The nurse delegates needed hygiene care for an alert elderly patient who had a
stroke. What interventions would be appropriate for the assistive personnel to
accomplish during the bath? - SOLUTION=providing ROM exercises to
extremities, providing special skin care
what are communicable diseases? - SOLUTION=when an infectious disease can
be transmitted from person to person
what is virulence? - SOLUTION=an organism's ability to produce disease
what are the four stages of infection? - SOLUTION=incubation, prodromal, illness,
and convalescence
what is the incubation period? - SOLUTION=the interval between when a
pathogen first enters the body, and the appearance of the first symptom
what is the prodromal stage? - SOLUTION=interval between nonspecific signs and
symptoms and more specific symptoms, where microorganisms grow and multiply
and disease can be spread
what is the illness stage? - SOLUTION=interval where a patient's symptoms are
specific to their type of infection
what is the convalescence stage? - SOLUTION=interval when acute symptoms of
infection disappear (recovery phase)
,2|Page
what are exogenous infections? - SOLUTION=comes from microorganisms found
outside the body (ex: salmonella, clostridium tetani, aspergillus)
what is an endogenous infection? - SOLUTION=when normal flora is altered and
an overgrowth occurs, can happen with broad-spectrum antibiotics (ex:
staphylococci, enterococci, yeasts, streptococci)
infectious process- incubation period - SOLUTION=the period between exposure
to an infection and the appearance of the first symptoms (asymptomatic period)
infectious process- prodromal stage - SOLUTION=Time interval from the onset of
nonspecific symptoms until specific symptoms of the infectious process begin to
manifest
infectious process- illness stage - SOLUTION=the interval when symptoms
specific to the infection occur (sore throat, pain, and swelling with strep throat)
infectious process- Covalescence - SOLUTION=the gradual recovery of health and
strength after illness
inflammatory response - SOLUTION=vascular and cellular responses and
formation of inflammatory exudates
sites susceptible for HAIs - SOLUTION=-urinary tract (hygiene, catheter, drainage
system)
,3|Page
-surgical/traumatic wounds (improper skin prep before surgery, cleaning surface,
lack of aseptic technique)
-respiratory tract (contaminated equipment, lack of aseptic technique, improper
secretion disposal)
-bloodstream (contamination of IVs, drug additives to IV site, lack of care for
insertion site, contaminated needles/catheters
limited ROM indicates - SOLUTION=inflammation, fluid in the joint, altered
nerve supply, or contractures
increased ROM (more than normal) indicates - SOLUTION=CT disorders,
ligament tears, joint fractures
straight canes - SOLUTION=give support and balance for patients who have mild
balance or strength impairments
quad canes - SOLUTION=good for patients who have unilateral weakness from
neurological injury/disease and need more support
walkers - SOLUTION=four legs; has a wide base of support providing stability
and security while walking; used for patients with lower extremity weakness or
balance problems
What is the proper position to use for an unresponsive patient during oral care to
prevent aspiration? - SOLUTION=sims position or semi fowlers with head to the
side
what should you do with heart dysrhythmia - SOLUTION=assess the apical pulse
, 4|Page
how to find dysrhythmia - SOLUTION=by palpating an interruption in successive
pulse waves or auscultating an interruption between heart sounds. If a dysrhythmia
is present, assess the regularity of its occurrence and auscultate the apical rate
what false reading will show when the BP cuff is too big/loose - SOLUTION=low
BP
what false reading will show when the BP cuff is too small - SOLUTION=high BP
suprainfection - SOLUTION=develops when broad-spectrum antibiotics eliminate
a wide range of normal flora organisms, not just those causing infection
Proprioception - SOLUTION=The ability to tell where one's body is in space.
Healthy People 2020 - SOLUTION=-Attain high-quality, longer lives free of
preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death.
-Achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups.
-Create social and physical environments that promote good health for all.
-Promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all life
stages.
health beliefs - SOLUTION=a person's ideas, convictions, and attitudes about
health and illness
(individuals perception about susceptibility, serious of illness, and if they will take
preventative action)
