Self denial 2. Devotion to hard work and duty. 3. With spiritual calling. Main Guiding Principles 1. Love thy neighbor as thy self. 2. Parable of the Good Samaritan. - Beneficence (doing good to others). 2 Types of Beneficence 1. Ordinary doing good to others. 2. Ideal entails sacrifice. APPRENTICE NURSING PERIOD (6th Century 18th Century) 6TH CENTURY - founding of religious orders. - women practiced nursing. - Daughters of Charity/Sisters of Charity founded by St. Vincent de Paul and Augustinian Sisters. CRUSADES - Men practiced nursing. - Knights of St. Lazarus a. established a standard among hospitals in Europe. b. took care of clients with skin problems like leprosy. - Knights of St. John of Jerusalem a. also known as Knights Hospitalers. b. founded hospitals. 18TH CENTURY 1836 - Theodore Fleidner reestablished order of Deaconesses. - Founded school of nursing in Kaisserwerth, Germany where Florence Nightingale was the most known student. 1854-1856 (CRIMEAN WAR) - Florence Nightingale was known as the Lady with a Lamp. - Compiled the Notes on Nursing: What it is and What is not and became the first nurse theorist.

EDUCATIONAL NURSING PERIOD (18th Century 20th Century) 18TH CENTURY - Florence Nightingale established a nursing school in St. Thomas Hospital in London which adopted the Nightingale System. - Made Florence Nightingale the mother of modern nursing. Philosophy of Nightingale System 1. Government funds should be allotted to nursing education. - earned her the title of being the first nurse political activist. 2. Training schools of nursing should be in close affiliation. 3. Professional nurses should train nurses. 4. Nursing students should be provided with residence near their training hospitals. - written orders of doctors insisted. - nurses should go with doctors during rounds. LATE 20TH CENTURY - Specialization in medicine. - Conceptualization of the role of clinical nurse specialist. - Increase clinical content of education (1900s). CONTEMPORARY PERIOD (21st Century) - Globalization of nursing. - Period after world war II. - Borderless nursing or transcultural nursing. - Professionalization of nursing. PROFESSION a special calling that requires special, skills, knowledge and attitudes. 7 CRITICAL ATTRIBUTES OF PROFESSION 1. Specialized education 2. Code of ethics 3. Research of orientation 4. Autonomy 5. Body of knowledge 6. Service orientation 7. Professional Organization SOCIALIZATION process where a person learns the ways and means or skills, knowledge, attitudes of the group to which he belongs to. BENNER LEVEL OF PROFICIENCY 1. Novice student nurse entering a clinical setting where he has no experience at all. 2. Advance nurse who demonstrates a marginally acceptable performance: depends on rules and maxims. 3. Competent 2 3 years experience demonstrates organizational ability but lacks speed and flexibility of a proficient nurse. 4. Proficient concerned with long term goals, performance is fluid and flexible compared to competent nurse - has a wholistic view of the client. 5. Expert no longer relies on maxims, performance is highly proficient, fluid flexible and has a wholistic view. - has high perceptual acuity or a clinical eye. DIMENSIONS OF NURSING 1. Nursing Practice 2. Nursing Education 3. Nursing Research FOCUS OF NURSING 1. Health Promotion improve clients well being. 2. Health Maintenance 3.

NURSING THEORIES A. GENERAL THEORIES 1. NIGHTINGALES ENVIRONMENTAL THEORY - What nursing has to do is to put the individual in best position for nature to work on him. - Nursing Action: manipulation of elements in the environment to contribute to reparative process. 10 ELEMENTS FOUND IN ENVIRONMENT 1. Air importance to have moving air in room of patient to contribute in proper ventilation. 2. Light patient should be near windows to be able to see sunlight and give hope. 3. Health of houses environmental sanitation. 4. Cleanliness 5. Beddings change linens/beddings in patients room to promote comfort. 6. Nutrition 7. Variety change in environment for patient. 8. Ventilation promote warming. 9. Noise due to nurses clothing or roaming around. 10.

3. MARTHA ROGERS SCIENCE OF UNITARY HUMAN BEINGS A. Nursing is humanistic science B. Parallel with Ludwig von Bertalanffys General System Theory C. 5 assumptions about human beings 1. Man is a unified whole whole not equal to sum of parts. 2. Individual and environment are continuously exchanging matter and energy. 3. Lifecycle evolves irreversibly and uni-directionally along space and time continuum. 4. Life patterns identify individuals. 5. Humans have the capacity for absorption and imagery, language and thought, sensation and emotion. GENERAL SYSTEM THEORY - A set of interacting parts/ components with a boundary that filters the input and output from and to the environment. - Input and output: matter, energy, information. - Whole: physical, psychological, spiritual, intellectual. 4. DOROTHEA OREMS SELF CARE DEFICIT THEORY - Man is an integrated whole, biologically, symbolically and socially. - Man is self reliant and responsible for self care. - Man is requisite for all. - Nursing is a service, art and technology. 3 SUB THEORIES 1. Self Care universal self care, developmental. 2. Self Care Deficit demands, capabilities, deficits. 3. Theory of Nursing Systems wholly compensatory, partly supportive-educative. UNIVERSAL SELF CARE REQUISITES 1. Sufficient intake of air 2. Sufficient intake of water 3. Sufficient intake of food 4. Satisfactory eliminative functions 5. Activity balanced with rest 6. Time spent alone balanced with time spent with others 7. Prevention of danger 8. Being normal DEVELOPMENT OF SELF CARE REQUISITES - Specialized expression of universal self-care requisites for development process. HEATH DEVIATION - Additional demands for health care due to illness, disease or injury. THEORY OF NURSING SYSTEM 1. Wholly compensatory nurse acts for patient. 2. Partly compensatory both nurse and patient. 3. Supportive-Educative patient able to perform self care. B. SYSTEM THEORIES 5. SISTER CALLISTA ROYS ADAPTATION MODEL - Grounded on humanism. - Person is adaptive system with coping mechanism. - Goal of nursing is to promote persons adaptation. STIMULI 1. Focal - immediate 2. Contextual other internal and external factors 3. Residual may or may not have effect like attitudes and beliefs.

COPING MECHANISMS 1. Regulator neural chemical endocrine. 2. Cognator processed through cognition. ADAPTIVE MODES - Physiologic adaptive mode - Self concept mode - Interdependence mode - Role function mode - Adaptive/effective response - Maladaptive/ineffective response 6. IMOGENE KINGS GOAL-ATTAINMENT THEORY - Nursing is a process of human interaction between the nurse, client, each person perceive the other and situation and explore the means to achieve them. - Humans are open systems in constant interaction with their environment. - Nursing focus: human interact with the environment. - Nursing Goal: humanistic maintenance of individuals and groups. - Interacting components are personal, interpersonal, social. - Elements: interaction, communication, transaction role, stress. COMPONENTS PERSONAL SYSTEM - Perception, self, growth and development, image, space, learning time. - Organization, authority, power, status, decision making. 7. BETTY NEUMANS HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS MODEL - Based on 2 components stress, reaction to stress. - Client (individual, group, community) is an open system in interaction with environment. 4 CONCEPTS A. CLIENT Flexible keeps system free from stressor reaction or symptom-matology. Line of Resistance consist of internal defensive processes. Ex. Immune response. B. ENVIRONMENT - Environment has potential to alter system stability due to internal and external stressors. STRESSORS CAN BE 1. Extra personal unemployment, microorganisms, peer pressure, radiation. 2. Inter personal between 2 or more individual (parent expectations). 3. Intra personal anger, physical abilities, financial condition. - Environment can also be source of resources that may help client cope with stressors. C. HEALTH D. NURSING - Primary: protection of normal line of defense. - Secondary: protection of basic structure by strengthening internal line of resistance. Ex. Treatment of symptoms, energy conservation - Tertiary: promotion of reconstitution by supporting existing strengths and resources. 8. DOROTHY JOHNSONS BEHAVIORAL SYSTEMS MODEL Mans subsystem - Behavioral subsystem: addressed by nursing intervention. - Biological subsystem: addressed by medical intervention. Goal of Nursing a. demonstrate behavior commensurate to social demands. b. modify behavior to support biological needs. c. benefit from physicians skill and knowledge. d. demonstrate behavior that does not give evidence of unnecessary trauma. - Nursing focus: behavior modification to foster equilibrium.

C. INTERPERSONAL/CARING THEORIES 9. HILDEGARD PEPLAUS INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP IN NURSING - purpose of nursing is to educate and to be a nurturing force to a patient for him to get a new view of himself. - interaction is a maturing force. Nurse Counselor identify stressor Resource Person health educator Surrogate acts as caregiver Congruent Goals PHASE OF NURSE PATIENT RELATIONSHIP 1. Orientation leveling off between nurse and client in term of expectation. 2. Identification selective response of the client to those who can meet his needs; affected by clients belief. 3. Exploitation client takes control of the situation by extracting help from nurse. 4. Resolution evaluation of care and discharge of client. 10. MADELEINE LEININGERS TRANSCULTURAL CARE THEORY - Culture: way of life, total of all the material and non materials produced by the people at their level of social development. - has universalities: same as other culture (hygiene, nutritional needs). - diversities: cultural peculiarities (caring ). 11. IDA JEAN ORLANDOS DYNAMIC NURSE-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP - Types of nursing response: deliberate action(based on correct identification of patients needs) and automatic action. - nursing function is concerned with providing direct assistance to individuals in whatever setting to avoid, diminish, relieve individuals sense of helplessness. - Nursing disciplined professional response. 12 JEAN WATSONS PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE OF CARING - Nursing is the science of caring. - Caring is more healthogenic than caring. - Main focus of nursing is on curative factors that are derived from humanistic perspectives combined with a scientific base. 10 CARATIVE FACTORS 1. Formation of a humanistic-altruistic value system. 2. Faith hope 3. Cultivation of sensitivity to self and others. (First 3 factors are the foundations for caring) 4. Establishing a helping trust relation 5. Expression of feelings, both positive and negative. 6. Research and systematic problem solving. 7. Promotion of interpersonal teaching-learning. 8. Provisions for a supportive, protective and corrective mental, physical, sociocultural and spiritual environment. 9. Assistance with the gratification of human. 10. Allowance for existential phenomenological factors. D. CLIENT CENTERED THEORIES 13. FAYE GLEN ABDELLAHS 21 NURSING PROBLEMS - Nursing in the use of the problem solving approach - Covert: psychological problem - Overt: obvious (physical manifestations of health problems) Patient (with a need)

14. LYDIA HALLS THEORY OF CORE, CARE, CURE - Patient is composed of 3 elements: body, pathology, person - Nursing is helping clients move in the direction of self awareness - Nursing operates in all 3 elements - Core: the person, therapeutic use of self - Care: the body, intimate body care (nurturing component) - Cure: the disease, medical care (client advocate) 15. MYRA ESTRINE LEVINES FOUR CONSERVATION PRINCIPLES OF NURSING - Promotion of the wholeness of the person - By improving the clients patterns of adaptive response
CONSERVATION OF Energy Structural Integrity Personal Integrity Social Integrity

Promotion of wholeness of the client towards health maintenance or health restoration.

CONSERVATION - Defends wholeness of living systems by ensuring their ability to confront change 16. NOLA J. PENDERS HEALTH PROMOTION MODEL - Directed towards increasing the level of well being and self actualization of a given individual or group - Example: 6 8 hours of sleep - Disease prevention/Health protection: action directed towards decreasing the probability of experiencing illness by active protection of the body against pathological stressors. - Example: BCG vaccination COGNITIVE PERCEPTUAL FACTORS

Priorities maybe altered MASLOWS HEIRARCHY OF NEEDS - Need: anything that is essential to the survival of man - Framework: basic need is something whose - Absence: may cause illness - Presence: prevent illness/signal health - Meeting unmet needs restore health Physiologic - sex, nutrition, shelter, clothing, water, elimination, rest and sleep Safety and Security - physical freedom from harm, psychological knowing what to expect from others and what others expect from you. Love and Belongingness - nurturance with affection Self Esteem - persons sense of achievement and independence, competence, confidence and strength Self Actualization - not all people attain self actualization (attained by only 15%) - Accepts himself - Balance between rest and activity - Open mind - Positive outlook in life HEALTH - Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. WELLNESS - State of well being - Subjective perception of balance, harmony and vitality engaging in attitudes and behaviors that enhance the quality of life and maximizes personal potential.

DIMENSION OF WELLNESS - Physical: ADL, fitness of organ structures and functioning - Spiritual: faith and hope - Intellectual: use knowledge for personal, family, social, career development - Emotional: able to manage stress, express feelings and emotions appropriately - Social: interact successfully with others, tolerant of people with different beliefs MODELS OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS LEAVELL AND CLARKS AGENT HOST ENVIRONMENT MODEL OR ECOLOGICAL MODEL/EPIDEMIOLOGIC Agent

Treatment Models

Neutral Point (no discernable illness or wellness) - Movement to the right of the neutral point indicates high level of health and well being for an individual and this may be achieved through awareness and education and growth. In contrast, movement to the left of the neutral point indicates a progressively decrease state of health HEALTH BELIEF MODEL - Intended to predict whether individuals would or would not use preventive measure - Based on the motivational theory - Assumption: Good health is a motivation common to all people ILLNESS - Highly personal state in which the person feels unhealthy or ill, may or may not be related to disease DISEASE - Alteration in body function resulting in a reduction of capacities or a shortening of the normal lifespan CAUSES OF DISEASE 1. Genetic inherited, genetic defects 2. Developmental resulting to exposure to virus or chemicals during pregnancy 3. Biologic microorganisms (virus, bacteria, protozoa, fungi) and their toxins and helminthes 4. Physical temperature extremes, electricity, radiation 5. Chemical alcohol, strong acid and base, drugs 6. Mechanical generalized tissue response to injury or irritation (trauma shearing force, friction) 7. Physiologic and Emotional reaction to stress 8. Faulty Chemical or Metabolic Processes excessive or insufficient production of hormones, enzymes IGUNS 11 STAGES OF HEALTH SEEKING - Any activity undertaken by a person who feels ill in order to define his state of health and seek a suitable remedy Stage 1: Symptom experience Stage 2: Self treatment or self medication Stage 3: Communication to others Stage 4: Assessment of symptoms Stage 5: Sick-role assumption Characteristics of Sick Role a. Expected to seek competent help b. Expected to get well in the shortest possible time

c. Person is not blamed for his disease d. Exempted from usual task Stage 6: Concern Stage 7: Efficacy of treatment Stage 8: Selection of treatment Stage 9: Treatment Stage 10: Assessment of effectiveness of treatment Stage 11: Recovery and rehabilitation SUCHMANS 5 STAGES OF ILLNESS Stage I: Symptom Experience - Person believes that something is wrong - Physical experience of the symptoms - Cognitive aspect: interpretation of the symptoms - Emotional response: fear or anxiety Stage II: Assumption of Sick Role - People are excused from normal duties and role expectations - Clients are not held responsible for their condition - Clients are obliged to get well and resume normal activity - Clients are obliged to seek competent help Stage III: Medical Care Contact - Seeking medical advice to ask for the following o Validation of real illness o Explanation of symptoms in understandable terms o Reassurance that they will be fine or for a prediction of what the outcome would be - Client may accept or deny diagnosis Stage IV: Dependent Client Role - The client is dependent on the professional for help and give up their independence - Client accepts treatment plan Stage V: recovery or Rehabilitation - Client relinquishes role and resumes former role and responsibilities - For permanent disability, this may require therapy to learn how to make major adjustments in functioning.

CHARACTERISTICS OF NURSING PROCESS 1. Cyclic and dynamic rather than static 2. Client centered nurse organizes plan of care according to client problems rather that nursing goals 3. Interpersonal and collaborative depends on open and meaningful communication between client and the nurse 4. Universally applicable can be used with clients of any age at any point of the wellness illness continuum and useful in a variety of settings 5. Adaptation of problem solving techniques and system theory based on the scientific method 6. It can be viewed as parallel to but separate from the medical process ASSESSMENT - Objective (physical exam) and subjective (nursing history) SOURCES OF DATA 1. Primary client 2. Secondary relatives, members of health team FOR NURSING HISTORY USE GORDONS TYPOLOGY OF 11 FUNCTIONAL PATTERN 1. Health perception health management pattern describes clients perceived pattern of health and well being and how health is managed. 2. Nutritional metabolic pattern describes pattern of food and fluid consumption relative to metabolic need and pattern indicators of local nutrient supply. 3. Elimination describes pattern of excretory function (bowel, bladder and skin). 4. Activity exercise describes pattern of exercise, activity, leisure and recreation 5. Cognitive perceptual describes sensory perceptual and cognitive system 6. Sleep rest describes pattern of sleep, rest and recreation. 7. Self perception self concept self concept pattern and perceptions of self (body comfort, body image, feeling state). 8. Role relationship describes pattern of role engagements and relationships 9. Sexual reproductive client patterns of satisfaction and dissatisfaction with sexuality: describes reproductive pattern 10. Coping stress tolerance general coping pattern and effectiveness of the pattern in terms of stress tolerance. 11. Value belief patterns of values, beliefs (including spiritual) or goals that guide choices of decisions. NURSING DIAGNOSIS - Clinical judgment about an individual, family or community responses to actual and potential health problems - Professional nurses are responsible for making nursing diagnosis. - Nursing diagnosis describe a continuum of health states. Actual Potential Health Problem NURSING DIAGNOSIS - Focus on identifying human responses to health and illness - Describe problems treated by nurses within the scope of independent nursing practice - Changes from day to day as client responses change Healthy Responses

MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS - Identifies disease - Describe problems for which the physician directs the primary treatment - Remains the same for as long as the disease is present

6 TYPES OF NURSING DIAGNOSIS 1. Actual nursing diagnosis judgment about a clients response to a health problem at the time of assessment and is signified by the presence of associated signs and symptoms. Format: 2 part (problem related to etiology) 3 part (problem, etiology and signs and symptoms format)

2. Risk nursing diagnosis clinical judgment about a clients vulnerability to develop a problem Format: 2 part statement (diagnostic label related to risk factors) 3. Possible nursing diagnosis evidence about a certain problem is unclear and need to gather more data to support it Format: 2 part statement 4. Wellness nursing diagnosis clinical judgment about an individual, family and community in transition from a specific level of wellness to a higher level of wellness Format: potential + desired higher level of wellness Readiness for + higher level of wellness 5. Syndrome nursing diagnosis comprises of a cluster of problems Format: 1 part statement (rape trauma syndrome) 6. Alfaros rule for a collaborative problem focus on potential complications Format: potential problem + related to + list of complications that may occur First Priority is any threat to the vital functions of breathing, heart beat, blood pressure. Medium Priority health-threatening problems that may result in delayed development or cause destructive physical or emotional changes. Low Priority problems that arise from normal development needs or those that require minimal nursing support. OBJECTIVES - Should be SMART, client centered, statement of a single human response EVALUATION - Conclusion and supporting data - Goal met - Goal partially met - Goal not met GROWTH - Physical change - Increase in size - Periods of very rapid growth rate: pre natal, neonatal, infancy, adolescence DEVELOPMENT - Increase in complexity of function and skill progression - The behavioral aspect of growth PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT 1 Growth and development are continuous orderly, sequential process influenced by maturational environment and genetic factors 2. All humans follow the same pattern of growth 3. The sequence of each stage is predictable although the time of onset, the length of the stage and the effects of each stage vary with the person. 4. Growth and development occur in cephalocaudal direction. 5. Growth and development occur in a proximal to distal direction 6. Development occurs from simple to complex or from single acts to integrated acts. 7. Development becomes increasingly differentiated, begins with generalized response and progresses to a skilled specific response. 8. The pace of growth and development is asynchronous or uneven.

KOHLBERGS STAGES OF MORAL DEVELOPMENT LEVEL AND STAGE Level I: Pre Conventional (Egocentric Focus) Stage 1 Punishment and obedience orientation - Activity is wrong if one is punished, (toddler 7 years) activity is right if one is not punished. Stage 2 Instrumental Relativist Orientation (4 12 years) - Action is taken to satisfy ones needs. Level II: Conventional (Societal Focus) Stage 3 Interpersonal concordance, good boy, nice girl (6 years thru adult years) Stage 4 Law and order orientation (adolescent adult) Level III: Post Conventional or Principled Level (Universal Focus) Stage 5 Social contract, legalistic orientation (middle age or older adult)

- Action is taken to please another and gain approvals. - Right behavior is obeying the law and follow the rules

- Standard of behavior is based on adhering laws that protect the welfare and rights of others: violating the rights of others is avoided: personal values and opinions are recognized. - Universal moral principles are internalized, person respects other humans and believes that relationship are based on mutual trust.

Stage 6 Universal ethical principles (middles age or older adult)

TYPES OF OLDER ADULT 1. Young old (65 74) adaptation to retirement and changing physical abilities, chronic illness may develop. 2. Middle old (75 84) adaptation to decline in speed of movement, reaction time and sensory abilities: increasing dependence in others. 3. Old old (85 over) increase physical problems.

NURSE CLIENT RELATIONSHIP - Helping relationship for growth PHASES OF NURSE CLIENT RELATIONSHIP Phase I: Pre Interaction - No face-to-face interaction with client Phase II: Introductory/Orientation - Rapport setting, contract setting, sets tone for rest of relationship - Testing behavior (orientation) resisting behavior (non compliance) Phase III: Working - Implementation of nursing care plans - View as unique individuals - Employ decision-making and technical skills and communication skills Phase IV: Termination - Characterized by ambivalence on both nurse and client - Discharge phase - Evaluation of care given by nurse COMMUNICATION - Human function that enables people to relate with each other MODES Verbal spoken language Non-Verbal symbols, sign language ELEMENTS OF COMMUNICATION 1. Stimulus reason why people communicate, motivation with each other (object, ideas, feeling) referent 2. Message idea, feelings and emotions 3. Sender also known as encoder, one that sends the message 4. Channels kinesthetic: tactile stimulus, visual: symbols, auditory: spoken language 5. Receiver decoder 6. Feedback answer to questions, whether receiver understood or not FACTORS THAT AFFECT COMMUNICATION PROCESS 1. Ability of communicator ability to speak, hear, see and comprehend stimulus 2. Perceptions each has a unique trait, values, life experiences 3. Personal space distance people prefer in interactions with one another Four distances a. Intimate - Physical contact to 1 feet characterized by body contact heightened sensation of body heat and smell, low vocalization - Threatening to client b. Personal - 1 feet to 4 feet - Less overwhelming than intimate distance - Usual distance between nurse and client - Best distance c. Social - 4 feet to 12 feet - Communication is non-formal - Allows more activity and movement back and forth - Often misused by nurse d. Public - 12 feet and beyond - Individuality is lost - Mass health education 4. Territoriality concept of space and things that an individual considers as belonging to the self

5. Roles and Relationships 6. Time events that precede and follow interactions 7. Environment environment is comfortable, communication is more effective 8. Attitudes THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION Using silence RATIONALE Accepting pauses or silences without interjecting any verbal response Using statements or questions that a. encourage client to verbalize b. choose a topic of conversation Statements that are specific rather than general and tentative rather than absolute Specify only topic to be discussed and invite answers longer than one or two words Touch reinforces caring feelings, however, nurse should be sensitive to difference in attitudes practice of clients self Actively listening for the clients basic message then repeats those thoughts and/or feelings in similar words. Used when communication is rambling or when paraphrasing is difficult Helping the client clarify an event situation or happening with respect to time Suggesting ones presence, interest or wish to understand the client without making any demands that could make client comply to suggestion A simple and information direct manner, specific factual
