Common Themes in Definition of Nursing
Nursing is caring.Nursing is an art. (“SKILLS”)Nursing is a science. (“THEORIES”)Nursing is client-centered.Nursing is holistic. Nursing is adaptive. Nursing is a helping profession. Nursing is concerned with health promotion, disease
prevention, and health restoration.
NURSING as a science and an art.
1. Lewis introducing the topic “research” in class.2. Jumbo inserting IV catheter. 3. Gerald washed his hands first before he introduced the NGT because he wanted to maintain aseptic technique. 4. Noel could easily recall all the definitions of nursing. 5. Regina promptly performed CPR after assessing that the patient doesn’t have a pulse and is not breathing.
Nursing as a caring profession
Five Processes of Caring: 1.Knowing 2.Being with 3.Doing for 4.Enabling 5.Maintaining Belief
Caring includes the ffg. factors: Providing presence- “eye contact”’Comforting- “touch” Listening- “attention” Knowing the client- “uniqueness’ Spiritual caring- “transpersonally” Family Care- “participants”
Is Nursing a vocation or a profession?
Characteristics of a Profession
1.Education 2.Theory 3.Service4.Autonomy 5.Code of Ethics 6.Caring
-the most unique characteristic of nursing
“The Nurse is basically a good person”.
Four Virtues from the Practice of Charity1.Justice - being righteous2.Prudence- cautious 3.Fortitude- support 4.Temperance- sacrifice
Exercise: ____1. The nurse encourages the patient to verbalize. ____2. The nurse respects the autonomy of the patient. ____3. The nurse should stand even in unfavorable
conditions. ____4. Before giving the medication, the nurse verified
the dosage to the fellow nurse.
Attributes of Character
1. Thinking of other alternatives. 2. Your boss has put a lot of trust in you because of
this attribute.3. You’re protecting the name of the hospital you’re
working with. 4. You have to control your temper when undesirable
events happen. 5. Informing the client about the medication you’re
about to give. 6. Questioning an unclear doctor’s order. 7. Recognizing others because of a job well done. 8. Delaying your schedule of watching a movie
because of an exam.

MAN -is a biopsychosocial and spiritual being who is in constant contact with the environment. (Roy)
LEVELS OF CLIENTELE I. Individuals II. Families III. Social GroupIV. Communities
HEALTH- a complete state of physical, mental, emotional and social being of a person and not just merely the absence of disease or infirmity. (World Health Organization, 1947)
-From an Old English “heal” which means “whole”

Models of Health
Models of Health
A. Clinical Model hlt practitioners used this model if their focus is
on own relief of s/sx of dse & eliminate pain & malfunction.
If there is less or absence of s/sx & pain health is restored.
B. Role Performance Model People who can fulfil their roles are healthy
even if they appear clinically ill.Assumes in this model that “sickness” is the
inability to perform one’s work.
C. ADAPTIVE MODEL (Sister Callista Roy)
Adaptation – it is the focus of this modelBelief: health is a creative process. Therefore,
disease is a failure in adaptation. (maladaptation)Treatment of a person: aim is to restore person by
ability of a person to adapt, i.e. “to cope”
D. EUDOMONISTIC MODEL it views that in this model, the highest aspiration of
people is fulfilment & complete development which is “actualization”
Illness is viewed as a condition that prevents self-actualization
E. AGENT-HOST-ENVIRONMENT MODEL (Leavell & Clark)
also known as Ecologic Model; model was derived due to the community health work of authors
model is used in predicting illness rather than in promoting wellness

Health and Illness
ASEPSIS and INFECTION CONTROL
Infection- invasion by MOsAsepsis- free from infection Medical Asepsis- clean techniqueSurgical Asepsis- sterile technique Sepsis- presence of infection Carrier- asymptomatic but with
infectionReservoir- habitat Resident flora- normally live on skinSterilization- all MOs are destroyed Disinfectant- remove pathogens on
inanimate objectsAntiseptic- remove pathogens on persons
but doesn’t necessarily destroyBactericidal- destroys bacteria
Cont…Communicable Dse.- infectious agent that can
be transmitted (direct, indirect, vehicle, airborne)
Pathogen- a disease-producing microorganisms
Pathogenicity- ability to cause a diseaseVirulence- the vigor of MOs in which they
can grow and multiply Nosocomial infection- hospital-acquired infection Isolation- separation of persons with
communicable diseaseEtiology- the study of the causes
Stages of Infectious Process
1.Incubation period time 2.Prodromal period non-specific to specific 3.Illness period s/sx4.Convalescent period recovery
Chain of infection
Agent Reservoir Portal of exit
HOST Portal of entry Mode of transmission
Mode of Transmission
1. Contact
a. direct body to body (bathing, feeding etc.)
b. indirect exposure (contaminated objects)
2. Droplet (<3ft.) secretions
3. Airborne (>3ft) fine particles suspended in
air
4. Vectorborne biologic and mechanical
5. Vehicle mediator (food, water, milk, blood etc)
Types of Immunization
Natural Natural
Artificial Artificial
ACTIVE PASSIVE
What type of immunity? 1.Recovery from mumps2.Colostrum 3.Tetanus Immuniglobulin 4.Tetanus Toxoid 5.OPV6.Recovery from Chickenpox
2 Types of Disinfection: a. Concurrent b. Terminal
Handwashing- is the single most important infection control practice.
Soap, water and alcohol are being used. Wash hands before and after every client care
contact. It would be effective with adequate friction. Medical asepsis is done b holding hands lower than
the elbows. Apply friction for 15 to 30 seconds on each hand. Clean under fingernails. Ideally, turn off the faucet with clean paper towel.
Health and Illness
Stress, Adaptation, Homeostasis
“Stress is always a part of the fabric of daily
life”. -hans selye
Adaptation- the adjustments that a person make in different
situations.
Types:1.General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)
a. Stage of Alarm b. Stage of Resistancec. Stage of Exhaustion
2.Local Adaptation Syndrome (LAS)-man may respond to stress through a particular body part or organ. -examples: inflammation, backache, headache, diarrhea
Homeostasis -“homeodynamic”, because of constant change -a state of stability or equilibrium
Sympatho-Adreno-Medullary Responses (SAMR)
Stressors: Physical injury,
dehydration etc.
Hypothalamus
Adrenal Medullla (Norepinephrine and epinephrine)
Inflammatory Response • Rubor • Calor• Tumor• Dolor • Loss of Function
Exudates ◦Serous ◦Serosanguinous◦Sanguinous◦Purulent ◦Mucoid
Healing may be classified as: a. Primary/ First Intention
- clean cut wound b. Second Intention
- wound is extensive and there is a great amount of tissue loss.
c. Tertiary/Third Intention - delayed surgical closure of infected wound
Other responses to tissue injury: 1.Necrosis death of tissues2.Hypertrophy increase in cell size3.Hyperplasia increase in cell number 4.Metaplasia replacement of one mature cell type
with another mature cell type
Nursing Interventions for Clients with Inflammation
1. Promote rest2. Reduce swelling
Position: Elevate partCold and warm compress
3. Relieve pain 4. Increase hydration 5. Adequate nutrition: high calorie, CHON, Vit. C 6. Pharmacotherapy
Analgesic/ antipyretic: Acetaminophen, Paracetamol, Aspirin, Mefenamic acid NSAIDS, SteroidsAntimicrobials
Therapeutic Relationship -directed towards helping a patient heal,
physically and emotionally.
-a professional relationship between a nurse,
physician or therapist and a client.
-Focused on helping the client solve problems
and achieve health-related goals.
-a means for smoothly implementing the five
processes of the nursing process.
-TRUST is the foundation of a positive nurse-
client relationship.
I. Pre-interaction -review medical records-client’s history -speak with other HCP
II. Orientation -perform assessment -formulate patient outcomes-plan interventions-ESTABLISH RAPPORT AND TRUST
III. Working Phase -establish a contract -set limits-discuss the time frame of your relationship
IV. Termination -evaluate the pt.’s progress -review areas that need improvement -discuss any feelings (positive or negative) during termination
Phases of Therapeutic Nurse-Patient Relationship
Stress- is an essential aspect of existence and has always been of human experience; it is something that every one has to cope.
Stress Management
1. Supporting protective mechanism
-rest, massage, relief of pain
2. Exploration of feelings
3. Facilitating problem solving
4. Regular pattern of exercise
5. Relaxation techniques
Advanced Stress Management and Relaxation Techniques
Autogenic trainingVisualization and ImageryAffirmation Meditation Therapeutic touch Massage Yoga Music therapy Anti-anxiety medications

Communication Techniques Communication Techniques
What type of coping mechanism was used?
1.The adolescent decides to take up nursing because she greatly admires her mother who is a nurse.
2.The girl who is not as beautiful as her sisters, studies very hard and she achieves high grades.
3.The teacher who really wants to be the principal of the school states that she wouldn’t take the position if it were offered because it is a lot of work and no commensurate compensation.
4.The father shouts at his children as he arrives home because he was reprimanded by his boss at work.
5.The six year old child thumbsucks as he is confined in the hospital.
6.The nursing student vomits after a very difficult situation. 7.The client with cancer consults other physicians because he
refuses to accept his diagnosis. 8.The student who hates her teacher, frequently tells the teacher
that she admires her teaching.
Documenting- serves a permanent record. Reporting- when two or more people share
information about the client care, either face to face or by telephone.
Purposes: 1.Communication 2.Legal Documentation 3.Research 4.Statistics 5.Education 6.Audit and Quality Assurance 7.Planning Client Care8.Reimbursement
Documenting and Reporting
Types of RecordsA.Source-Oriented Medical Record
(Traditional)- Each department makes notes on the chart.
Five Basic Components 1.Admission Sheet 2.Physician’s Order Sheet3.Medical History 4.Nurses’ Notes 5.Special Records and Reports
(referrals, x-ray, VS, I&O)
B. Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR)
-integrates all data about the problem gathered by the HCP.
-records are recorded and arranged according to the source of information.
Four Basic Components 1.Database- all initial information 2.Problem List3.Plan of care4.Progress notes
(SOAPIE, Flow Sheets, Discharge notes)
Kardex-makes information readily accessible to all
members of the HCP. -series of flip cards-tool for change-of-shift-report (use a pencil
only)
Data included in KARDEX: • Personal data • Basic needs • Allergies • Diagnostic tests• Nursing procedures• Medications and IV therapy, BT • Treatments like oxygen supply, steam inhalation,
suctioning, change of dressing, mechanical ventilation
Characteristics of a Good Recording
1. Brevity (concise and complete)2. Use of ink/ permanence3. Accuracy (chart objective facts)
Incorrect: Ate with poor appetite. Correct: Ate 50% of the food served. Incorrect: DepressedCorrect: Seen crying
*Place quotation marks if it’s a client complain*Objective data (VS, I&O etc.)*Describe behaviors rather than feelings *Refusal of medications and treatments- documented
4. Appropriateness
Cont…
5. Completeness and chronology *Notes should appear on succeeding line.*Date and time are included.*Avoid time changes in the text of other nurses.*Avoid double charting.*Avoid squeezing an information into a space.
The following information should be charted:
1. Physician’s visits 2. Medication- immediately 3. Treatment- immediately
Cont…
6. Use of Standard Terminology (include grammar)7. Signed (Bernard M. Lapuz, SN/ Bernard M. Lapuz, RN)
8. In case of ERROR-draw a horizontal line, write “ERROR”, initials/ signature
9. Confidentiality 10. Legal Awareness11. Legible 12. Do not use the word “patient” or “pt.”; the chart belongs to
the patient. 13. A horizontal line drawn to fill up a partial line
-to prevent others from adding information e.g. Bernard M. Lapuz, RN
Types of Reporting1. Change-of-Shift Report
-endorsement (KARDEX)2. Telephone Reports
a. when the call was madeb. who made the reportc. who was calledd. to whom information was given e. what information was given f. what information was received
3. Telephone orders *ONLY RNs may receive telephone orders*The order must be verified; have a witness if possible*Should be countersigned by the physician within 24 hours
4. Transfer reports- when transferring a pt. to another unit.

1. Body Temperature-balance between heat produced and heat loss in the body.
Types: a.Core- deep tissues (oral and rectal)
b.Surface- skin and subQ (axilla)
Heat regulating center- HYPOTHALAMUS
Factors affecting body’s heat: a. Basal Metabolic rate
*younger-higher the BMR *older- lower the BMR
b. Muscle Activity- exercises increases BMRc. Thyroxine output- increases BMR d. Catecholamines- increases BMRe. Fever
Factors affecting temperature: 1. Age2. Diurnal variation- highest from 8-12MN
lowest from 4-6AM 3. Exercise4. Hormones 5. Stress- Sympathetic stimulation
PROCESSES in HEAT LOSS
1.Application of moist wash-cloth over the skin 2.Exposure of skin towards electric fan 3.Continuous vaporization of moisture from the skin,
oral mucous, respiratory tract4.It feels warm in a crowded area.
Radiation Convection Conduction Evaporation Radiation Convection Conduction Evaporation
Alterations in Body Temperature 1.Pyrexia/ Hyperthermia- above normal 2.Hyperpyrexia- very high, >41C 3.Hypothermia- low temp.
Types of Fever1.Intermittent Fever-fluctuates to normal and
abnormal within 24 hours2.Remittent Fever- fluctuates within 24 hours
of abnormal temperature 3.Relapsing Fever- fluctuates to normal and
abnormal few days in between 4.Constant Fever- remains very high
ORAL Most accessible and convenient to use

Pulse 1. Rate: Newborn 120-180bpm
Adult 60-100bpm *Tachycardia- above 100bpm *Bradycardia- below 60bpm
2. Rhythm- the pattern and intervals of beats. *Dysrhythmia- irregular rhythm
3. Volume- the strength of the pulse. *Normal pulse can be felt with moderate pressure*Full/ bounding- great pressure*Thready pulse- weak
4. Presence/ ansence of bilateral equality* radial, ulnar, femoral etc.

1.Temporal 2.Carotid 3.Apical 4.Brachial 5.Radial 6.Femoral 7.Posterior tibial 8.Popliteal 9.Pedal (Dorsalis Pedis)
Respiration -the act of breathing.
Three processes: 1.Ventilation – movement of gases in and out of lungs2.Diffusion – exchange of gases 3.Pefusion – movement of blood for transport
Two types:a.Costal (thoracic)- movement of chestb.Diaphragmatic (abdominal)- movement of
abdomen
Respiratory centersa.Medulla Oblongata- primary respiratory center b.Pons
*Pneumotaxic- rhythmic quality of breathing *Apneustic- deep prolonged breathing
Assessing Respiration Rate: 12-20 RR/minDepth- observe for movement of chestRhythm- observe for regularity of exhalation and inhalation Quality- respiratory effort and sound of breathing
Terminologies: Eupnea- normal respiration Tachypnea- >20RR/ min Bradypnea- <12RR/ min Hyperventilation- Deep, rapid respiration (alkalosis)Hypoventilation- slow, shallow respiration (acidosis)Dyspnea- DOB Orthopnea- ability to breath only in upright position Apnea- absence of respirations
Blood Pressure - The pressure exerted by blood against the walls of the
arteries
*Systolic Pressure- pressure of blood as a result of contraction of the ventricles
*Diastolic Pressure- pressure when ventricles are at rest.
*Pulse Pressure- difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures (30-40mmHg)
*Hypertension->140/90mmHg
*Hypotension- <90/60mmHg
Determinants of BP 1.Blood Volume 2.Peripheral Resistance (dialte and constrict)3.Elasticity or compliance of blood vessels4.Blood Viscosity
Assessing BP 1.Allow to rest. 2.Sitting or supine3.Left arm is preferred over the right. 4.Snugly fit5.Inflate6.Deflate- “Korotkoff sound’7.If Mercurial, read lower meniscus 8.Prevent “Error of Parallax”
Nursing Health History -gathered through interview
