Separating normal from dysfunctional degeneration when screening and assessing an older adult is essential for quality nursing care planning. This session will look at:
What are normal age-related changes to the brain and consequent behavioural signs?
How are these changes different to the onset of mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, psychosis or bipolar disorder?
Age appropriate assessment tools for effective mental health assessment
Benefits of brief psychosocial interventions
What practical behavioural strategies may improve outcomes for a person with a mental health disorder and cognitive changes?

Training load and injuries in football- lessons from research and practise
This document summarizes research on training load management in football. It discusses how monitoring training load and analyzing the data can inform decision making to find the optimal load for each player. While acute:chronic workload ratios are often used, the evidence for their ability to prevent injuries is limited due to poor study quality and lack of randomized controlled trials. Training load must be considered together with other individual factors, and load management aims to balance training and recovery rather than precisely predict or prevent health problems.
Osce and ospe
The document discusses Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE), a type of practical exam used to assess clinical skills. It defines OSPE as an exam that uniformly and objectively tests each component of clinical competence for all students. Key features noted are that it tests both the process and product, uses broad content and objective scoring rubrics. OSPE consists of multiple stations that assess different skills over time periods like 4-15 minutes as students rotate through.

Ebm talk-general-mar99-ppt95
The document discusses the need for evidence-based medicine (EBM) in clinical practice and challenges incorporating EBM. It finds that:
1) A study of patients at a general medicine hospital found that 82% received evidence-based care, with treatments for 53% justified by randomized controlled trials or reviews and 29% by convincing non-experimental evidence.
2) Barriers to practicing EBM include lack of time and access to information at the point of care. Bringing a "cart" of medical evidence resources to patient rounds increased evidence-based searches and decisions.
3) National clinical guidelines need local adaptation to consider unique patient populations, resources, behaviors and costs. Local groups are best equipped to identify

PRMC Case Study - "No Distress Noted" - One Patient's Perspective on Peterson...
Catherine Learoyd was admitted to Peterson Regional Medical Center (PRMC) experiencing life-threatening respiratory distress from a massive pulmonary embolism. Over the first 24 hours, she experienced delays in diagnosis and treatment, lack of communication between providers, and instances where her distress upon movement went unrecorded. She faced a mortality risk of up to 8% but was ultimately saved after being admitted to the ICU and receiving tPA treatment 22 hours after arriving. Learoyd analyzes her case to recommend improvements in communications, policies/procedures, and technology that could help lower PRMC's mortality rate and make it a top-ranked hospital.

Slides from Focus on Frailty 2019 conference main plenary sessions
The Wessex Acute Frailty Audit found variability in how hospitals screen for and manage frailty. Screening for frailty sometimes occurred in emergency departments and acute medical units, but practices were inconsistent across sites. The audit aims to improve standards of care for frail patients in hospitals by identifying gaps and encouraging quality improvement. Further work is needed to drive consistency in frailty screening, management and care transitions.
Quality health care
The document discusses various aspects of quality in healthcare including definitions, common medical errors, factors that contribute to errors, and frameworks for ensuring and improving quality such as ISO standards, accreditation, and the Joint Commission International's patient-centered standards. Key areas addressed in the Joint Commission standards are access to care, patient rights, patient assessment, care delivery, education, and organizational management factors that support quality healthcare.

This document summarizes data related to perinatal mental health referrals in Far North Queensland between September 2010 and August 2011. It finds that the vast majority (299) of the 300 referrals received during this period were for females. While most referrals were for Australian-born non-Indigenous individuals, referrals of Indigenous women and women from diverse cultural backgrounds were also served. The establishment of a perinatal mental health service in Cairns was found to increase referrals to consultation liaison services in the region.

The document discusses vital signs including temperature, pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. It provides context on oxygen saturation measurement and lists the proper process for taking an oxygen saturation reading, including using standard precautions, selecting an appropriate site, ensuring the sensor is attached correctly, and documenting and comparing the measurement. The lecture also intends to cover pain as a vital sign and includes an assignment.
Ns1211 2009 Week 4 Part 5
The document discusses respiratory rate and assessment. It provides the normal respiratory rate ranges for newborns through adults. Factors that can influence respiratory rate are then listed, including neurological injury, acid-base status, altitude, medications, fever, exercise, stress, smoking, anxiety, acute pain, and body position.

The document discusses blood pressure (BP) measurement and classification. It defines BP as the lateral force on artery walls, which is a good indicator of cardiovascular health. Normal adult BP is between 90/60 to 130/85 mmHg. BP is classified based on systolic and diastolic ranges from normal to crisis hypertension. Factors like environment, equipment, patient characteristics and position can affect BP measurement, which can be done directly or indirectly, usually by auscultation of Korotkoff sounds with a sphygmomanometer. The process of measuring BP is also outlined.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Editor's Notes
- Before moving on: a quick word about the “On Track Program” School of Nursing staff are aware that first year students like yourself can, at times, feel overwhelmed by the new environment, academic language, timetables and study requirements. At JCU, we care about the success of our students and, to support students through their first year of study, we have a programme called ‘On Track’. The ‘On Track’ programme focuses on supporting students who do not attend their lectures, tutorials and/or practicals (which ever is appropriate) in the first few weeks of semester. We want to make sure that students are aware of all the support that is available on campus to assist students to achieve positive outcomes as well as enjoy their first year university experience.. If you are one of these students, you can expect a courtesy call from a student mentor from the School of Nursing in week 4/5. This supportive phone call will advise you of the large number of support services available to support you in your academic success.
