Terms in this set (76)Assessment is the systematic and continuous collection of data about a client for the purpose of determining the client's current and ongoing health status, predicting the client's risks to health and identifying appropriate health-promotion activities. Collect, Organize, Validate, and Document Data. Assessment - Critical Thinking Activities - Making reliable observations 4 Types of Assessments -
Initial Assessment Initial (baseline) Assessment - Performed within specific time frame after admission to a health agency (refer to agency policy and procedure) Problem-Focused (System Specific) Assessment - Ongoing process integrated with nursing care Emergency Assessment - During any physiologic or psychologic crisis. Ongoing Reassessment -
Several months after initial assessment. Assessment Situation 1 Situation: Client complains of abdominal pain Physical Assessment: Inspect, auscultate, and palpate abdomen; assess vital signs. Assessment Situation 2 Situation: Client is admitted with a head injury. Physical Assessment: assess level of consciousness using the Glasgow Coma Scale; assess pupils for reaction to light and accommodation; assess vital signs. Assessment Situation 3 Situation: the nurse prepares to administer a cardiotonic drug to a client Physical Assessment: Assess apical pule and compare with baseline data. Assessment Situation 4 Situation: The client has just had a cast applied to the lower leg. Physical Assessment: Assess peripheral perfusion of toes, capillary refill, pedal pulse if accessible, and vital signs. Assessment Situation 5 Situation: The client's fluid intake is minimal Physical Assessment: Assess skin turgor, fluid intake and output, and vital signs. Actual Diagnosis is a client problem that is present at the time of the nursing assessment. Example is ineffective breathing pattern and anxiety. Is based on the presence of associated signs and symptoms. Assignment a downward or lateral transfer of both the responsibility and accountability of an activity from one individual to another Closed Question used in the directive interview, are restrictive and generally require only "yes" or "no" or short factual answers giving specific information. Example: "What medication did you take?" Cognitive Skills (intellectual skills) include problem solving, decision making, critical thinking, and creativity. They are crucial to safe, intelligent nursing care. Collaborative Care Plans Along with Critical Pathways, sequence the care that must be given on each day during the projected length of stay for the specific type of condition. Collaborative Interventions are actions the nurse carries out in collaboration with other health care team members, such as physical therapists, social workers, dietitians, and physicians. Concept Map is a visual tool in which ideas or data are enclosed in circles or boxes of some shape and relationships between these are indicated by connecting lines or arrows. Critical Pathways Along with Collaborative Care Plans, sequence the care that must be given on each day during the projected length of stay for the specific type of condition. Critical Thinking is a cognitive process during which a person reviews data and considers potential explanations before forming an opinion or making a decision. Cues are subjective or objective data that can be directly observed by the nurse, that is, what the client says or what the nurse can see, hear, feel , smell, or measure.

Formal Nursing Care Plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes information about the client's care. The most obvious benefit of a formal written care plan is that it provides for community care. Goals describe, in terms of observable client responses, what the nurse hopes to achieve by implementing the nursing interventions. example: Improved Nutritional Status Health Promotion Diagnosis is a clinical judgment of a persons, family's, or community's motivation and desire to increase well-being and actualize human health potential as expressed by a readiness to enhance specific health behaviors. Implementation consists of doing and documenting the specific nursing actions needed to carry out the interventions. The nurse performs or delegates the nursing activities for the interventions that were developed in the planning step and then concludes the implementing step by recording nursing activities and client responses. Independent Functions the areas of health care that are unique to nursing and separate the distinct from medical management. Independent Interventions are those activities that nurses are licensed to initiate on the basis of their knowledge and skills. physical care, ongoing assessment, emotional support and comfort, teaching, counseling, environmental management, and making referrals to other health care professionals. Indicator is a more concrete individual, family, or community state, behavior, or perception that serves as a cue for measuring an outcome and is similar to desired outcomes in traditional language. Individualized Care Plan is tailored to meet the unique needs of a specific client - needs that are not addressed by the standardized plain. Inferences are the nurse's interpretation or conclusions made based on the cues (ex: nurse observes that incision is red, hot, and swollen; the nurse makes the INFERENCE that the incision is infected).

(ex: the nurse thinks "Mr. Jones is very tired, I will reinforce her teaching after she is rested." interview a planned communication or a conversation with a purpose leading question a question that influences the client to give a particular answer multidisciplinary care plan a standardized plan that outlines the care required for clients with common, predictable usually medical conditions. Such plans also referred to as collaborative care plans and critical pathways, sequence the care that must be given on each day during the projected length of stay for the specific type of condition neutral question an open-ended question that does not direct the client to answer in a certain way such as "how do you feel?" nondirective interview an interview using open-ended questons and empathetic responses to build rapport and learn client concerns norm a generally accepted measure, rule, mode, or pattern; also referred to as a standard nursing diagnosis a statement or conclusion made by the nurse about the client's health problem.
