Babinski Reflex

A

Babinski reflex is one of the normal reflexes in infants. Reflexes are responses that occur when the body receives a certain stimulus.

The Babinski reflex occurs after the sole of the foot has been firmly stroked. The big toe then moves upward or toward the top surface of the foot. The other toes fan out.

This reflex is normal in children up to 2 years old. It disappears as the child gets older. It may disappear as early as 12 months.

Piaget: The child is better able to think about things and events that aren't immediately present. She has difficulty conceptualizing time. Her thinking is influenced by fantasy. The child begins to think about death.
Intuitive Thought phase
28
Piaget: As the child learns to talk and communicate with others, he begins to use symbols to represent objects. Early in this stage he also personifies objects.
Preconceptual or Preoperational phase
29
Piaget: The child begins to cooperate and is less egocentric. The child develops the ability to think abstractly and to make rational judgments about concrete or observable phenomena.
Concrete Operations phase
30
Piaget: At this stage the individual is capable of hypothetical and deductive reasoning.
Formal Operations phase
31
Piaget: The child learns about his environment and himself through motor and reflex actions. Thought derives from sensation and movement.

Lysaught Report (1970)
Lysaught Report (1970) prompted research-based education of nurses and research into nursing education. Now the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has funded another watershed study: Educating Nurses: A Call for Radical Transformation (Benner, Sutphen, Leonard, & Day, 2010) finds that, although the U.S. nurse educators are very effective in teaching ethics and professionalism and are often successful when they integrate theory and clinical courses, they are "not generally effective in teaching nursing science, natural sciences, social sciences, technology, and humanities" (p. 12). At each turning point in the history of nursing education, nurse educators, have assessed learning outcomes and the methods used to achieve them with the same critical eyes that they apply to evidence-based clinical nursing practice. Today nurse educators are examining the field's signature pedagogies, like clinical rotations and simulation, and are turning to new approaches, like narrative and problem-based pedagogies or study-abroad experiences.
85
Brown Report (1948)
In one of the seminal reports on nursing education, Esther Lucille Brown (1948) observed that the extant system of nursing education was totally inadequate to meet the needs of society for nursing care. ... The public and professional response to the Brown report was business as usual.May 31, 2002

1. Shock and Disbelief - a stunned/numb feeling; refusal to acknowledge loss 2. Developing Awareness - begins to acknowledge loss; may feel helpless and angry 3. Restitution - conducts rituals of mourning 4. Resolution - preoccupied with the loss and will often idealize the person, object or skill that was lost 5. Recovery - goes on with life while accepting the loss

115
Dry AMD
Dry Age related Macular Degenration light sens cells in macular break down, gradually blurring central vision. Most common type Tx: delay disease, HI Antioxidants and Zinc
116
Wet AMD
abnormal BV behind retina start to grow under macula, damages Tx: may progress despite tx. injections to eye
117
Cataracts
.clouding of lens .related to aging .affects focus of sharp image on retina SS: cloudy/blurry vision, poor night vision, increased glare, change i color values (blue/yellow), halo around light, double vision ``` Risk Factors: .women .exposure to UV light/Hi dose radiation .corticosteroids .phenothiazines .poor controlled DM .trauma to eyes .chemo agents ``` ``` Tx: .new glasses .brighter light .anti-glare sunglasses .magnifying lenses .Sx to remove cloudy lens. replace with artificial ```

119
Retinopathy
any disease of retina Cause: complications vascular disease, uncontrolled HTN, DM, Arteriosclerosis SS: progressive loss of vision Tx: treat underlying cause, stringent glucose control most effective for preventing /limiting disease.
120
4 stages of Diabetic Retinopathy
Mild nonproliferative retinopathy: At this earliest stage, microaneurysms occur. They are small areas of balloon-like swelling in the tiny blood vessels of the retina. Moderate nonproliferative retinopathy: As the disease progresses, some blood vessels that nourish the retina are blocked. Severe nonproliferative retinopathy: Many more blood vessels are blocked, depriving several areas of the retina of their blood supply. These areas of the retina send signals to the body to grow new blood vessels for nourishment. Proliferative retinopathy: At this advanced stage, the signals sent by the retina for nourishment trigger the growth of new blood vessels. This condition is called proliferative retinopathy. These new blood vessels are abnormal and fragile. They grow along the retina and along the surface of the clear, vitreous gel that fills the inside of the eye. (See diagram above.) By themselves, these blood vessels do not cause symptoms or vision loss. However, they have thin, fragile walls. If they leak blood, severe vision loss and even blindness can occur.
121
Glaucoma
group of eye conditions lead to damage of optic nerve Cause: increased intraocular pressure (IOP) NORMAL:10-21mm Hg .IOP fluctuations w time of day, exertion, meds, diet .IOP increase w blinking, tight lid squeeze, upward gaze .Incrased IOP damages optic nerve by damaging retinal layer as it passes thru optic nerve head
122
4 types of Glaucoma
.Open-Angle .angle-closure .congenital .secondary
123
Stages of Glaucoma
. Initiating events (long term use corticosteroids, congenital narrow angles, use of mydriatics .Structural Alterations in aqueous outflow system .Fx alteration, increased IOP or impaired blood flow .Optic Nerve Damage, atrophy of optic nerve .Vision Loss
124
Open-Angle Glaucoma
``` .chronic .most common cause .IOP pressure up over time .SS: -non until loss of peripheral vision begins -halos around lights Late SS: -central blindness ``` Tx: eye drops, BP meds to lower.
125
Angle-Closure Glaucoma
.acute .w aqueous humour fluid is suddenly blocked .quick, severe, painful rise in IOP SS: sever pain, cloudy, colored halos around lights, N/V, decreased vision, enlarged fixed pupils, red eye Permanent Blindness if IOP elevated for 24-48hrs Tx: drops, pills, IV meds to lower pressure, iridotomy
126
Congenical Glaucoma
.hereditary (at birth) .SS: cloudiness on front of eye, excessive tearing, enlarged eye Tx: Sx to open outflow channels of the angle
127
Secondary Glaucoma
Causes: some drugs, other eye diseases, some systemic disease.
128
Glaucoma meds
``` Miotics: Pilocarpine, Carbachol ◦ Constrict pupil Cholinesterase Inhibitors: Humorsol, Eserine lowers intraocular pressure Beta Adrenergic Antagonists: Timoptic decrease intraocular pressure Carbonic Anhydrace Inhibitors: Diamox decrease aqueous humour production ```
