Henderson’s PCO2 is elevated. Under normal conditions, what would be the PRIMARY mechanism that his body would use to reduce the amount of PCO2 in the blood? Why is this mechanism not working in this case? Primary mechanism Mr. Henderson should use to reduce the amount of pCO2 in his blood would be to take fast deep breathes. In his case this would prove to be difficult due to the strain from the hemothorax on his respiratory system .…
Pearce and Nair (2015) agreed that blood pressure is the pressure exerted by blood within the blood vessel. The systolic blood pressure is when the heart contracts and diastolic when the heart relaxes (Timby 2009, p 199). In addition to this, Miller ( 2010, p 4 - 5) states normal systolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg and diastolic 80 mmHg. I placed the cuff above patient's right anti-cubital fossa when I realized I was not supporting her arm; therefore, I made her comfortable by placing a pillow under her arm. Whilst inflating the cuff, the assessor pointed me out I was holding the manometer on my hand; therefore, I rapidly hung it on the upper edge of the cuff where I could see it.…
After Flora married John Clarke in 1878 they started up a business in hotel keeping in Magnetewan with sister Cecilia employed as a 15 year old servant. The business turned out not to be successful and subsequently, John worked as a lumberman and cook in the region until about 1892 when the family of 6 moved to Parry Sound Village by 1901. As their family grew older and taking up lives of their own, Flora and John found temporary work as caretakers for the Vankoughnett farm on Blackstone Lake in 1911. Afterwards, when the farm was sold they relocated to Powassan, John passing away from liver cancer and dementia. After John 's death Flora spent the rest of her days closer to Parry Sound.…
Have you ever wondered what life would be without the Go-Pro? One pearson was able to change the way we record by making the Go-Pro. Nick Woodman spent his early years wanting to surf, and later as an adult Woodman surfed nonstop. Furthermore Woodman went on to become a great surfer and an inventor and to accomplish great strides with the invention of the Gopro. You'll soon learn about the childhood of Nick Woodman.…
Unit 4 Responses: "Captive," Langer, Pinker, Roberts Captive: There are several conclusions that can be drawn from the allegory story. It could stand as a warning that we should avoid dark, moist caves and spend more time in a sunny environment with fresh air. This could also be just another artful story. It goes without saying that the story includes events that symbolize a deeper significance. Taking a look at the author’s history as a philosopher, I can see that there are many levels by which the story can be interpreted.…
John Mason isn't your average ceramist. He does things with clay that no other ceramist would've pondered. By pushing clay past it's normal plasticity levels, Mason created extravagant sculptures. He also makes geometric sculptures, like one of his most famous clay pieces; the Red X. I chose John Mason because I found it impressive the way he thinks of and makes clay pieces. He believed that making an art piece was like dancing; sometimes you're taught how, but sometimes you improvise.…
Introduction The purpose of the lab was to see the effects of heart rate and blood pressure when 3 male and 3 female students exercised compared to when they were at rest. My hypothesis is that the data from the exercise part of the experiment will cause both the heart rate and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) to increase more than the resting state.…
Background/Problem Statement Blood Pressure measurements are important to track and monitor because having a high blood pressure – also referred to as hypertension can put an individual at risk for heart disease and lead to other health complications. If high blood pressure goes untreated an individual can increase their chances of having a stroke, heart attack, kidney and sight issues, and even death. The normal range of blood pressure is around 120-139 (systolic) over 80-89 (diastolic). Healthcare providers need accurate readings of your blood pressure to help…
Simultaneously, while Richard’s life was well underway, across the country a new life was just beginning. Bryan Spicer arrived into a world where a major war had just ended. United States was currently enjoying economic prosperity yet racial issues were still prominent throughout the country. However, the condition of the country was reflected differently through the eyes of Bryan Spicer and the life he forged for himself.…
Consistent with the existing literature, patient knowledge of HTN will be determined using Hypertension knowledge questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed by the National Institutes of Health for determination of patient HTN knowledge and had an acceptable level of reliability. The original questionnaire was developed from the existing guidelines and information published by various bodies that have an interest in heart disease, including CDC, American Heart Association, and National Lung and Blood Institute (Martins, Gor, Teklehaimanot, & Norris, 2000). The 12-items questionnaire involved with true and false answers. The HTN knowledge questionnaire will be administered before and after the implementation of the education and HBPM program.…
When measuring blood pressure, the two numbers checked are systolic and diastolic pressure. The former measures the pressure the blood has on the arteries when beating, while the latter measures blood pressure (BP) when the heart is at rest. An individual that is diagnosed with hypertension has a systolic blood pressure of over 140 mm Hg and/or a diastolic pressure of over 90 mm Hg (Weber, et al., 2014). According to a study by Kshirsagar (2006), individuals are still at risk for CV if they have prehypertension, which is having a systolic blood pressure range of 120-139 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure range of 80-89 mm Hg.…
condition, treatment available and his outcome. The potential for knowledge with a practical and real case increase the author awareness about hypertension equally how to recognise the potential for another condition such as heart diseases, stroke or kidney failure to occur and how to take appropriate…
Diabetes is an important risk factor of cardiomyopathy which evolve to heart failure. A detailed evaluation of the cardiovascular function in diabetes mellitus by echocardiography is useful to demonstrate left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. The association of diabetes with hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia derange the left ventricular diastolic function earlier. The study population comprised of 73 (60.8%) males and 47 (39.2%) females among the total of 120 patients with history of type 2 diabetes mellitus of any duration. The mean age of the subjects was 50.4±8.358 years.…
Hypertension also referred to as blood pressure, it 's the force pushing against the walls of arteries as it flows through them, (Medical Dictionary, 2016). When the heart beats to push out blood from the arteries blood pressure is at its highest. Hypertension sometimes called “Silent killer” because patients can live with the condition for years without any signs and symptoms. Systolic is the first blood pressure reading, it is when the heart is contracting while diastolic is the second blood pressure reading when the heart is relaxed. There are various stages of hypertension : Prehypertension ( with a systolic reading between 120-139 and a diastolic reading between 80-89) High blood pressure stage1 (with a systolic reading between 140-159 and a diastolic reading between 90-99).…
Blood Pressure Blood pressure , as a physiological variable of humans, is a hydrostatic pressure, utilized by blood on the walls of blood vessels.(Tortora and Derrickson 2011). It is caused by the contraction of the ventricles and the amount of blood in the whole cardiovascular system. The mean blood pressure (the average pressure in the cardiac cycle) is coordinated in order to provide adequate blood transfer to the tissues.(Saladin,2001). The decrease of blood pressure is followed by an increase of heart rate. The normal blood pressure is 120 mm HG systolic and 80 mm HG diastolic blood pressure There are three main types of blood pressure regulation considering homeostasis: Neural regulation…
