⩥ Erikson's Psychosocial Theory Older Adults. Answer: Integrity vs.
Despair
People in late adulthood reflect on their lives and feel either a sense of
satisfaction or a sense of failure. People who feel proud of their
accomplishments feel a sense of integrity, and they can look back on
their lives with few regrets.
⩥ Droplet Precautions. Answer: Droplet Precautions:
Use a private room, if available. Door may remain open.
Wear PPE upon entry into the room for all interactions that may involve
contact with the patient and potentially contaminated areas in the
patient's environment.
Transport patient out of room only when necessary and place a surgical
mask on the patient if possible.
Keep visitors 3 ft from the infected person.
⩥ Why are masks beneficial with droplet precautions?. Answer: Masks
help prevent the wearer from inhaling large-particle aerosols, which
usually travel short distances (about 3 ft), and small-particle droplet
, nuclei, which can remain suspended in the air and travel longer
distances. Masks also protect the patient from the respiratory secretions
of the health care worker. Masks discourage the wearer from touching
the eyes, nose, and mouth, thus limiting contact of organisms with
mucous membranes.
⩥ Cough Etiquette. Answer: Any patients, family members, and visitors
with undiagnosed, transmissible respiratory infections require education
to cover their mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing and promptly
dispose of the tissue. During periods of increased occurrence of
respiratory infections, offer a surgical mask to coughing patients and
other symptomatic people upon entry to the health care facility or office.
Encourage the coughing patient to maintain more than a 3-ft separation
from other people in the health care facility or office.
⩥ Factors Affecting Risk for Infection. Answer: Factors affecting the
risk for infection include: integrity of mucous membranes, pH levels of
the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, immune response, age, sex,
race, heredity, level of fatigue, nutritional status, stress level, use of
invasive or indwelling medical devices and immunizations (natural or
acquired)
⩥ Abnormal Wound Drainage. Answer: Purulent drainage is made up of
white blood cells, liquefied dead tissue debris, and both dead and live
bacteria. Purulent drainage is thick, often has a musty or foul odor, and
varies in color (such as dark yellow or green), depending on the
causative organism.
