Noticing triggers reasoning patterns that allow the nurse to interpret the situation and respond with interventions. Reflection-in-action specifically relates to evaluating outcomes of interventions while reflection-on-action represents the contribution of an experience to a nurse’s collective experiences.

- Fig. 6-1 A method of classifying pain is by the pathophysiology involved. I, Nociceptive pain (stimuli from somatic and visceral structures). II, Neuropathic pain (stimuli abnormally processed by nervous system).
- ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY
- Fig. 6-2 Outlines the four basic processes involved in nociception: 1, transduction; 2, transmission; 3, perception; and 4, modulation.
- Fig. 6-2, cont’d
- Fig. 6-3 Illustrates the four steps involved in the pain process: transduction, when nociceptors stimulate the free nerve endings; transmission, when nociceptor stimulation initiates action potentials along A-delta or C fibers to open the gate in the substantia gelatinosa and ascend to the brain in the spinothalamic tract through the thalamus (or stimulate A-alpha or A-beta fibers that close the gate); perception, when impulses move from the thalamus to the parietal lobe, where pain is felt, and to the limbic system, which derives the emotional response to pain; and modulation, when the body produces endorphins and enkephalins to occupy the opiate receptor sites to close the gate.

The rank value of each descriptor is based on its position in the word set. The sum of the rank values is the pain rating index (PRI). The present pain intensity (PPI) is based on a scale of 0 to 5.
- Fig. 6-5 A, Descriptive pain intensity scale; B, Numeric pain intensity scale; C, Visual analog scale.
- Fig. 6-6 Self-contained, portable, pain-rating instrument that can provide immediate assessment of pain. It is a 5 × 20 cm plastic visual analog scale with a sliding marker that moves within a 10 cm groove. The side facing the client (A) resembles a traditional analog scale, whereas the opposite side (B) is marked in centimeters to quantify pain intensity. The tool has been shown to be valid to measure pain intensity.

B, Tachypnea is a respiratory rate greater than 20 breaths per minute. The rate and depth remain smooth and even. Tachypnea can be caused by a number of factors, including fever, fear, or activity. C, Hyperventilation is characterized by increased rate and depth of respiration. D, When hyperventilation occurs with ketoacidosis, it is very deep and laborious and is termed Kussmaul breathing. E, Biot breathing pattern is characterized by irregularly interspersed periods of apnea in a disorganized and irregular pattern, rate, or depth. It may be associated with persistent intracranial pressure, respiratory distress, or damage to the medulla. F, Cheyne-Stokes is characterized by intervals of apnea interspersed with a deep and rapid breathing pattern. This may be seen in clients with severe illness, brain damage, or drug overdose. G, Air trapping is an abnormal respiratory pattern frequently seen in clients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is characterized by rapid inspirations with prolonged, forced expirations. Air is not fully exhaled; thus it becomes trapped in the lungs, which eventually leads to a barrel chest.

- Fig. 20-42 Tanner’s five stages of breast development in females. M1—Only the nipple is raised above the level of the breast, as in the child. M2—Budding stage: bud-shaped elevation of the areola. On palpation, a fairly hard disk- or cherry-shaped “button” can be felt. The areola is increased in diameter and the surrounding area is slightly elevated. M3—Further elevation of the mammary gland. Diameter of areola increases further. Shape of mammary tissue is now visibly feminine. M4—Increasing fat deposits. The areola forms a secondary elevation above that of the breast. This secondary mound apparently occurs in roughly half of all young females and in some cases persists in adulthood. M5—Adult stage. The areola (usually) subsides to the level of the breast and is strongly pigmented.
