Obstructive sleep apnea
Give this one a try later!
, - Cessation or stopping of airflow despite the effort to breath
- The upper airway becomes partially, or completely blocked, and nasal
airflow diminishes (hypopnea) or stops (apnea). The person is still trying to
breath (chest and abdominal movements continue) which results in loud
snoring
- The person then suddenly becomes hypoxic and must awaken to breath
- Disorder characterized by lack of airflow through the nose and mouth for
periods of 10 seconds or longer

occurs in infection, burns, fever, starvation, and trauma
Shared Governance

- a dynamic process that promotes decision making, accountability, and
empowerment in staff nurses and enables them to make meaningful and
sustainable changes in patient care
o Creates an environment in which managers and staff become more
actively involved in making decisions to shape the identity and determine
the success of a healthcare agency.
o It is important for the committees to balance their focus between patient
outcomes and work issues to ensure quality care on the unit.

means that the intake of nitrogen is greater than the output. It is required
for growth, normal pregnancy, maintenance of lean muscle mass and vital
organs, and wound healing
Accountability

Individuals being answerable for their actions. Involves follow-up and a
reflective analysis of decisions and an evaluation of their effectiveness. You
will sometimes delegate responsibility, but you remain accountable for the
care you delegated.
Reason for Endoscopy
Give this one a try later!
Examinations such as a gastroscopy or colonoscopy use a lighted
fiberoptic tube to gain direct visualization of the upper gastrointestinal (GI)
tract (upper endoscopy) or large intestine (colonoscopy). The fiberoptic
tube contains a lens, forceps, and brushes for biopsy. If an endoscopy
identifies a lesion such as a polyp, the polyp can be removed, and a biopsy
will be done. (DIRECT VISUALIZATION)
Interprofessional collaboration
Give this one a try later!
, - involves all professions bringing different points of view to the table to
identify, clarify, and solve complex patient problems together, providing
integrated and cohesive patient care
o is critical to the delivery of quality, safe patient care and the creation of a
positive work culture for practitioners
o The nurse plays a unique role within the team and is often viewed as the
team leader because it is the nurse who takes on the responsibilities of
coordination of communication and patient care
o Open communication, cooperation, trust, mutual respect, and
understanding of team member roles and responsibilities are critical for
successful interprofessional collaboration
Feedback Technique
Give this one a try later!
- Effective communication involves feedback from the sender and receiver.
- An effective educator delivers instruction and then provides a mechanism
(e.g., teach-back) for evaluating the success of a teaching plan by gaining
feedback from the receiver
- If the feedback demonstrates learning, the educator returns feedback in
the form of reinforcement. This type of response reinforces health behavior
and promotes continued self-management.
- You provide feedback both during and at the completion of each
instructional encounter.
