Caring in Primary - ANSWER •Means concern about a person, event,
project and things
•The ethic of caring must be learned by the nurse experimentally
•Caring helps nurses identify successful interventions and this concern
then guides future caregiving
Culturally competent care - ANSWER •Explicit use of culturally based
care and health knowledge in sensitive, creative and meaningful ways to
fit the general life and needs of individuals or groups for beneficial and
meaningful health and well-being or to help them face illness, disabilities
or death
•Need to exhibit specific ability, knowledge sensitivity, openness, and
flexibility toward the appreciation of cultural difference
Culturally Congruent care - ANSWER •The uses of sensitive, creative,
and meaningful care practices to fit with the general values beliefs and
lifeway's of a client.
•Need to determine how to provide care that does not conflict with their
values
Freedom of information and protection of privacy act - ANSWER
•Federal legislation that protects personal info, including health info
•Delineates how private sector organizations may collect, use, of
disclose personal information
•Individuals have the right to access their information
Body Mechanics - ANSWER the coordinated efforts of the
musculoskeletal and nervous system to maintain proper balance,
posture and alignment
Why do we practice body mechanics - ANSWER •To prevent injury to
ourselves, our workers and out patients
,•To reduce fatigue in muscle groups, thereby preventing overexertion
injury
•To make good habit of good body - mechanics
•To act as a role model for other
Body alignment - ANSWER relationship of ones body part to another
body part along horizontal or vertical line. Correct alignment reduces
stress and injury on musculoskeletal, maintains adequate muscle tone
and balance
How assess the object to be moved - ANSWER •LOOK: Charts, ADLs,
environment, Can they weight bear?
•LISTEN: to others and ask questions
•FEEL: When you touch does the person respond? Stiffen?
How to prepare your body for the move - ANSWER •Correct stance,
wide base of support
•Feet apart, knees slightly flexed
•Balanced, pelvic tile, contract abdominals
Describe the base of support - ANSWER •The area on which a object
rests
•Feet apart - shoulder width
•Weight evenly distributed
•Body aligned and balanced
Principles of body mechanics - ANSWER •Work at comfortable height
•Balance object above base of support
•Use smooth coordinated movements
•Face direction of task
•Avoid opposing forces such as gravity and friction
•Use whole hand grip
•Squat do not stoop
•Use your body when pushing or pulling on object
•Use momentum
•Use mechanical aid and get assistance if needed
, How to reduce the risk of injury - ANSWER •Exercise - strengthens,
stretch muscles, and maintains mobility in joints
•Nutrition - Excess weight places unnecessary strain on muscles and
alter alignment
Florence Nightingale - ANSWER •Focused on the importance of the
environment, including clean living areas, fresh air, and presence of light
•Demonstrated how to think about patients and their environment. By
shifting the focus from disease processes toward an environment
conductive to healing
•She differentiated the role of nursing from that of medicine
Qualitative research - ANSWER •Can not be quantified or measured
•Must understand the perspective of the person in the situation
•Descriptions the patient gives about his or her health
Examples of qualitative research - ANSWER •Ethnography
•Phenomenology
•Grounded theory
Ethnography - ANSWER Involves observation and description of
behaviour in social settings and is derived from anthropology, where it
provides the means to study the culture of groups of people
Phenomenology - ANSWER The focus is on lived experience of
specific phenomenon from the perspective of the people who are in the
situation
Grounded theory - ANSWER Means of generating hypotheses and
theories about social processes from the data
Quantitative Research - ANSWER •Can be precisely measured and
quantified
•Fall within the positivist paradigm and provide rigorous, systematic,
objective examination of specific concepts and their relationships
•Experimental Research
