INTERPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATIVE
CARE 12th EDITION chapter 2 2025
A state of physical well-being, pleasure, and absence of pain or stress - 📌📌-
Comfort
Anticipate pain and emotional stress, collaborate with members of the inter
📌📌
professional team as needed, and implement pain management measures -
- Interventions for patients with decreased comfort
📌📌
The excretion of waste from the body by the gastrointestinal (GI) tract (as feces)
and by the urinary system (as urine) - - Elimation
📌📌
Occurs as a result of food and fluid intake and ends with passage of feces (stool)
or solid waste products from food into the rectum of the colon - - Bowel
elimination
📌📌
Occurs as a result of multiple kidney processes and ends with the passage of
urine through the urinary tract - - Urinary Elimination
Voluntary control of both bowel and urinary elimination - 📌📌- Continence
Lack of bowel or bladder control - 📌📌- Incontinence
inability to expel stool or excrete urine - 📌📌- Retention
Inability to pass stool - 📌📌- Obstipation
Scant urine - 📌📌- Oliguria
absence of urine - 📌📌- Anuria
Risk factors for incontinence include: - 📌📌- Aging (when pelvic muscles
weaken), neurologic disorders, excessive laxative use, other medication use, GI
infections, and lack of exercise
Interventions to prevent changes in elimination include: - 📌📌 - Adequate
nutrition and hydration, diet high in fiber, stay well hydrated, health teaching, and
collaboration with inter professional team
Oranges and potatoes - 📌📌- Foods high in potassium
, 📌📌
Chemicals in the body needed for normal body functioning, especially the heart
and brain - - Electrolytes
📌📌
Risk factors that can alter a person's fluid and electrolyte balance include: -
- Acute illnesses (e.g., vomiting and diarrhea), severe burns, serious injury
or trauma, chronic kidney disease, surgery, poor nutritional intake, and older
adults
Atleast 30mL per hour - 📌📌- What is the minimum hourly urinary output?
📌📌
What are the signs and symptoms of someone experiencing fluid excess
(overload)? - - Increase in blood pressure due to increased blood volume,
peripheral pulses are often strong and bounding and peripheral edema occurs.
📌📌
What are the signs and symptoms of someone experiencing a fluid volume
deficit? - - Hypotension, tachycardia and weak/thready pulses.
What is the best indicator of fluid volume changes in the body? - 📌📌- Changes
in weight
Tests used to measure fluid and electrolyte imbalances include: - 📌📌
- Serum
electrolyte concentration, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum osmolality
Foods that are good sources of potassium include: - 📌📌- Oranges, bananas,
and potatoes
📌📌
What is the primary collaborative intervention for patients with a fluid deficit? -
- Fluid replacement, either orally or parenterally
Interventions for patients experiencing fluid overload include: - 📌📌- Fluid
restriction and diuretic therapy
The process of maintaining optimal blood glucose levels - 📌📌- Glucose
Regulation
📌📌
The process of oxygen transport to the cells and carbon dioxide transport away
from the cells through ventilation and diffusion. - - Gas Exchange
📌📌
As adults age, what loses elasticity causing a decrease in gas exchange? -
- Alveoli
What does adequate ventilation require? - 📌📌 - Normal functioning central
(brain and spinal cord) neurons, normal diaphragm function, adequate skeletal
muscle contractility (especially the intercostal muscles between the ribs), and an
