Tetanus

other nanny and my sister, Alexis, didn't even know what was going on except for my little fake OW! It actually didn’t hurt. Well it ends up that an infection started. At 8:00 p.m. my Mom had to take me to the Emergency Room where I had to get a Tetanus shot and antibiotics. I started wearing water shoes from that point…

Immunization of pregnant women and infants protects children from six vaccine preventable diseases, tetanus, tuberculosis and measles. These are major preventable that helps in preventing the child mortality, disability, morbidity and related malnutrition. Immunization of pregnant women against tetanus also reduces the risk of maternal and neonatal mortality. Health Check-Up: this component covers chidren who are aged less than six years of age…

Furthermore, immunizations protect those that you care about. The success in infectious disease rates are directly attributed to high rates of immunization from childhood. Napoli adds, “Viral diseases cannot be effectively treated once established, vaccination is usually the only practical method of controlling them” (Introduction). Vaccines are not always effective. There is a small chance that a child receiving a vaccine will not be protected if contact with the disease occurs. When the…

Immunization: “the creation of immunity usually against a particular disease; especially treatment (as by vaccination) of an organism for the purpose of making it immune to a particular pathogen” (Merriam-Webster). This method of eradicating a disease has gone on for many years, dating back to the 1700’s, when Edward Jenner studied Cowpox and small pox immunity. Immunization first began in the United States in 1721 when a Puritan Minister Cotton Mather, encouraged smallpox vaccination in…

Let us not forget that disease such as diphtheria pertussis and tetanus are hardly ever seen medically anyway, so what is the case for vaccinating children against disease which is so rare in America to begin with? Any one person with a rational mind can see that multiplying list of vaccinations is just a scheme between…

Considering the evaluation of a high-tension area, such as the hand, treatment is guided by initial control of bleeding, prevention of infection, physical assessment, obtaining a health history, allergies, current medications and tetanus immunization history. Primarily, a focused assessment for the presence or absence of tendon, vascular or nerve damage, taking wound measurements, exploring the mechanism of injury and the length of time since the initial injury is paramount. As might be…

Due to the fact that one of the two ways to increase the strength of a muscle contraction is to increase the frequency at which the motor units fire in order to create a summed effect, it is expected that the shorter the time interval between consecutive stimuli, the greater the force of contraction. If there is a greater amount of time between the stimuli, the muscle would be able to relax before the next stimulus is fired. However, as that time decreases, the individual twitches begin to…

children many schools will require vaccinations from these main diseases before they are allowed to begin classes. Every vaccination has different risks that come with it, and some are more harmful to children than others. Most of the time children have no complications with the vaccinations, beyond the minimal redness and/or swelling at the injection site. Even with this being the case there is always a risk of the child having a severe allergic reaction after a vaccination. There are some…

the treatment of smallpox. This vaccine was extremely effective that the illness has been eradicated. Vaccines prevent millions of deaths annually and have a well established record of keeping people free from certain diseases. Measles, mumps, tetanus and other life threatening illnesses have been reduced by more than 95% (Meadows 1). Despite all the success and scientific evidence, some people still consider vaccines harmful. This belief has lead to a decline in vaccination rates and negative…

The first step I took in researching my topic was going on to the Clark College Library Website to access the article databases that my English teacher, Ms. Steltz, recommended I use. There were many article databases to choose from, each with an abundant amount of information within them if you know how to use them correctly. I am not sure why but I had a hard time finding any directly related information to my project on ProQuest and CQ researcher. but when I checked Gale Virtual Reference…
