Physical examinations for adults performed by nurse in practitioner´s ordination.
MANČUŠKOVÁ, Zdenka
This bachelor thesis deals with physical examination, the monitoring of physiological functions and the recording of cardiographs by nurses in private practice examination rooms. The thesis contains two parts. The first, and theoretical, part of the thesis is focused on the explanation of certain terms and a description of what it means to provide a physical examination, monitoring of physiological functions and recording cardiographs. The physical examination is focused around human senses. Sight (inspection), hearing (auscultation), touching (palpation), knocking (percussion), per rectum examination, and smelling are all considered methods of examination. Body temperature, breathing, pulse and blood pressure are considered physiological or vital functions. The electrocardiogram signifies cardiac activity in the form of a line, which is drawn by a gadget called an electrocardiogram (ECG). Activities executed by nurses in a private practice exam rooms can be divided into four groups: preventative, diagnostic, medical and administrative group. A nurse provides patients with medical educative materials, samples biological material, monitors clients physiological functions, gives injections, changes bandages, sends preventative examination invitations, orders medical material and equipment etc. The second part contains investigative research. The empirical investigation was performed using the qualitative method in a form of a semi structured interview and direct observation during the interview. In an interview with eight nurses, who all work in private practices, the nurses were asked 15 basic questions. The nurses were observed as they each examined a separate patient. The observation was done based on 32 observation criteria. The observation results were compared with the results of the interviews. Based on their close relation to physical examination, monitoring of physiological functions and cardiograph was added.
