Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)01:27

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

74
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Methods of Documentation IV: Focus Charting

1.0K
Focus Charting, also known as the focus charting system or "focus documentation," is a systematic documentation approach used in healthcare to organize patient information in medical records.
It typically involves three columns for recording information:

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

143
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

2.8K
Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis01:10

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.3K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I

2.7K
A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.
There are thirteen domains...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Humanities
    • Visual Culture Studies
    • Narrative Medicine

    Background:

    • Illness narratives are crucial for understanding patient experiences.
    • Traditional prose-based narratives may not fully capture the complexities of diagnosis.
    • Graphic medicine offers a unique visual and textual approach to illness storytelling.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define and analyze the graphic diagnosis memoir as a distinct form of illness narrative.
    • To explore how sequential art in cartoons facilitates understanding of medical diagnoses.
    • To examine the interplay between images, text, and reader interpretation in graphic diagnosis stories.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of illustrated essays and graphic memoirs focusing on diagnosis.
    • Examination of the structural elements of sequential art (panels, gaps, text-image integration).
    • Exploration of the cognitive and emotional processes involved in reader engagement with graphic narratives.

    Main Results:

    • Graphic diagnosis memoirs employ a unique storytelling method distinct from standard prose.
    • The sequential segmentation of cartoons requires readers to actively bridge conceptual and visual gaps.
    • Successful graphic narratives necessitate the artist's projection of reader interpretation of linked ideas, images, and words.
    • This visual format enhances the relevance and visibility of a diagnosis by highlighting shared understanding and individual differences.

    Conclusions:

    • Graphic diagnosis memoirs offer a powerful and accessible mode for communicating complex health experiences.
    • The visual-textual synergy in graphic narratives can foster empathy and understanding between patients and healthcare providers.
    • This medium effectively translates abstract diagnostic concepts into tangible, relatable visual stories.
