NSG6006 Pre-specialty evaluation
AANA - ANS american association of nurse anesthetists
accreditation - ANS The voluntary process whereby schools of nursing are reviewed
by external nursing educational agencies for the purpose of determining the quality
of a nursing and/or APRN program.
Acne Vulgaris - ANS patho: Excessive production of sebum; related to androgenic
hormones; Increase size and productivity of the sebaceous glands;
hyperkeratinization
Acute Epiglottis - ANS Severe, rapidly progressive, life-threatening infection of
epiglottis and surrounding area. Cause: Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib);
Decreased incidence is due to the Hib vaccination. s/s: High fever, sore throat,
inspiratory stridor, severe respiratory distress, tripod position with drooling and
dysphagia
Do NOT examine the throat: may trigger laryngospasm and cause respiratory
collapse
Tx: Emergency airway and antibiotic administration
advance nsg practice - ANS integration and application of a broad range of
theoretical and evidence based knowledge that occurs as a part of graduate nsg
education
advance practice nsg - ANS the patient focused application of an expanded range of
competencies to improve health outcomes for patients and populations in a
specialized clinical area of the larger discipline of nsg
anticipatory guidance - ANS a particular type of guidance aimed at helping families
know what to expect
Asthma - ANS Episodic attacks of bronchospasm, bronchial inflammation, mucosal
edema, and increased mucous production.
patho: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) causes the mast cells to degranulate, releasing a
large number of inflammatory mediators; Vasodilation; Increased capillary
permeability; Mucosal edema; Bronchial smooth muscle contraction
(bronchospasm); Tenacious mucous secretion; Coughing
Atopic Dermatitis or Eczema - ANS a. Cause is unknown, but 75% to 80%
demonstrate a personal or family history of asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergies, or
elevated immunoglobulin E (IgE)
, Atopic Dermatitis or Eczema - ANS patho: "Inside-out" or immunologic
dysregulation, leading to an epidermal barrier abnormality; "Outside-in" explanation
with primary barrier dysfunction as the cause; Alterations in filaggrin protein: Defect
of the epidermal barrier
authoritarian or autocratic leader - ANS leader makes all decisions without
considering input from staff. Negative reinforcement and punishment are often used
to enforce rules. Because knowledge is seen as power, critical information may be
withheld from the team. Mistakes are not tolerated and blame is placed on
individuals rather than on faulty processes. The positive side of this style is that it
works perfectly in emergencies or chaotic situations where there is little time for
discussion. It is useful when enforcing policies and procedures that protect resident
health and safety, but it does promote trust, communication, or teamwork when used
for day to day operations; micromanagers
Ball and Cox: A Theory of Legitimate Influence - ANS Subjects (N = 36) from the
United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia participated; they were
required to be master's-prepared or graduate students preparing for an advanced
practice role. The investigators conducted interviews and made observations of the
participants over a 3-year period. The theory emerged from this study; work
suggests that the activities of APNs, in this case NPs and CNSs, are strategic and
focused and that some activities involve direct service to patients, whereas others
are aimed at communication and system issues
Behavioral systems model
- Dorothy Johnson - - ANS is a model of nursing care that advocates the fostering of
efficient and effective behavioral functioning in the patient to prevent illness
Behaviorist Learning Theory - ANS Learning is based on associations people make
between stimuli and responses, and the belief that life is largely a matter of habit that
requires little thinking. What is learned can be unlearned by modifying the stimulus
conditions in the environment or changing the response to stimuli. B.F. Skinner
operant conditioning & Pavlov classical conditioning
Bohr effect - ANS Shift in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve caused by changes
in CO2 and H+ concentration in the blood
Brown's Framework for Advanced Practice Nursing - ANS developed a conceptual
framework for the entire field of advanced practice nursing, including the
environments that surround and impact upon practice; 4 main and 17 specific
concepts (specific concepts are in parentheses): environments (society, health care
economy, local conditions, nursing, advanced practice community); role legitimacy
(graduate education, certification, licensure); advanced practice nursing (scope,
clinical care, competencies, managing health care environments, professional
