Concepts Flashcards
Nursing practice create sanitary conditions for patients to get care
Environmental Theory
the act of utilizing the patient’s environment to assist him in his recovery
Environmental Theory
nurse’s initiative to configure environmental settings
Environmental Theory
appropriate for the gradual restoration of the patient’s health
Environmental Theory
external factors associated with the
patient’s surroundings affect the life
Environmental Theory
badly constructed houses do for the healthy what badly constructed hospitals do for sick; cleanliness outside the house affected the inside
Health of Houses
keep the air he breathes as pure as the external air, without chilling him
Ventilation and Warmth
direct sunlight
Light

Nursing needs theory
has interrelated the concepts of health, nursing problems, and problem-solving
typology of 21 nursing problems
used Henderson’s 14 basic human needs
faye abdellah
considered to be a human needs theory
21 nursing problems
needs of an individual patient to maintain good hygiene and physical comfort; promote optimal health through healthy activities
Basic Needs
maintenance of a supply of oxygen to all body cells;
Sustenal Care Needs
to identify and accept positive and negative expressions, feelings, and reactions;
Remedial care needs
include the acceptance of the optimum possible goas in light limitatons, both physical and emotional; the use of community resources as an aid to resolving problems that arise from illness
Restorative care needs
Focuses on individual’s ability to perform self- care,
Self-care Deficit Nursing Theory
represents a caring approach that uses experiential and specialized knowledge (Science) to design and produce nursing care (Art)
SCDNT
the performance or practice of activities that individuals initiate and perform on their own behalf to maintain life, health, and well-being
Self-Care
the human’s ability or power to engage in self-care and is affected by basic conditioning factors
Self Care Agency
totally of “self-care actions to be perfumed for some duration in order to meet known self-care requisites by using valid methods and related sets of actions and operations
Therapeutic Self- care demand
complex property or attribute of people educated and trained as nurses that enables them to act, to know, and to help others meet their therapeutic self-care demands by exercising or developing their own self-care agency
Nursing Agency
actions directed towards provision of self-care
Self-Care requisites
associated with life processes and maintenance of the integrity of human structure and functioning
universal self-care requisite
care that is provide to a person who, because of age or related factors is unable to perform the self-care needed to maintain life
Dependent Care
acquired ability of a person to know and meet the therapeutic self-care demand of the dependent person and/or regulate the development and exercise of the dependent’s self-care agency
Dependent- care agency
relationship that exists when the dependent-care provider’s agency is not adequate to meet the therapeutic self-care demand of the person receiving dependent-care
Dependent-care deficit
summation of care measures at a specific point in time or over a duration of time for meeting the dependent’s therapeutic, self-care demand when his/her self-care agency is not adequate or operation
Dependent care demand
relationship between an individual’s therapeutic self-care demand and his or her powers of self-care agency in which the constituent-developed self- care capabilities within self-care agency
Theory of Self-care deficit
inoperable or inadequate for knowing and meeting some or all components
of the existent or projected therapeutic self-care demand
theory of self-care deficit
theory of nursing system the patient is dependent
Wholly Compensatory System
TNS the patient can meet some needs
- needs nursing assistance
- both the nurse and the patient
engage in meeting self-care needs
Partially Compensatory System
the patient can meet self-care requisites, but needs assistance with decision making or knowledge and skills to lean self-care
Supportive-educative System
focuses attention on the response of the client system to actual or potential environmental stressors and the use of primary, secondary, and tertiary nursing prevention interventions for retention, attainment, and maintenance of optimal client system wellness
Neuman System Model
Based on the general systems theory
Neuman System Model
a boundary for a single client, a group, or even a number of groups
system
views the client as an open system that responds to stressors in the environment
neuman systems model
are those that occur within the client system boundary and correlate with the internal environment
Intrapersonal Stressors
occur outside the client system boundary, are proximal to the system and impact the system
Interpersonal stressors
also occur outside the client system boundaries but are at a greater distance from the system than are interpersonal stressors
External stressors
a process of energy depletion and disorganization moving the system illness or possible death
Entropy
an energy conservation process that increases organization and complexity, moving the system toward stability or a higher degree of wellness
Negentropy
the matter energy, and information exchanged between the client and environment entering or leaving the system at any point in time
Input/Output
treatment of stressor reaction, the return and maintenance of system stability may result in a higher or lower wellness level
Reconstitution
a state of balance or harmony requiring energy exchanges as the client adequately copes with stressors to retain, attain, or maintain an optimal health level, thus preserving system integrity
Stability
a system in which there is a continuous flow of input and process, output, and feedback
open system
a system of organized complexity, where all elements are in interaction
open systems
central core
- system variables, genetic features,
and strengths and weaknesses of the system parts
basic structure and energy resources
