EBP/Informatics Flashcards
Four concepts (florence)
person, health, enviroment, nursing
Person
A person in this model is a pt who can accumulate their own powers to recover from disease
Ex of person
she referred to a pt as any individual requiring nursing care
Health
a person becomes healthy as a result of natural laws, and it is possible to manipulate enviromental factors to support health.
Ex of health
discussed NOT as the absence of a disease BUT as a result of influencing enviromental factors and accumulating the power a person has to become healthy.
Enviroment
The key component. The enviroment “that promotes health allows the pt to retain their energy, or vital powers for use towards self-healing”
Ex of enviroment
The physical enviroment includes ventilation, cleanliness, warming, light, noise, bedding, and food. There are also social and psychological enviroments.
Nursing
art and science, the modification of an enviroment to assist a pt. According to Nightingale, “ I use the word nursing for want of a better. It is limited to signify little more than the administration of medicines and the application of poulticies.”
Nursing Theory in clinical practice
Open windows/blinds
Place for pt to go outside
Clean up the pts room
Provide good, healthy, nutritious food to pt
Middle of the day, pt take a nap, low noise, no nursing care during that time
Especially at nighttime, minimize noise and light.
