A+|CHAMBERLAIN COLLEGE|
A type of documentation often used in combination with charting by
exception. Focused notes are brief, and each note is focused on one patient
problem for efficiency in documenting, as well as for reading
DAR, data, action response
A type of documentation where a list of "normal findings" is provided and
nurses document assessment findings by confirming normal findings and
writing brief documentation notes for abnormal findings.
Charting By Exception
Documentation designed to decrease the amount of time required to
document the list found on assessment and write only brief progress notes for
abnormal findings or to document communication with other team members.
Charting By Exception
Included are reason for admission, health history, surgical history, allergies,
current medications, physical exam, medical diagnosis, and treatment plan in
documentation.
History & Physical (H&P)
,Medications that are administered into the intradermal (ID), subcutaneous
(subcut), or muscular (IM) tissues, or directly into the vascular system (IV).
Parenteral administration
Medication administered via the GI tract, PO, sublingual, buccal, and enteral
feeding tube routes.
Enteral administration of medications
When to consider medication reconciliation?
Client admission, level of care transitions, facility transfers, client discharge
4 components of pharmokinetics?
Adsorption,
distribution,
metabolism,
excretion.
What is the adult oxygen saturation expectation reference range?
95%-100%
Bacteria that are resistant to one or more classes of existing antimicrobials?
,Mulitdrug-resistant organisms (MDROs)
What are the 4 healthcare associated infections (HAIs)?
Central line-associated infection (CLABSI), Catheter-associated Urinary tract
infection (CAUTI), Surgical site infection (SSI), Ventilator associated
Pneumonia (VAP)
Guidelines for practice that are bundled together to help prevent HAIs such as
CAUTIs, CLABIs, VAPs, and SSIs.
Infection control bundles
Single client rooms built with special air handling and ventilation to provide a
negative pressure (relative to the surrounding area, such as the hall or
neighboring rooms). Also referred to as a negative pressure room.
Airborne Infection Isolation Room (AIIR)
Used during approximately the first 100 days after the transport specific
engineering and hospital designs that decrease the risk of environmental fungi
to the client who had HSCT.
Protective isolation
Stage of infection when the client begins having initial manifestations as the
infectious agent replicates. Nonspecific symptoms, fever, aches, poor appetite,
and malaise.
Prodromal
, The third stage of infection where manifestations of a specific infectious
disease process are obvious. This is also the stage where it's most severe.
Acute illness
The fourth stage of infection when manifestations begin to wane as the
number of infectious bacteria/viral particles decrease. The client begins to
regain strength.
Period of decline
The fifth and last stage of infection when the client returns to a normal state
of health. Some clients gain a new state of health.
Period of convalescence
What are the 2 groups of infections?
Local, Systemic
The type of infection that is confined to 1 area of the body?
Local infection
What type of infection starts as a local infection and then transmits into the
bloodstream to infect the entire body systems?
Systemic infection
