secondary- lost the ability

24
Q

*Functional Status Scale (FSS)

A

used for Hospitalized children who severely impaired. used for a small number of activity limitations (motor function and eating) and is designed for use by trained professionals

25
* (FASE)
Functional Assessment Screening in the Elderly adults: functional disability, can be used on a time schedule to id progression of deterioration
26
Minimum Data Set (MDS) for Nursing Facility Resident Assessment and Care Screening
Nursing home residents
27
(MMSE)
Folstein Mini-Mental Status Examination Older adults- cognitive function
28
*NGAGED
NGAGED (Now, Growth & Development, Activities of Daily Living, General Health, Environment, and Documentation)Children ages 2-12 with physical disabilities: assesses engagement in life activities: personal, family, social, and school parameters
29
*Dartmouth COOP Functional Health Assessment Charts
Dartmouth COOP Functional Health Assessment Charts - Adults & Adolescent: comprehensive functional and social health test for making a brief, practical and valid method to assess the functional status of adults and adolescents. the system was developed by Dartmouth co-op project.
30
Concepts representing major influencing factors and hence determinants of functional ability are
Development, Cognition, and Culture
31
``` The nurse is participating at a health fair at the local mall giving influenza vaccines to senior citizens. What level of prevention is the nurse practicing? A. Primary prevention B. Secondary prevention C. Tertiary prevention D. Quaternary prevention ```
Primary prevention is aimed at health promotion and includes health-education programs, immunizations, and physical and nutritional fitness activities. It can be provided to an individual and includes activities that focus on maintaining or improving the general health of individuals, families, and communities. It also includes specific protection such as immunization for influenza
32
``` A patient experienced a myocardial infarction 4 weeks ago and is currently participating in the daily cardiac rehabilitation sessions at the local fitness center. In what level of prevention is the patient participating? A. Primary prevention B. Secondary prevention C. Tertiary prevention D. Quaternary prevention ```
Tertiary prevention involves minimizing the effects of long-term disease or disability by interventions directed at preventing complications and deterioration following the myocardial infarction. Tertiary-prevention activities are directed at rehabilitation rather than diagnosis and treatment. Care at this level aims to help patients achieve as high a level of functioning as possible, despite the limitations caused by illness or impairment. This level of care is called preventive care because it involves preventing further disability or reduced functioning
33
Which activity represents secondary prevention? A. A home health care nurse visits a patient's home to change a wound dressing. B. A 50-year-old woman with no history of disease attends the local health fair and has her blood pressure checked. C. The school health nurse provides a program to the first-year students on healthy eating. D. The patient attends cardiac rehabilitation sessions weekly.
Secondary prevention focuses on individuals who are experiencing health problems or illnesses and who are at risk for developing complications or worsening conditions. The home health nurse changing the wound dressing is an activity that is focused on preventing complications. Much of the nursing care related to secondary prevention is delivered in homes, hospitals, or skilled nursing facilities.
34
Self-report tools
Provide information about the client's perception of functional ability
35
performance-based tools
Actual observation of a standardized task, completion of which is judged by objective criteria. preferred tool because they avoid potential for inaccurate measurement inherent in self-report.
36
Which factors are associated with maintenance of high-level functional ability?
Well-balanced nutrition, physical activity, routine health checkups, stress management, regular participation in meaningful activity, and avoidance of tobacco and other substances associated with abuse
37
Comprehensive assessment of functional ability in older adults is indicated when the individual has demonstrated what actions?
A loss of functional ability; has experienced a change in mental status; has multiple health conditions; or is a frail elderly person living in the community
38
What are the two basic types of assessment tools?
Self-report and performance-based
39
In long-term care services, functional impairment are defined as?
Needing assistance with a minimum of two or three ADLs
40
What are the 3 major dimensions a nurse is concerned relative to an individual's functional ability?
1. risk recognition 2. functional assessment 3. care delivery- planning and delivery of individualized care appropriate to level of functional ability.
41
Key issues that affect function?
IMPACT: Impairment ,Memory, Physical, Access, Clarity, Time
42
*KATZ index of Independence in activities of daily living
instrument to assess functional status as a measurement of the client's ability to perform activities of daily living independently. clinicians use to detect problems and plan care- ranks ability to bath, dress, toilet, transfer, continence and feeding- usually for older adults
43
First thing to asses- self care deficit/functional ability
teeth- closest thing to your brain, eating, hygiene, weapons, then nails- weapons/ safety
44
CVA (stroke)
Assess with FAST: face (can smile?).Arms (can lift to sides?), Speech, Time is of the essence. brain attack when blood to brain is cut off. abilities performed by part of brain died is lost
45
hemorrhagic stroke
a brain aneurism burst or weakened blood vessel leak (hemorrhagic) is one of 2 types of stroke. less common more deadly
46
ischemic stroke
blood vessel carrying blood to brain is blocked by a clot (ischemic)
47
downs
trisomy 21, associated with physical growth delay, facial features and mild to moderate mental disability
48
Multiple Sclerosis
progressive immune related demyelination disease of the CNS. process: destruction of the fatty and protein material that surrounds nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. results in impaired nerve transmission. is unpredictable, often disabling disease of the CNS that disrupts the flow of info within the brain and btwn brain and body
49
Parkinson's Disease (PD)
is a neurodegenerative brain disorder that progresses slowly in most people. most people's symptoms take yrs to develop, and they live for yrs with the disease. brain slowly stops sinement (med for) producing a neurotransmitter called dopamine with less and less ability to regulate their movements, body and emotions.
50
social domain
encompasses the attitudes, orientations, or behaviors which take the interests, intentions or needs of others into account. one personalizes and customizes the interactions within one's social area
51
psychosocial domain
happens from psychosocial development which changes is in one's emotions, personality and social relationships. therefore this domain relates to the person's mental development.
52
Mild Alzheimers
loss of recent memory, disorientation to date and time, flat affect, lack of spontaneity, impaired abstraction, cognition and judgment
53
moderate alzheimers
agitation, impaired ability to recognize close family and friends, loss of remote memory, confusion, apraxia, agnosia, alexia (inability to do simple tasks)mobility rigid and slow
54
severe alzheimers
inability to do self care, incontinence, immobility, limb rigidity, flexor posturing
55
what is important to assess regularly in an Alzheimers patient
cognition- mini mental state examination (MME) | functional capacity- physical self maintenance scale PSMS
56
warning signs of a stroke
sudden numbness, weakness, paralysis of the face, arm, or leg especially on one side of the body. sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding. slurred speech. sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes. sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination. sudden, severe headache with no known cause(hemorrhagic)
57
adaptive utensils
devices for eating and feeding that have been modified to accommodate some type of disability.
