Formal Charges

40.4K
In some cases, there are seemingly more than one valid Lewis structures for molecules and polyatomic ions. The concept of formal charges can be used to help predict the most appropriate Lewis structure when more than one reasonable structure exists.

Lewis Structures and Formal Charges

22.0K
Lewis symbols can be used to indicate the formation of covalent bonds, which are shown in Lewis structures—drawings that describe the bonding in molecules and polyatomic ions. The periodic table can be used to predict the number of valence electrons in an atom and the number of bonds that will be formed to reach an octet. Group 18 elements, such as argon and helium, have filled electron configurations and thus rarely participate in chemical bonding. However, atoms from group 17, such as...

Continuing Care

2.0K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Identifying home care clients with potential for functional improvement is crucial for effective care planning.
  • Substantial functional deficits are common among home care recipients, necessitating tools to predict recovery capacity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a Recovery Algorithm to identify home care clients with significant functional deficits but capacity for improvement.
  • To inform the articulation of recovery-oriented goals in home care settings.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective longitudinal analysis of an international home care database.
  • Inclusion of 523,907 individuals with at least two assessments.
  • Algorithm variables included activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental ADL (IADL) dependencies, recent hospitalization, functional decline, and self-belief.

Main Results:

  • The Recovery Algorithm comprises 7 graded levels, with higher levels indicating greater recovery likelihood.
  • Improvement rates increased from 6.9% to 47.2% across the algorithm's levels.
  • Individuals receiving physical therapy demonstrated higher recovery rates.

Conclusions:

  • The Recovery Algorithm effectively identifies home care clients with potential for functional recovery.
  • Care plans should incorporate recovery goals for clients scoring higher on the algorithm.
  • Physical therapy is a key intervention to enhance recovery probability in home care.
