CONCLUSION

A. Nurse-centered

The researchers were able to gain knowledge and deeper understanding of the disease

process itself, improve their skills regarding the management of the disease process and impart

health teachings regarding the client’s condition in maintaining an optimum level of functioning.

Moreover, the researchers were able to accomplish the following:

1. Interpreted the and deeply understand the disease condition;

2. Related the present state of the client with his personal and pertinent family history;

3. Analyzed and interpret the different diagnostic and laboratory procedures, its purpose and

its essential relationship to client’s disease condition;

4. Identified treatment modalities and its importance like drugs, diet and exercise;

5. Identified surgical management and its purpose that is applicable with the disease

condition;

6. Formulated nursing care plans based on the prioritized health needs of the client;

7. Gained knowledge on the acquisition and progression of the disease;

8. Imparted knowledge on fellow students in providing care for clients with the same

illness.

B. Patient-Centered

The client’s significant others were able to acquire knowledge on the risk factors that

have contributed to the development of the disease; also, gain understanding of the disease

process and demonstrate compliance on the treatment management rendered by the health care

team.
 In relation to the patient’s condition, the proponents were also able to accomplish these

tasks:

1. Gained knowledge about the disease of the patient;

2. Identified different interventions in his condition;

3. Gained knowledge on the importance of compliance to treatment regimen;

4. Demonstrated compliance on the treatment management;

5. Identified different measures to prevent further aggravation of condition;

6. Participated in his plan of care; and

7. Demonstrated independence on self-care and home management upon discharge and

during follow-up home visits.

The student nurses therefore concluded that low socio-economic status and nutritional

deficiency greatly affect the individual’s susceptibility against the occurrence of diseases. They

also include the different risk factors that contribute to the occurrence of gathering acute

pyelonephrits such as: the environment, improper sanitation, deficient knowledge and

understanding regarding the disease, its cause, mode of transmission, prevention and treatment,

and the patient’s susceptibility to the disease. Furthermore, the student nurses conclude that:

• The environment plays a vital role in the health of a person.

• The viruses and bacteria that cause acute pyelonephritis are contagious and are usually

found in respiratory tract infection.

• Risk for infection will always be blamed to the decrease in the primary defenses as well

as with the virulence of a microorganism.
