Patient education:

The use of the educational process to aid individuals, their families, and other significant person when the become dependent on the health care system for diagnosis, treatment or rehabilitation

Teach back

People showing you how it's done and you do it back

Goal 1 of patient or informal caregiver

To obtain accurate information about the patients condition

Goal 2

To develop the ability to make appropriate health decisions

Goal 3

To learn skills and attitudes that foster self-care and appropriate use of health services

Goal 4

1. To improve patients compliance with therapeutic regimen.

Goal 2

To increase the patients satisfaction with health care

Goal 3

Obtain informed consent when necessary

Goal 4

Assessment is

The collection of information to plan and implement teaching.

Planning

Involves construction of an individualized patient program

Implementation

Actual process of teaching

Evaluation

Enables the teacher to determine whether learning had occurred

Common problems (limitations) of the learner

Physical obstacles


Emotional obstacles


Language barriers


Lack of motivation

Patients should understand answers to these questions:

1. What is my main problem?


2. What do I need to do?


3. Why is it important for me to do this?

Health literacy is

The ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health info. And services needed to make appropriate healthcare decisions and follow instruction for treatment

Risk factors of limited literacy:

Elderly, minority ethnic group, English language

Behavior and response that indicate limited literacy:

Noncompliance with medications, disinterested

Six strategies to improve interpersonal communication with patients


First step:

Slow down

Step 2:

Use plain no medical language

Step 3:

Show or draw pictures

Three key steps in teaching pulmonary rehabilitation

Assessing the patients education needs.


Determining how the patient best learns


Selecting the approach or stay the most benefits the patient

Motivational interviewing guiding principles

Resisting the righting reflex

Atmospheric partial pressure (ATPD)

Physical conditions for a given had are ambient temp store and 760 mm Hg without any humidity

Viscosity

Thickness of a substance and affects the resistance or friction of a substance to flow

Relative density

Used to quantify the density of a gas

Critical temperature

Temperature at which a substance no longer can be characterized as either a liquid or a gas

Critical pressure

The pressure required at the critical temperature to chance a gas to liquid at 760mm Hg

Triple point

A substance is the pressure and temperature at which the substance can exist in three phases of matter in equilibrium

Ways to produce oxygen

Photosynthesis, electrolysis of water, fractional distillation of air, and molecular filtration

Colorless, transparent, or fleas to pungent and restless.

Helium

Rare gas naturally occurring in the atmosphere and is colorless, transparent, order less, tasteless, and nonflammable

Heliox

Mixture of helium and oxygen

Nitric oxide

Colorless, tasteless gas with a slight metallic Odor. This nonflammable and non life-supporting gas supports combustion and is toxic

Measuring cylinder contents

The volume of gas in the cylinder is directly proportional to its pressure

Duration flow =

Pressure (psi) X cylinder factors / liter flow

Duration flow =

Pressure (psi) X cylinder factors / liter flow
