meals. Vicki has been diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a common disease that affects the heart and blood vessels. Hypertension usually develops slowly and is often overlooked, some people go years without knowing they have it, however, this disease can be managed with medication, a healthy diet, exercise, and lowering stress levels (Mayo clinic, 2016). HOW HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE IS DETERMINED Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood the heart pumps and…

United States, hypertension, often called the “silent killer” because it can go unnoticed for years until a deadly stroke or heart attack ensues, stands as a common problem for Americans, Arkansans especially. An additional 25% of adults possess blood pressure readings that are deemed pre-hypertensive, putting them at jeopardy for hypertension. Hypertension can arise at any age, and the risk of developing hypertension increases as one continues to age. Hypertension is divided into two stages:…

losing weight, and modifying their diet. Aerobic exercise, such as walking or jogging, help decrease high blood pressure as it can reduce artery stiffness. In turn, exercise helps reduce high blood pressure, therefore, preventing atherosclerosis, which may lead to myocardial infraction and possibly a stroke. Reducing sodium consumption yields a positive effect in reducing blood pressure. This can lead to a reduction in mortality related to cardiovascular disease (Elton, Feldman, Pleister, &…

the United States have hypertension and only about 52% of them have it under control (High blood pressure, 2015). Hypertension is a disease where the patient has high blood pressure on an everyday basis. There are five levels of blood pressure readings. Systolic blood pressure is a reading of how forceful the heart is pumping. A systolic pressure of under 120 or is considered normal. A systolic pressure of 120-140 is considered prehypertension. The last three are actually considered…

All living organisms require the process of osmosis in order to live. When there is a semi-permeable membrane separating differing parts of an aqueous solution, the fluid will flow from the section with the higher osmotic pressure to the section with the lower osmotic pressure (HammelSchlege2005). This happens because the solute molecules diffuse toward the fluid with a lower concentration and the solute molecules drag the water through which they diffuse (HammelSchlege2005). This is important…

Converge” tells the story of Julian who is accompanying his mother on a bus ride to her YMCA class. Julian is disgusted by his mother’s beliefs and constantly tries to “teach her a lesson,” but everything goes badly when Julian’s actions drive her blood pressure so high that she has a heart attack and (presumably) dies on the street. In “Good Country People,” a young girl named Hulga feels as if she is above everyone in her family, and longs to leave them far behind, until a young “Bible…

As the availability of technology increases, they ways which we apply it are boundless; for each new product that is conceived, an improvement exists. All of which leads to even newer products; a process which ceases to end. So, as innovation continues to accelerate, the purpose of the products evolves, thus increasing in complexity. Take a phone for example; it serves to call someone. Over time, however, it has matured from calling to now texting, facetime, recording. It now has the capacity to…

A.B. did not have any lacerations or extensions and she did not need an episiotomy. During the third stage of labor Pitocin was used to help with uterine contractions. This stage usually last 5-30 minutes and this stage lasted 7 minutes for A.B. which is within normal limits. The placenta was delivered spontaneously at 0404 and no abnormalities were noted. The estimated blood loss was less than 500 ml (Patient’s chart, 2016). Usual blood loss ranges from 250 -500 milliliters after the…

today, and it is something that will never go away. The way someone chooses to let conformity effect them is the real situation of conformity. Many people choose to just see the bad side of conformity. People associate conformity with negative peer pressure. Kids are persuaded by their peers, favorite celebrities, or even their families. By conforming to actions that the person does not usually…

our society has been a controversial topic in all aspects of our life. However, one aspect that is rarely discussed among individuals is the racial inequality in health and that some racial groups are more prone to some diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart diseases, and certain cancers. The question that is predominantly asked concerning this topic is whether these illnesses are due to fundamental biological differences between different racial groups or if there are other…
