Piaget's stages of
Cognitive Development - ANS ✓Sensorimotor (0 -2): Infants learn about cause
and effect and the permanence of objects. · Preoperational (2 -7): Thinking is
concrete and tangible at the preconceptual stage, and later becomes intuitive.
These children are egocentric. Concrete operational (7 -11): Children develop
the concept of conservation and reasoning becomes inductive.
Formal operational (11 -15): Adolescents develop the ability to use abstract
thought and to develop and test hypotheses.
Tardive dyskinesia - ANS ✓Involuntary movements. May become permanent
or become worse. Treatments include stopping the drug that caused it and in
some cases Botox injections may be effective
"5 rights of delegation" - ANS ✓1. Right task: The nurse determines an
appropriate task to delegate for a specific patient. 2. Right circumstance: The
nurse has considered all relevant information to determine appropriateness of
delegation. ·
3. Right Person: The nurse chooses the right person based on education
and skills to perform the task. ·
4. Right direction: The nurse provides a clear description of the task,

Types of leadership - ANS ✓Autocratic leaders make decisions independently
and strictly enforce rules.
Bureaucratic leaders follow organizational rules exactly and expect others to
do so, as well. Laissez-faire leaders exert little direct control and allow others
to make decisions with little interference.
Participatory leaders present a potential decision and make a final decision
based on input from team members.
Consultative leaders present a decision and welcome input, but rarely change
their decisions. Democratic leaders present a problem and ask the team to
arrive at a solution, although these leaders make the final decision.
Selye's biological theory
of stress and aging - ANS ✓stress is a body response to demands requiring
positive or negative adaptation, characterized by the "generalized adaptation
syndrome," which includes 3 stages: ·
Alarm: Fight or flight response. ·
Resistance: The body mobilizes to resist a threat, focusing on those organs
most involved in an adaptive response. ·
Exhaustion: As the body is weakened and overwhelmed, organs/systems
begin to deteriorate (hypertrophy/atrophy) and can no longer cope with
stress, resulting in stress-related illnesses and eventual death.
Broca's aphasia - ANS ✓Expressive aphasia- left frontal
Wernicke's aphasia - ANS ✓Receptive aphasia- damage to Lt posterior
temporal

Osteopenia - ANS ✓Decrease in bone density
Thalassemia major - ANS ✓Causes anemia
Phenylketonuria (PKU) - ANS ✓Rare inherited disorder that causes an amino
acid called phenylalanine to build up in the body. Treated with strict diet of
avoiding foods high in protein.
Nursing process - ANS ✓Assessment: Collecting data, history, and completing a
physical exam. ·
Diagnosis: Analyzing data, determining needs and problems, and applying a
nursing diagnosis. · Planning: Setting priorities, setting goals and expected
outcomes, and planning interventions and strategies of care. ·
Implementation: Applying interventions/treatments.
Evaluation: Reassessing and auditing.
Phases of nurse/client relationship - ANS ✓Preinteraction Phase
Assessment: gathering information; assessing one's feelings, fears, and
