OT Process, Ethics, Professional Standards & Responsibilities, Standars of Practice (CHs 3-4) Flashcards
The comprehensive process of obtaining and interpreting the data necessary to understand the individual, system, or situation. Includes occupational profile
Evaluation
Always same assessment content, administration, and scoring. Has established norms and validity. Has exact wording for direction giving.
Standardization
Combine major features of universal precautions and body substance isolation
Standard Precautions
Alcohol-based hand rubs have poor tolerance against what?
Spores (ex: C Diff), so wash hands using soap and water instead
Refers to transmission of infectious diseases through objects
Fomite transmission
3 categories of transmission-based precautions
Contact, droplet, airborne
Precautions employed if transmission can occur through direct client contact or through items in environment.
Contact Precautions
What are the contact precautions?
Isolation room, gloves, wash hands after, gown if clothes will have contact with client, use single-use equipment
Examples of diagnoses requiring contact precautions
MRSA, diarrhea, open wound
Precautions employed if transmission can occur through large particle droplets that can be generated by client during sneezing, coughing, talking
Droplet Precautions
Examples of droplet precautions
Mumps, rubella, pertusis, influenza
What are the droplet precautions?
Isolation room, respiratory protection (mask), gown and gloves advised
Precautions employed if client is known to suspected to be infected with serious illness transmitted by airborne droplet nuclei (small particle residue) that remain in air and can be widely dispersed by air
Airborne Precautions
Examples of diagnoses requiring airborne precautions
TB, measles, chickenpox
What are the airborne precautions?
Respiratory isolation room, respiratory protection (mask), gown and gloved advised
Does the tool measure what it was intended to measure?
Validity
3 types of validity
Face, content, criterion (concurrent, predictive)
Degree to which a procedure/assessment appears effective in terms of its stated aims. How well does the assessment appear to meet the stated purpose?
Face validity
Does the content in the evaluation represent the content that can be measured?
Content validity
Compares assessment tool to one that has already has established validity
Criterion validity
2 types of criterion validity
Concurrent and predictive validity
Compares the results of 2 instruments given at about the same time
Concurrent validity
Compares the degree to which an instrument can predict performance on a future criterion
Predictive validity
Establishes the consistency and stability of an evaluation
Reliability
Establishes same results will be obtained when given twice by the same administer
Test-retest reliability
Evaluation tool that attains client’s goals for intervention and measures to what degree goals are met and intervention outcomes after a specific time period. Uses interviews and rating scales during initial sessions to facilitate client’s participation in goal setting process by identifying intervention outcomes that are personally relevant.
Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS)
The reduction of the incidence or occurrence of a disease or disorder within a population that is currently well or considered to be potentially at risk. Goal is to promote wellness and maintain health.
Primary prevention
Early detection of problems in a population at risk to reduce the duration of a disorder/disease and/or minimize its effects through early detection/diagnosis, early appropriate referral, and early/effective intervention.
Secondary prevention
The elimination or reduction of the impact of dysfunction on an individual
Tertiary prevention
Goal directed tasks and behaviors that make up occupations. Doing processes that are directed toward a desired and intended outcome and require energy and thought to engage in an complete
Purposeful activity
Unconscious response to an individual that is similar to the way one has responded to a significant person
Transference
Individual responds in a manner that is expects and desired by the person who has a transference toward him/her
Countertransference
7 stages of group development
Origin, orientation, intermediate, conflict, cohesion, maturation, termination
Phase of group development in which the leader composes the group protocol and begins planning for the group
Origin phase
Phase of group development in which members learn what the group is about and make a preliminary commitment to the group
Orientation phase
Phase of group development in which interpersonal bonds and group norms are developed, specialized member roles, clarification of group’s purpose
Intermediate phase
Phase of group development in which members challenge group’s structure, purpose, processes, characterized by dissension and disagreements among members
Conflict phase
Phase of group development in which the group has a clearer sense of purpose after conflict, reaffirmation of group norms and values, increased group stability
Cohesion phase
Phase of group development in which members use skills to be productive and achieve group’s goals
Maturation phase
Phase of group development in which the group ends due to lack of engagement, inability to resolve conflict, administrative skills, goal attainment
Termination phase
Type of leadership in which the therapist is responsible for planning and structuring of what takes place in the group, use when member’s cognitive, social, verbal skills and engagement are limited, give clear verbal instructions and demonstrations
Directive leadership
What is the goal in directive leadership?
Task attainment
Type of leadership in which therapist shares responsibility for group and group process with members, use when members’ skill levels and engagement are moderate, collaboration with members to select group activities
Facilitative leadership
What is the goal of facilitative leadership?
Members acquire skills through experience
