Diseases/problems associated with obesity » Obesity: major international public health problem affecting children and adults Associated with: o Osteoarthritis o Low back pain o Osteoporosis o Gait disturbances o Soft tissue problems 5. Effects of older adult’s changing gait on fall risk » Take smaller steps and keep feet closer together, which decreases base of support and alters body balance and increases risks for falls Ex. The nurse is caring for an older adult in a long-term care setting. The nurse reviews the medical record to find that the patient has progressive loss of total bone mass. The patient’s history and tendency to take smaller steps with feet kept closer together will most likely result in which of the following? A) Increase the parent’s risk for falls and injuries B) Result in less stress on the patient’s joints C) Decrease the amount of work required for patient movement D) Allow for mobility in spite of aging effects on the patients joint 6. Factors that influence activity and exercise (cultural background) Bible: Fundies Final!
Cultural background: there are cultural differences regarding the extent to which people exercise Individuals with lower level of education and minority racial/ethnic groups tend to have higher levels of physical activity at work but lower levels of non- work physical activity Difference may limit positive effects of physical activity on an individual’s health because nonwork physical activity has a stronger positive association with health relative to work physical activity Consider education regarding value of exercise and learn what motivates individuals to exercise and what activities are appropriate and enjoyable 7. P ossible causes of loss of bone mass in the older adult o Physical inactivity o Hormonal changes o Increased osteoclastic activity (i.e., activity by cells responsible for bone tissue absorption) 8. Effect of bone loss in the older adult o Weaker bones o Causing vertebrae to be softer and long shaft bones to be less resistant to bending o Making an individual prone to fractures and muscle injuries 9. Aerobic activity effects on diabetes o Diabetes mellitus: moderate to high volumes of aerobic activity have been found to be associated with lower cardiovascular and overall mortality risks in type 1 and type 2 diabetes o Aerobic training increases cardiorespiratory fitness, decreases insulin resistance, and improves lipid levels and endothelial function 10. Orthostatic hypotension (S/S) § Dizziness § Light-headedness § Nausea § Tachycardia § Pallor § Fainting 11. Socioeconomic factors to consider in the assessment o Assess resources and access to facilities or public areas/parks o Assess hours of work o Assess social support o Educational level o Income o Ability to pay for fees/equipment
Chapter 48 12. Pressure injury stages o Stage 1: Non-blanchable erythema of intact skin o Stage 2: Partial-thickness skin loss with exposed dermis o Stage 3: Full-thickness skin loss o Stage 4: Full-thickness skin and tissue loss (Pressure Injury) 13. Primary , secondary, and tertiary intention o Primary intention – wound that is closed. o Secondary intention – wound edges not approximated. o Tertiary intention – wound that is left open for several days, then wound edges are approximated 14.Wound repair Homeostasis – injured blood vessels constrict, and platelets gather to stop bleeding. Clots form to provide cellular repair. Inflammatory phase – cells secrete histamine, resulting in vasodilation of surrounding capillaries and migrate serum and white blood cells into the damaged tissue. Proliferative phase – this phase can last 3 to 24 days while new vessels are being reconstructed. The wound fills with granulation tissue, wound contraction, and wound resurfacing by epithelialization. Maturation – it is the final stage of healing. I could sometimes take more than a year, depending on the depth and extent of the wound. 15. Complications of wound healing » Hemorrhage – extensive bleeding from a wound site » Infection – second most common health care associated infection. Microorganisms invade the wound tissue. » Dehiscence – when an incision fails to heal properly, the layer of the skin and tissue separate. I.e., c-section and other abdominal surgeries. This can happen after a certain strain such as coughing, vomiting, or siting up in bed. » Evisceration – total separation of wound layers occurs, and protrusion of visceral organs are exposed through a wound opening. 16. Factors influencing pressure injury formation and wound healing § Nutrition § Tissue perfusion § Infection § Age § Psychosocial impact of wounds 17. Bony prominences most frequently affected

18. Nursing diagnoses for pressure injuries o Impaired Skin Integrity o Risk for Impaired Skin Integrity o Risk for Infection o Acute or Chronic Pain o Impaired Mobility o Impaired Peripheral Tissue Perfusion 19. Benefits of Vitamin C for wounds » Nutritional status – nutritional support is very important for wound healing and tissue repair. They need calories and protein to help replace subcutaneous tissue. Vit C promotes collagen synthesis, capillary wall integrity, and improve immunological function. 20. Patients that need more frequent skin assessment o Neurological impaired o Chronically ill o Long-term care o ICU Chapter 50 21. Surgical risk factors » Smoking : higher risk for developing pneumonia, atelectasis, and delayed wound healing o Increases risk of aspiration » Obesity : increased risk for atelectasis, pneumonia, and death o Risk for impaired mobility = increased risk for VTE o Increased risk for wound infection, blood loss, pressure injuries, dehiscence, and evisceration 22. Effects of glucose control » Poor glucose control increases risk for wound infection and mortality Bony prominences most frequently underlying pressure injury
23. Responsibilities of the PCU nurse o Inserts IV catheter (if not already present) o Administers preoperative medications o Monitors vital signs o Inserts catheter 24. Intrinsic vs. extrinsic factors 25. Acute care postoperative recovery and convalescence implementation » Maintaining respiratory function : positioning; I/S; early ambulation allows chest wall expansion and stimulates increased RR (also increases peristalsis) » Maintaining neurological function : deep breathing and coughing for retained anesthetic gases; monitor LOC » Promoting normal gastrointestinal function and adequate nutrition o Progressive diet after surgery o Promote ambulation and exercise = increased peristalsis and promotes return of bowel function o Maintain adequate fluid intake 26.

Early and late signs of malignant hyperthermia » Early signs : tachypnea, tachycardia, heart arrhythmias, hyperkalemia, hypercarbia (high co2), and muscular rigidity » Late signs : elevated temperature, myoglobinuria, and multiple organ failure » First S/S occur in OR » May occur in early pos—op period Intrinsic risks : (inside body) o Altered nutrition o Decreased mobility o Older age o Decreased mental status o Infection o Incontinence o Impaired sensory perception o Co-morbidities such as diabetes, OR risk factors: o Length of surgery o Position on OR table o Positioning devices used o Warming devices o Anesthetic agents o Intraoperative hemodynamics o Length of time on OR Extrinsic risks: (outside) o Temperature o Friction o Shearing forces o Moisture
28. Interventions to promote bowel function post-op » Early ambulation 29. Review of emotional health » Review of emotional health: surgery is psychologically stressful and can create anxiety o Self-concept o Body image o Coping resources 30. Minimizing risk for surgical wound infection » Minimizing risk for surgical wound infection o Antibiotics o Skin antisepsis o Clipping instead of shaving hair Chapter 14 31. Ageism » Undermines the self-confidence of older adults, limits their access to care, and distorts caregivers’ understanding of the uniqueness of each older adult. » Nurses should promote positive perception regarding the aging process when establishing therapeutic relationships and value the experiences of older adults. 32.
