There’s an obligation in patient care to do no harm and an equal obligation to assist the patient.  \n-Nonmaleficence is the duty to do no harm.  \n-Tort: litigation in which one person asserts that an injury (physical, emotional or financial) occurred as a consequence of another’s actions or failure to act.  \n-Negligence: harm that results because a person didn’t act reasonably.  \n-Malpractice: professional negligence.  \n-Slander: character attacked and uttered in the presence of others.  \n-Assault: act in which there is a threat or attempt to do bodily harm.  \n-Battery: unauthorized physical contact.  \nCULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS  \n1. African Americans  \n-Higher incidence of high blood pressure and obesity;  \n-High incidence of lactose intolerance.  \n2. Arab Americans  \n-May remain silent about STIs, substance abuse, and mental illness;  \n-After death, the family may want to prepare the body and autopsy is discouraged unless required by law; -Use same-sex family members as interpreters. 3. Asian Americans  \n-Believe in the yin/yang “hot-cold” theory of illness; -Sodium intake is generally high because of salted and dried foods;  \n-Usually refuse organ donation;  \n-May nod without necessarily understanding. 4. Latino Americans  \n-Family members are typically involved in all aspects of decision making such as terminal illness;  \n-May see no reason to submit to mammograms or vaccinations.  \n5. Native Americans  \n-Diet may be deficient in vitamin D and calcium because many suffer from lactose intolerance or don’t drink milk; -Obesity and diabetes are major health concerns.  \nRELIGIOUS CONSIDERATIONS  \n-Jehovah’s Witness: no blood products should be used.  \n-Hindu: no beef or items containing gelatin.  \n-Jewish: special dietary restrictions, use of kosher foods.  \n-Adventists: no pork nor alcohol and sometimes no meat. -Muslims: no pork nor alcohol; people with chronic illnesses and women that are pregnant, breast-feeding or menstruating don’t fast during Ramadan.  \nORDER OF ASSESSMENT:  \n| Blood Type | Can receive from: | Can donate to: |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| O | O | O, A, B, AB |\n| A | A, O | A, AB |\n| B | B, O | B, AB |\n| AB | O, A, B, AB | AB |\n\nTRACTIONS  \n-Buck’s traction: knee immobility  \n-Russell traction: femur or lower leg-Dunlap traction: skeletal or skin  \n-Bryant’s traction: children \u003C3y, \u003C35 lbs with femur fracture.  \nINFANT’S DEVELOPMENT:  \n2-3 months: turns head side to side  \n4-5 months: grasps, switch & roll  \n6-7 months: sit at 6 and waves bye-bye  \n8-9 months: stands straight at eight  \n10-","cbCaifL0hO4hPbNi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifL0hO4hPbNi","pdf",1087220,14,"English","# Study Tips\n## Assessment, Implementation, and Delegation\n# Ethics & Legal Issues\n# Cultural & Religious Considerations\n# Clinical Reference Tables\n## Blood Types and Tractions\n## Infant Development and Erikson’s Stages\n## Burns, Cranial Nerves, and PPE","[{\"question\":\"What are the core study tips and test-taking rules in these NCLEX-RN notes?\",\"answer\":\"The notes emphasize dealing with patients rather than machines, avoiding absolute words like never/always/must, and using “most information” when unsure.
