Healthcare Agencies II01:17

Healthcare Agencies II

There are various healthcare agencies in the United States—some of which are managed by religious institutions and others by different government branches.
Parish nursing is a growing specialty nursing profession that focuses on holistic healthcare, health promotion, and illness prevention. It blends professional nursing practice with a health ministry, focusing on health and healing within the context of a Christian community. Parish nurses serve as health educators, referral sources, and lay...
Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract I: Health History01:28

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract I: Health History

Physical assessment of the respiratory tract is critical to patient care. It allows healthcare professionals to identify and manage various respiratory conditions. The process involves a combination of subjective and objective data collection.
Subjective Data
Subjective data provides vital information about the patient's health history and symptoms. This data is typically collected through interviews in which patients describe their experiences, symptoms, and concerns.
Health history and key...
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.
Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data01:23

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data

A thorough health history and physical assessment are essential for identifying cardiovascular disease (CVD) symptoms and distinguishing them from other health issues.
Initial Enquiry
Ask the patient about their primary concern and thoroughly explore all reported symptoms.
Medical History
Investigate past illnesses affecting the cardiovascular system, such as angina, anemia, rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, stroke, thrombophlebitis, dysrhythmias, varicosities
Inquire about symptoms...
Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting01:29

Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting

Documentation in long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings is crucial for ensuring continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive care for patients. Each setting has its specific documentation processes and tools:
Long-Term Care Facilities
Traditional Level Of Health Care System01:26

Traditional Level Of Health Care System

The levels of care describe the services provided in the healthcare system. Accordingly, there are six levels of the traditional healthcare system in the US: preventive, primary, secondary, tertiary, restorative, and continuing healthcare. A nurse must understand how the healthcare industry organizes and provides services within these levels of care.
The preventive healthcare service includes tests for screening. Preventive health care services include identifying and reducing disease risk...

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Military Medicine
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Individual aging is significantly influenced by life experiences, particularly formative wartime events.
    • Understanding the long-term physical health of veterans is crucial for targeted healthcare.
    • Existing research on aging populations is heavily influenced by cohorts who experienced wartime.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate and summarize the current knowledge regarding the physical health status of Canadian veterans.
    • To synthesize findings from Canadian, American, Australian, and European veteran health literature.
    • To explore the impact of combat exposure and the 'healthy warrior effect' on veteran health research.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature review of studies on Canadian veterans' physical health.
    • Inclusion of international research on American, Australian, and European veterans.
    • Analysis of reports concerning veteran health from Great Britain and other European nations.

    Main Results:

    • Veterans may exhibit higher rates of general health issues, hearing loss, musculoskeletal disorders, infections, cirrhosis, skin conditions, gastrointestinal issues, neurological conditions, and cardiovascular disease compared to age-matched civilians.
    • The review addresses the distinct physical health challenges faced by female veterans.
    • The 'healthy warrior effect' and its implications for research methodology, including control group selection, are discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • Canadian veterans may face a higher burden of specific physical health conditions than the general population.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand and address the unique health trajectories of veterans, considering gender differences and methodological biases.
    • Effective veteran healthcare strategies must account for the long-term physical health consequences of military service and combat exposure.
