Attributes are defined as: - ANS-The characteristics that define something, color, shape,
size, points, heat or any other sensory word that can describe a thought or item to its fullest
extent.
\Attributes of a Nurse: - ANS-In the case of nursing, the intent to help and awareness of the
patient's situation facilitate therapeutic communication, underpinning concepts of empathy.
Consequences of empathy in nurse-patient relationships could be patient satisfaction and
perception of caring
\Care Competency: - ANS-The ability to provide culturally competent care is especially
important for critical care nurses, who function in high-acuity, high-stress healthcare
environments. ... In today's society, culturally competent care cannot be offered to all
patients unless nurses have a clear understanding of diverse cultural backgrounds.
\Conceptual teaching is: - ANS-Is student-centered.
Is purposeful and active.
Focuses on the concept being explored
Links concepts to examples for content knowledge.
Shows linkages between interrelated concepts.
Allows application of concepts across various clinical environments.
\Define a concept: - ANS-An organizing idea or mental construct as a mental picture that is
represented by common characteristics attributes.
The scope -The extent to which a concept may impact an individual along a continuum.
\Define an exemplar: - ANS-An example or topic that can serve to represent a concept.
Concepts have multiple exemplars representing specific topics or content such as a disease
or diagnosis.
\Discuss how concepts of nursing care are linked to care provision for clients of all ages: -
ANS-As humans we are all born and go through stages infant, toddlerhood, child, teenagers,
adults, middle age and elderly and older elderly. Knowing what is appropriate stage
correspondence and skills are important for nurses to coordinate in accessing concerns for
prevention, care of diagnosis, as well as palliative care to prevent further disease and
distrution of health and well-being. .
\Health and Illness Concept: - ANS-We all live within a continuum / Genome being in our
bodies in which their is a continuum of health and illness and no two people are the same in
their health issues, genetic concerns, and the balance of being able to overcome illness and
regain health. This is why the health field is shifting to a " Patient Centered Model"
\Health Care Concept: - ANS-Health can be defined as physical, mental, and social
wellbeing, and as a resource for living a full life. It refers not only to the absence of disease,
but the ability to recover and bounce back from illness and other problems. Factors for good
health include genetics, the environment, relationships, and education.
