on disease detection.
Therapeutic Communication Strategies - ANSWER:Active listening, empathy,
facilitation, clarification, reflection, interpretation, summarization, confrontation.
Therapeutic Communication Barriers - ANSWER:Actions like arguing, false
reassurance, probing sensitive areas that hinder effective communication.
Fluid & Electrolytes - ANSWER:Regulating extracellular fluid volume, body fluid
osmolality, and plasma electrolyte concentrations.
Thermoregulation - ANSWER:Maintaining core body temperature at a near constant
value.
Perfusion - ANSWER:Flow of blood through arteries and capillaries delivering
nutrients and oxygen to cells.
Gas Exchange - ANSWER:Transporting oxygen to cells and carbon dioxide from cells.
Infection - ANSWER:Invasion and multiplication of microorganisms in body tissues,
potentially causing cellular injury or antigen-antibody response.
