Laxative

(Hasmi, personal communication, October 17, 2014), Bulimics blame themselves for the problems associated with their eating disorder; they pinpoint the cause onto themselves as an inability to cope.

Effective communication skills are necessary when advising clients to improve their diet. By using eye contact, listening, and understanding patients’ emotions, nurses can effectively enact healthy dietary change. When a patient loses focus, this creates a barrier for the nurse. In this case, changing the topic to alert the patient and then returning back to the same topic may grasp the client’s attention. Furthermore, when the client’s regimen is not working, laxatives are a common…

is due to the increased osmotic pressure located in the lumen of the colon. After administering, at two hours there was a large sum of water that was not transported because the AQP3 expression level was not high enough. However, following times, such as five hours, showed an increase in the AQP3 expression level, which then led to the transportation of water to the luminal side, causing diarrhea.

Trickster follows a similar process to…
