Data Collection III01:05

Data Collection III

The physical assessment examines the patient for objective data that defines the patient's condition, and aids in formulating the nursing care plan. The purpose of physical assessment is a health status appraisal, which includes identifying health problems, and establishing a database for nursing intervention.
The principles to begin the physical assessment include conducting a comprehensive or problem-related history in a quiet, well-lit room, emphasizing privacy and comfort for the patient.
Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.
Hospitals-I01:28

Hospitals-I

Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...
Hospitals-II00:59

Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.
Nurses that work in hospitals have...
Plant Tissues01:18

Plant Tissues

Plants are multicellular eukaryotes with tissue systems made of various cell types that carry out specific functions. Different tissues work together to perform a unique function and form an organ. Organs working together form organ systems. Vascular plants have two distinct organ systems: a shoot system and a root system. The shoot system consists of two portions: the vegetative (non-reproductive) parts of the plant, such as the leaves and the stems, and the reproductive parts of the plant,...

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Area of Science:

  • History of Medicine
  • Botany
  • Horticulture

Background:

  • Edinburgh established its first physic garden in 1656, initiated by the Incorporation of Barbers and Surgeons.
  • Over time, these gardens expanded from simple herb collections to comprehensive botanic gardens, including herbaria for medicinal plant supply.

Observation:

  • The physic gardens served dual purposes: educating medical, surgical, and apothecary students, and advocating for a physicians' college and pharmacopoeia.
  • Notable physicians overseeing the gardens were influential figures in both medicine and botany.

Findings:

  • The gardens' evolution reflects a transition from basic herb cultivation to advanced botanical study and resource provision.
  • Despite bringing fame to Edinburgh, the Town Council was often slow to financially support the botanical initiatives and their pioneers.

Implications:

  • These historic physic gardens laid the groundwork for botanical science and medical education in Edinburgh.
  • The legacy of these gardens is preserved in contemporary institutions like the Sibbald Garden at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
