KEY POINTS IN NURSING DIAGNOSIS


A Prioritized list of nursing diagnosis is on the plan of care. Each nursing diagnosis describes an
actual or risk client health problem that independent nursing intervention can prevent or resolve.
Each nursing diagnosis: Is derived from an accurate and validated interpretation of cluster of
significant client data or “cues” contains a precise problem statement describing what is
unhealthy about the client and what needs to change – suggests client goals. Identifies factors
contributing to the problem (etiology) – these suggest nursing interventions. Uses nonjudgmental
language and is written using legally advisable terms. Old nursing diagnoses are deleted from the
plan of care once resolved and new diagnosis is added as soon identified.

CASES STUDY
1. PAEDIATRIC
Mrs. King brings 2,5 years-old Billy to the pediatrician’s office because he has “been irritable
and feverish since last night”. Further history reveals that Billy also had a runny nose and cough
for two days, and that his appetite and fluid intake have decreased since the fever started. Billy is
otherwise healthy, this is the first episodic illness. His physical examination reveals slight,
irritable, 2,5 years-old girl, pulling at ears, temperature of 102 F, nasal congestion with clear
discharge, tympanic membranes red and bulging bilaterally, pharynx slightly red without
exudates. Chest clear, abdomen soft without hepatosplenomegali (HSM) and no meningeal signs.
The Pediatrician diagnoses an upper respiratory infection (URI) and bilateral otitis media (BOM)
and order amoxicillin 250 mg t.d.s for 10 days. You the office nurse are to perform the parent
teaching for Billy’s home care. During your discussion with Mrs. King she tells you that she is
concerned that Billy is jealous of his new baby sister because he has occasional tantrums when
she holds the baby. She is concerned about Billy’s development because he recently started to
refuse using the potty, a skill that is newly acquired Mrs. King is very attentive to both new baby
and Billy throughout the interview, and she asks you for suggestions in how to help Billy cope to
the new arrival. While doing so, she points out that her husband has been extra attentive to Billy
since his sister was born.

She usually has breakfast at 0630 and takes her morning NPH insulin, 40 units at 0730. Today
she tells you that she has been urinating “a lot” and that she feels like she has had the flu for
about three days, with nay sea and “just a little vomiting”. She says she has not been eating well
but ads, “I’m keeping my blood sugar up by drinking orange juice.” On assessment, you note that
she has soft, sunken eyeball and her tongue is dry and furrowed. Her blood pressure is 104/86
(usual is 150/88), her pulse is 92 and respiration are 22. The temperature is 99.4 F. Her finger
stick blood glucose (FSBG) is 468 mg/dl (usual is 250 – 300). Mrs. Jody refuses to check her
finger stick blood glucose herself. When asked what she did not call the nurse or the doctor when
she became ill, she stated, “I didn’t think it was that serious- “I didn’t have a high temperature”

UNIT 7

ADMISSION TO HOSPITAL

If you plan to go into hospital, it usually involves a doctor or specialist giving you
a referral. Urgent (‘unplanned’) admission to hospital involves a sudden health issue that
needs you to go to an emergency department or call an ambulance. When you get to a public
hospital, you will be asked whether you would like to be a public patient or a private
patient. Ask your doctor about your options so you can make the right choices.
How you are admitted into hospital will vary depending on whether your visit is planned or
unplanned.

Planned admission
If your hospital admission is planned, how you are admitted depends on whether you are
going to a public or private hospital, what kind of treatment you are receiving and how
urgent your treatment is.

Before going into hospital, your doctor will usually give you a referral to see a specialist,
and you will need to contact the specialist clinic and make an appointment. The specialist
will assess you and may send you for further tests to assess your health issue, before
deciding what kind of treatment you require and whether you need to go into hospital for
treatment or surgery. At this stage, you will also be told how long you will have to wait for
treatment.

In public hospitals, your waiting time for elective surgery depends on how urgent your
condition is, which is determined by the specialist who admits you to hospital. In a public
hospital, you may not be able to choose your treating specialist.

In private hospitals, you will generally not have to wait as long for treatment and you can
choose who your doctor is, but there are costs for this type of treatment.

Sometimes, even if you plan to go into a private hospital, the best place for your treatment
may actually be in a public hospital. This is because the public hospital may have the best
equipment, facilities and specialists for a particular health problem or treatment.

Once in hospital, you will stay in a hospital ward. How long you stay in hospital will depend
on the treatment you need. For minor procedures, you may only need to stay for a day, but
for ongoing treatment or major surgery, you will need to stay for longer.

Unplanned (urgent) admission


You may arrive at hospital in your own transport or in an ambulance. This is known as an
‘unplanned presentation’.

If your condition is unexpected and you need urgent treatment, you will be admitted
through the emergency department on arrival at hospital – this is done through a process
known as ‘triage’
ENGLISH FOR NURSING (STIKES NGUDIA HUSADA MADURA) Page 38
A specialist emergency nurse, called the triage nurse, will assess your condition, provide
first aid and work out how quickly you need treatment.

You may be asked to wait in the waiting room. How long you have to wait depends on how
busy the emergency department is at the time and whether there are other patients with
more serious and urgent conditions than you.

Choosing to be a public or private patient


You may choose to be a public or private patient when you go into hospital.

If you are a public patient in a public hospital, there will be no cost for hospital or medical
services. If you are a private patient in a public hospital, you or your health insurance
company will have to pay for some services. Your health service should explain any costs
involved in your care.

Questions to ask before starting hospital treatment


It is important to ask your doctor the right questions about your medical treatment so you
can make informed choices when the time comes to go into hospital.

When you are talking with your doctor, be sure to ask:


 Can I choose my specialist and if so, who will it be?
 Which hospital am I going to?
 How long am I likely to be there?
 What are my treatment options and the benefits and risks of each option?
 What are the likely consequences of not having treatment?
 How long am I likely to have to wait for my treatment?

ENGLISH FOR NURSING (STIKES NGUDIA HUSADA MADURA) Page 39


UNIT 8
CHECKING RANGE OF MOTION

 Definition of Range of Motion

Range of Motion is the measurement of movement around a specific joint or body part. Let's say
a soccer player named Jane has torn a ligament in her knee and is working with a physical
therapist to try and regain her range of motion. Initially, she was rather limited in her movement,
but since performing the stretching exercises regularly, the therapist has confirmed that her range
of motion has been getting closer to her pre-injury level of functioning.

 Types of Range of Motion

There are three primary types of exercises specific to range of motion. Passive range of motion
is typically practiced on a joint that is inactive. The physical therapist may use this exercise on a
client who is paralyzed or unable to mobilize a specific joint. This type of exercise can help
prevent stiffness from occurring. During this exercise the patient does not perform any
movement, while the therapist stretches the patient's soft tissues.

Active-assistive range of motion exercises are more progressive, intended for the client to
perform movement around the joint with some manual assistance from the physical therapist or
from a strap or band. These exercises can often feel painful, and the muscles can feel weak.
Increasing range of motion with these exercises should be a gradual advancement.

Active range of motion exercises are highly independent, performed solely by the client. The
physical therapist's role may be simply to provide verbal cues.

Key facts about the movements in the human body


Flexion Bending
Extension Straightening
Abduction Moving away from the reference axis
Adduction Bringing closer to the reference axis
Protrusion Forward
Retrusion Backward
Elevation Superiorly to the reference axis
Depression Inferiorly to the reference axis

Medial
Rotation toward the midline

Supination Lateral rotation of the radius, resulting in the palm of the hand facing anteriorly

ENGLISH FOR NURSING (STIKES NGUDIA HUSADA MADURA) Page 40


(if in anatomical position) or superiorly (if elbow is flexed)
Circumduction Combination of: flexion, abduction, extension, adduction
Deviation Ulnar and radial abduction of the wrist
Opposition Bringing the thumb in contact to a finger
Reposition Separating the thumb from the digits
Inversion Plantar side toward the medial plane
Eversion Plantar side away from the medial plane

What is a movement?

Without going into complicated physics explanations and equations, movement involves an
entity moving from point A to point B. The movement is carried out around a fixed axis or
fulcrum and has a direction.

1. Flexion/extension

The opposing movements of flexion and extension take place in sagittal directions around
transverse axes. Flexion, or bending, involves decreasing the angle between the two entities
taking part in the movement (bones or body parts).

 Direction: During flexion, the head and neck move anteriorly and downwards (in full
flexion). Essentially, you are looking down. During extension, it moves posteriorly and
slightly downwards.
2. Abduction/adduction

The movements of abduction and adduction are intimately related to the median plane. They both
generally occur in the frontal plane and are happening around an anteroposterior axis.

 Direction: During abduction, you are moving your arm/leg away from the median plane.
During adduction, you are moving them towards the median plane. To picture these
movements, imagine a child jumping and flailing his/her arms very excitedly in order to
grab your attention.
3. Lateral/medial rotation

Rotation happens in the transverse plane around a superoinferior (longitudinal) axis that happens
relative to the median plane. Medial rotation involves bringing the anatomical structure closer to
the median plane, while lateral rotation involves moving it further away.

 Direction: These two movements happen by changing the position the nose is pointing to.
Turning your head laterally corresponds to lateral rotation, while turning it back to look
straight ahead corresponds to medial rotation.

ENGLISH FOR NURSING (STIKES NGUDIA HUSADA MADURA) Page 41


4. Deviation

Deviation is a special type of movement that is restricted to the wrist joint. The movement
happens in a longitudinal plane through the wrist relative to an axis passing from palmar to dorsal
through the wrist. It occurs as follows:

 Direction: Radial deviation involves the movement of the wrist towards the “thumb
side”. Ulnar deviation consists of the moving the wrist towards the side of the little finger
(fifth digit). As the angle between the hand and the forearm are reduced, deviation can be
referred to as radial/ulnar flexion.

5. Pronation/supination

Strictly speaking, pronation and supination are considered as two special types of rotation. They
are restricted to the forearm and involve the radius twisting over the ulna
 Direction: Supination is a lateral rotation of the radius, resulting in the palm of the hand
facing anteriorly (if in anatomical position) or superiorly (if elbow is flexed). In contrast,
pronation is a medial rotation of the radius, with the palm ending in opposite directions
compared to supination. You are supinating and pronating when you hold a bowl of soup
and when you empty it, respectively.

EXERCISE 1.

above!
2. Mention the the meaing and function each part of body that you practice!
