Intro E2 Ch 1 Flashcards
What do nurses prioritize their actions on
Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs
What needs must nurses Take care of first
Physiological needs (like breathing you can do nothing else if you cannot breathe)
food water Sex Sleep Homeostasis Excretion
Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs priorities ( listed most to last)
Physiological safety love/belonging self-esteem self actualization
What is growth and development evident in
Behaviors, every behavior is directional and purposeful for a reason
What is the greatest principle of human behavior
That it is reflective of progressive differentiation and autonomy meaning the more we interact with others the more unique we become
What’s another way to look at progressive differentiation and autonomy
We need to understand others to understand ourselves and vice versa
How are growth and development related
They are interdependent
Define growth
Having a strong genetic component (nature)
Define development
Is influenced by external forces (nurture)
Define susceptibility
Related to the notion of risk, by virtue of your genetic make up, and individuals more vulnerable to environmental exposure.
Particular genetic makeup might be more or less affected by environmental trigger
Define exposure
A condition of displaying, revealing, exhibiting, or making accessible.
Proximity or close contact with a source of disease in a manner that effective transmission may occur
What must we keep in mind in relation to exposure and susceptibility
We can change (exposure) and the things we cannot (susceptibility based on genes) and how they interact to affect our health
Just because susceptibility, doesn’t mean doom. Control of exposure is possible
Characteristics of growth
Increase in size or number
Cephalocaudal: (head and down like fetus) LAST IS TOES !
Proximodistal: (near to far)
I.e: MIDLINE TO EXTREMITIES
Symmetrical: balanced
Sequential: cannot be undone
Asynchronous: not all parts of the body grow at the same rate
I.e: teen feet grow big before long legs
Define cephalocaudal
From head and proceeds down like fetus LAST IS TOES
Define proximodistal
From midline to the extremities
Define symmetrical
Is balanced
Define sequential
It cannot be undone we cannot “ungrow”
Define asynchronous
Not all parts of the body grow at the same rate
