Physiological Adaptation Nclex Review Physiological adaptation involves the nurse managing and providing care for clients with acute, chronic, and life-threatening health conditions. Physiological adaptation is important for nursing care because it is all about being familiar with health alterations and the basics in care for and treating them. The nurse must be able to perform and assessment and recognize signs of different diseases or illnesses and anticipate the orders that the provider will put in. Along with that the nurse must be able to recognize adverse effects of treatments that the client may experience. In this nclex review I learned a saying that I can use to remember when tasks need to be delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel and licensed practical nurses. “You cannot delegate what you can EAT”. The EAT stands for education, assessment, and teaching. This means that as the registered nurse I cannot delegate the tasks of educating the client on their diagnosis, initial assessments on new clients, and teaching the use of medical equipment to unlicensed assistive personnel or a licensed practical nurse. This is a great memory pneumonic because when you can remember the three easy things that cannot be delegated rather than the abundance of things that can be delegated it is faster and easier to recognize on a test. Moving forward I have been testing myself on board vitals and Uworld in the physiological adaptation category to refamiliarize myself with these kinds of questions. I also rewatched the some videos on health alterations that I found difficult to refresh my memory.
