Prilosec (omeprazole), a proton pump inhibitor that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach in conditions caused by excess stomach acid. Prilosec suppresses gastric acid secretion by target inhibition of the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell. This enzyme system is considered as the acid (proton) pump within the gastric mucosa, Prilosec has been characterized as a gastric acid-pump inhibitor, because it blocks the final step of acid production. This result is dose-related and leads to inhibition of both basal and gastric acid secretion regardless of stimuli. Prilosec was prescribed for L.G. to treat his symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).…

The Daubert standard is the best choice for determining the admissibility of forensic evidence and expert witnesses in Florida based on the articles provided. The evidence and expert witness testimony that is put forth in Florida litigation should be assessed by the same standards that apply for all rules of evidence in federal courts. Although the Frye standard provides a wide scope as to what can be used as evidence, a stricter set of standards would be more beneficial to the public because it would assure litigants that the science has been proven to be reliable. Frye is based more on the opinion of other experts in the field and what is accepted.…
3. The patient in this case study is taking omeprazole for a presumably gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD). Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor producing a decrease in the gastric acid secretion, therefore it is used as first treatment option in the gastrointestinal reflux disease( May and Rao,2014) 4. It would be reasonable to suspect that constipation in this patient’s case is induced by the aosteoarthritis therapy and anticholinergic effect of loratadine used for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis.…

Brianna, Sadly, it is true that there is a negative connotation attached to DCPP. Way too many people believe that the goal of DCPP is to snatch children away from families. While it was still named DYFS people would say that just calling DYFS on parents would get a child removed from their home. I admire your decision to pursue a career with the DCPP, especially since people ignore the positive impact that the DCPP has. People definitely need to get educated on DCPP, and I hope you can continue to open the eyes of people who do not know the true goals of the DCPP!…

The nerve to phase out a program that has done nothing, expect to bring together the brightest minds into the U.S. workforce and educational institutions, is unprecedented. It’s utterly barbaric to ostracize thousands of individuals, who followed the regulations within the immigration system and upheld themselves as distinguished citizens, to prohibit the fundamental right to pursue the American dream through hard work and education. I know individuals who struggle to maintain their DACA statuses and face the constant fear of deportation because of a slip up as simple as a traffic violation. I cannot grasp the concept of a higher authority eliminating individuals based on a piece of paper that defines them as a citizen. Honestly, my allegiance lies solely within the Democratic Party because they function on using emotions to create change within the government by stating how America prospered due to immigrant influence.…
Preparing for this exam was unlike any other exam for me. I have recently accepted a job at Easter Maine Medical Center, as a nursing tech, and the hours of orientation have been challenging to balance with my studies. My new job has required even greater time management than I have previously implemented. I worked a thirteen-hour shift the day before the exam, worked immediately after the exam, and then completed an online midterm for my socio-cultural nursing class that evening. Although I have not received my exam grade, I felt very prepared and confident due to my strict time management.…

Dialectical Behavior Therapy: Original Design Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was first developed by Marsha Linehan for the treatment of individuals suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and suicidal or self-injurious behavior (Swales, 2009). In her work with these individuals, Marsha noticed that many of them were not engaged in or collaborating with a therapeutic process based on change. She hypothesized that many of these individuals did not believe they had the ability to change, so a therapeutic method based on change was not going to work.…

This article presented an experimental level three study. The reason for this study was to evaluate the harms and benefits or harms associated with pantoprazole. The thought is that pantoprazole increases the risk of VAP, CDI, and GI bleeding in critically ill patients who are mechanically ventilated. Rates of VAP, CDI, and GI bleeding represented the dependent variable and pantoprazole and placebo represent the independent variable in this study. The two types of data collected were nominal and ratio.…
