Concept Analysis Diagram - Intracranial Regulation



Nursing Care Directed toward what contributes to a normal concept and is thereby related to all factors involved in or with the concept. Not always needed to have a normal outcome.AttributesDefining characteristics of the concept What property, quality, or data must be present for the concept to existAntecedentsWhat precedes the concept for it to existEvents or incidents that must happen before the conceptConsequencesUntoward events or outcomes that occur due to malfunction within the conceptPositive events or outcomes that occur due to proper functioning within the conceptInterrelated ConceptConcepts which can affect change in the otherConcepts which work together to ensure a normal process Concepts which if depleted or impaired can cause a negative consequence in the otherSub-ConceptCritical components of major conceptIntracranial RegulationThe processes that affect intracranial compensation and adaptive neurological function.Nursing CarePrimary, Secondary,TertiaryAntecedentsAdequate Function of Neurons and NeurotransmittersAdequate Perfusion of Blood, Oxygen, and GlucoseAdequate AutoregulationAttributesAge Appropriate Response to StimuliGlasgow Coma Scale 15Cranial Nerves I-XII IntactIntracranial Pressure 10-15 mm HgCerebral Perfusion Pressure 60-70 mm HgMean Arterial Pressure >70 < 170 mm HgEuglycemicInterrelated ConceptsMobilityPerfusionCognitionSub -ConceptsCerebrospinal Fluid ProductionCranial Nerve FunctionBlood Brain BarrierConsequences(Outcomes)Increased Intracranial PressureCerebral EdemaBrain Tumors/Space Occupying LesionsPositiveNegativeAge Appropriate Cognitive AbilityAge Appropriate MobilityAge Appropriate Response to EnvironmentGas ExchangeAutoregulationLevel of ConsciousnessFunctional AbilitySensory PerceptionIntracranial RegulationThe processes that affect intracranial compensation and adaptive neurological function.Nursing CarePrimary, Secondary,TertiaryAntecedentsAdequate Function of Neurons and NeurotransmittersAdequate Perfusion of Blood, Oxygen, and GlucoseAdequate AutoregulationAttributesAge Appropriate Response to StimuliGlasgow Coma Scale 15Cranial Nerves I-XII IntactIntracranial Pressure 10-15 mm HgCerebral Perfusion Pressure 60-70 mm HgMean Arterial Pressure >70 < 170 mm HgEuglycemicInterrelated ConceptsMobilityPerfusionCognitionSub -ConceptsCerebrospinal Fluid ProductionCranial Nerve FunctionBlood Brain BarrierConsequences(Outcomes)Increased Intracranial PressureCerebral EdemaBrain Tumors/Space Occupying LesionsPositiveNegativeAge Appropriate Cognitive AbilityAge Appropriate MobilityAge Appropriate Response to EnvironmentGas ExchangeAutoregulationLevel of ConsciousnessFunctional AbilitySensory PerceptionExplanation of Intracranial Regulation Diagram:The brain is a complex organ that controls many functions of the body. The brain receives and interprets stimuli from both internal and external sources. Intracranial regulation includes normal and abnormal processes of cranial function. This process includes the brain and the central nervous system. In order for intracranial compensation and adaptive neurological function to occur, there must be adequate functioning of neurons and neurotransmitters. There must be adequate perfusion of blood, oxygen and glucose. Cerebral perfusion should be within the normal pressure of 10-15 mm Hg. and cerebral perfusion pressure of 60-70 mm Hg which requires a mean arterial pressure of greater than 70 but less than 170 mm Hg. Intracranial regulation is interrelated with concepts of cognitive function, gas exchange, mobility and perfusion. The nurse should recognize behaviors that indicate age appropriate cognitive ability. Negative consequences of intracranial regulation may include cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, and brain tumors. ................
