Addressing any other possible predisposing and precipitating factors that might be disrupting brain function; Optimize physiology and conditions for brain recovery (e.g., oxygenation, hydration, nutrition, electrolytes, metabolites, medication review) Detect and manage distress and behavioral disturbances (e.g., pain control) Maintaining mobility
These factors are classified as 1) predisposing, 2) enabling, and 3) reinforcing factors. [2] [3] Predisposing factors are any characteristics of a person or population that motivate behavior prior to or during the occurrence of that behavior. [2] They include an individual's knowledge, beliefs, values, and attitudes.
Most systems of formulation contain the following broad categories of information: symptoms and problems; precipitating stressors or events; predisposing life events or stressors; and an explanatory mechanism that links the preceding categories together and offers a description of the precipitants and maintaining influences of the person's ...
Specific to public health policy, a determinant is a health risk that is general, abstract, related to inequalities, and difficult for an individual to control. [2] [3] [4] For example, poverty is known to be a determinant of an individual's standard of health. Risk factors may be used to identify high-risk people.
The diathesis–stress model [23] emphasizes the importance of applying multiple causality to psychopathology, by stressing that disorders are caused by both precipitating causes, and predisposing causes. A precipitating cause is an immediate trigger that instigates a person's action or behavior. A predisposing cause is an underlying factor ...
There is no way to predict rapid delivery, and sometimes no predisposing factors are present. However, there are factors which make it more likely, including: [3] [4] Placental abruption. Having prior births. Previous rapid delivery. Young maternal age (teenagers). Preterm delivery. Lower birth weight. Hypertensive disorders.
Supportive measures include treatment of precipitating factors (e.g. infection), intravenous fluids, and cooling blankets and ice packs for persistent fever. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be used as a bridging measure for refractory cardiorespiratory failure induced by thyroid storm. [30]
Risk factors. A large amount of near work is the main precipitating factor of accommodative excess. [3] Pseudomyopia
