EXAM #1 - NUR 1060C HEALTH ASSESSMENT EXAM

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS

VERIFIED LATEST UPDATE


What is evidence based practice?

best evidence (research) + clinician's experience/expertise + patient preference/values

(ex: pt's not choosig to take meds and the nurse should support the decision and NO

judgement)= EBP

What is the expanded concept of health and how does it relate to the process of

data collection and health promotion?

Health promotion and disease prevention is the core of nursing. It is about treating the

pt as a whole through holistic care by addressing mind+body+spirit. This means that

when treating a pt we not only look at the S/S we look at the pt's lifestyle, culture, self

care behaviors, stress levels, environmental status, finances/poverty, family history,

"how does the pt perceive their own health?"

How does religion and spirituality influence health and illness?

It may influence how the pt perceives their illness - ex: they may not think that it's as

severe as it really is, it may impact their healer choice - ex: they may not choose

traditional doctors for t(x). The pt may use spirituality to find the reason for their illness.

What are some ways we can plan to incorporate select cultural needs including

illness causation into the nursing care of pts?

Being in nature, meditation, prayer, clergy visit

,What are the components of evidenced informed practice?

Evidence based theories + physical assesment+ clinical expertise + pt preferemce, it

may take longer for us to see changes in healthcare practices (ex: 1970s - in the 70s

steriod use for premature infants, it didn't become standard practice until the 90s)

What are some evidence base practice resources?

Professional organization websites, reputable sites, peer reviewed journal articles (ex:

QSEN)

What happens when the plan is implemented for the care of the pt?

We reassess, change the plan

What are the steps to evidence based practice? What is familiar about this

process?

It is another way to package the nursing process. (ex: before we used to listen to bowel

movements, now we assess for bowel movements and flatulence post op)

How do we identify priorities in pt care?

We categorized the priorities into three categories. First of highest level of priority =

ABC = Airway, Breathing, Circulation | Second level of priority = ex: change in mental

health status (can be a first level problem bc change LOC is a 1st sign of hypoxia), pain,

urination problems, then safety Third level of priorities - psychosocial, lack of knowledge

(ex: if the pt needs to take insulin, but doesn't know how) *This is done collaboratively

How do we organize patient information using databases?

We categorized them into a database. It starts as a complete health history and physical

examination/assessment, the physician is responsible to get a complete health history

within 24 hrs of admission | Focused/problem centered = limited to the concern in the

, moment, this is normally done when a pt comes into the hospital, urgent care | Follow

up = "is it getting up better" "do we need to change the plan" "are the intervention

working" | Emergent = fast collection of data while simultaneously treating the life

threatening issue (ex: someone comes in with OD you need to know how much they

took, when did they take it, what did they take)

What are the stages of health promotion and disease?

One of a nurse's roles is educator Primary = Prevention - immunizations, healthy

eating habits, not smoking, sunscreen | Secondary = screening - help detect disease

early, pap smears, mamograms, colonoscopy, PPD | Tertiary = treating the disease -

ex: keeping stable blood sugar with diabetes or hypertension - take your meds to

prevent stroke, heart disease

How does the demographic profile of the U.S. influence how we care for pts.?

Language barriers - impair access to healthcare, communication issue, Poverty rates -

higher among minority groups, Disability rates - language can also be a disability and

make it difficult to navigate the healthcare system, Undocumented immigrants - avoid

healthcare until they can't avoid bc of fear

What are the 4 basic concepts of culture?

shared beliefs/values/customs that are learned from birth transcends from generation to

generation, it's dynamic, and adapted through environmental needs 1. learned, 2.

shared, 3. adapted, 4. dynamic ||| Race = categorized by physical characteristics,

Ethnicity = cultural factors, ancenstry, language, religion, Acculturation = assimilation -

taking on the characteristics of the dominant culture, Biculturalism integration = merge

two cultures, Acculturative stress = stressors, change in social status, laguage barriers
