medically futile

Doing treatments that are not helpful because they will not provide a cure or extend life. (example, treatment is medically futile for a client who has cancer in multiple organs with no chance of remission)

Generation Alpha (2013-present)

Most members of this age group are familiar with technology, as they have likely grown up with it at home or school. Care for the pediatric population is based on a family-centered care model. Communication, therefore, involves not only the client, but also the client's caregiver.

palliative care

a treatment approach that focuses on the management of symptoms of chronic or life-threatening illnesses while maintaining the highest quality of life possible for the client

Swanson's Theory of Caring

addresses caring in the profession of nursing and its impact on improving client well-being by assisting nurses to promote the client's empowerment, respect, and dignity. This theory views caring as a process that nurses utilize when demonstrating caring. It includes five distinct categories: maintaining belief, knowing, being with, doing for, and enabling.

Generation Z, or Post-Millennials (1998-2012)

are digital natives, having always been exposed to technology. They enjoy instantaneous feedback, are not used to waiting for things, and often prefer to communicate via texts or email. Nurses who care for these clients should remember that they may be using electronic devices simultaneously and do not see any problem with multitasking while the nurse is present.

Clients in the Baby Boomer generation (1945-1964)

are often comfortable with meetings and in-person communication. They value sincere communication, but expect it to be carried out in a slightly less formal way. They are also idealistic. Ways to demonstrate patient-centered care to members of both the Silent Generation and the Baby Boomer generation are for the nurse to avoid typing and looking at computer screens while interacting with clients, as this can be considered disrespectful. These generations expect caregivers to listen attentively and not to interrupt.

Clients from Generation X (1965-1980)

are usually comfortable with technology, can be somewhat cynical and pragmatic, and are generally independent. These clients prefer quick, direct, and to-the-point communication and instruction. They will often question nurses and providers, unlike members of the previous two generations, and expect timely and actionable communication. Nurses should prepare themselves by knowing that these behaviors are not necessarily meant to be rude, and they should not take questioning as a personal assault on the nurse's care or level of education.

Generation Y (1981-1997)

clients are comfortable with technology, generally more educated and more diverse than the previous generations, and flexible; they also like frequent feedback. With caring for members of this group, the nurse should focus care and teaching efforts on using technology as appropriate and providing frequent positive reinforcement.

Watson's Theory of Human Caring

is a model of client care that adopts a holistic healing perspective, characterized by caring moments in which the nurse and the client have a human-to-human connection, referred to as transpersonal caring. The goal of caring is for the nurse to assist the client in achieving an elevated level of harmony among the mind, body, and spirit.

Clients from the Silent Generation (1928-1945)

prefer face-to-face, formal, and written communication; they value loyalty, and expect it in return from others. They also expect nursing care to exhibit these characteristics.
