“Unintentional burn injuries” occur very often in the pediatric populations (World Health Organization, 2008, p. 7). Furthermore, burn trauma inevitably results in ongoing stress for the patients and their families (Young, Kenardy, Cobham & Kimble, 2012). In anticipation for the short term and long-term effects of significant stress, nursing care within the acute care setting must utilize strategies to reduce stress. This paper highlights factors contributing to stress following a pediatric burn trauma. In addition, this paper also outlines two nursing strategies essential for stress reduction in patients and their families. Key Factors contributing to Stress Pediatric burn trauma often exposes families’ to the acute care setting for the first time (Clukey, Curtis, Hayes & Merrill, 2009). As Patterson & Weichman suggest, anxiety related to a new…

Define chronic illness I think I have a good understanding about what chronic illness is and how it differs from acute illness. Acute illness and chronic illness are different types of illnesses so they are not managed in the same way. Acute illnesses are those that have a shorter duration and will resolve with time and treatment within a few months so the focus is on treatment how to get rid of the illness.

Introduction A sound can be separated into two components; envelope and find structure. The envelope is an outline of the waveform that reflects the fluctuation of amplitude of a sound. The envelope can be thought of as the overall morphology of the sound wave given. In a sound wave, the fine structure is the sound within the envelope. The fine structure can be thought of as the more detailed variation of the sound wave because the sound itself moves at a much faster pace than the overall…
The Hunted I didn’t know who I was. I woke up next to a bunch of muddy kids. They all smelled like they haven't showered in weeks. There was two twins, a chubby kid, and probably the skinniest kid I’ve ever seen. Then I realized I smelled just like them. The chubby one woke up startled just as I had. He was confused.
