Phases of Communication
Proximities◦0-18 inches (intimate)◦18-36 inches (personal)◦4-12 ft ( social)◦12-40 ft(public)
Observation (senses) Interview- purposeful conversation
◦Formal- highly structured, questionnaire, limited time, yes or no
◦Informal- rapport building, free flowing, open ended
Methods of data collection
Physical Assessment (IPPA)La and Dx resultRecords review
Nursing Care Models
Total Patient Care- All aspect of one or more patient
care- Continuous care (endorsement)- Shift based focus- Does not necessitate care (same
nurse)
Functional nursing◦Division of task◦Task focused◦Nurses are more competent for repeated actions
◦Absence of hollistic care
Team Nursing◦RN’s lead the team and other assistive personnel
◦Charge nurse◦Coordination of client’s care plan◦collaboration
Limitations of Team Nursing◦Role confusion◦Lack of time of the team leader to client
◦Non-continuity of care
Case Management◦Coordinates and links health care service
to patient and family◦Rn responsible for care from admission
up to following up of discharge◦Group of clinicians- collaborative group
who oversees the management of case◦Case-type-based care
Primary Nursing◦Aim to place RN at bedside and improves professional relationship between staff
◦Assumes caseload of patients◦Designed to maintain continuity of care
A nursing care that focuses on the relationship of the nurse with her client with the same nurse rendering care all throughout the client’s hospitalization.

Positioning
Appendicitis: Any position if unruptured, and semi fowler if ruptured.
Asthma: Sitting position, leaning forward, to promote patient breathing
Autonomic dysreflexia: High fowler. It will prevent patient from hypertension stroke.
Bronchoscopy: Semi Fowler, to prevent aspiration after procedure.
Cast: elevate extremity to prevent edema. Cataract surgery: Semi fowler to prevent
edema at the operative site. Cerebral aneurysm: Semi fowler to promote
venous drainage and decrease ICP Cleft lip: Supine after operation, prevent
pressure on the suture line. Cleft palate: Prone/side lying position for
drainage of mucus and/or blood.
Increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP): Elevate head of the bed.
Mastectomy: Elevate the extremity of the affected side (on pillow) to prevent lymphedema.
Radium implant in the cervix: Flat to prevent dislodge of the implant.
Shock: Modified trendelenburg to promote venous return.
Spinal cord injury: Immobilize the patient
Which of the following is the correct guideline when positioning patients?a. Put pillows above the joint to immobilize itb. Position of the joints should be slightly
extendedc. Joints of the patients are to be supported with
pillowsd. Patients position should be changed at least
three or four times a day
c. Joints of the patients are to be supported with pillows

Principles of Sterility
A. Surgeon- captain
- responsible for decisions to make -Respondeat superior- let the master answer the situation - res ipsa liquitor- let the damage speak for itself - extension doctrine- consent from s.o.
OR TEAM
B. Assistant to the surgeon(intern/MD/surgeon)C. Anesthesiologist (MD/Nurse Anes)- LOC,IO,Blood
loss, O2 Saturation, VSD. Circulatory Nurse- Setup or
- Skin prep- Ensures sterility of the team
E. Scrub Nurse- sets up the field- Assist in draping the patient- Handles sterile equipments- sponge count- after care
Counting◦ Initial- manufacturer◦ Baseline- set up◦ Closing- first closing- peritoneum, final- skin

Techniques
I. Onset/Induction- time anest is induced, loss of consciousness
II. Delirium/Excitement- loss of consciousness, muscles relaxation,breathing pattern
III. Operative/Surgical- generalized muscle relaxation and dep vs
IV. Danger/Recovery- cardiac and respiratory arrest, pupils fixed and dilated
- Increased loc- wearing out from patient’s body
