Background radiation

Warren’s main point in her article is trying to figure out if Chemotherapy and radiation really have all the answers to keep the tumors from recurring. “The role of chemotherapy after surgery or radiation is unclear” (Kathy Warren). There is little evidence showing that chemotherapy actually helps raise the survival rate after surgery. Surgery is the main procedure of removing the tumors, but…

Perception of the Dilemma When communicating with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds, it is important to present information in a clear and respectful manner. In this example, it is a lack of communication that caused of the ethical dilemma. The ordering physician did not explain the procedure to the husband and the patient. If the physician had explained the injection process, it would have given the husband the opportunity to contact our unit and we could have developed a mutually…

The purpose of the Light, Color, and Solutions experiment was to determine how to use a spectrophotometer, understand the relationship between a solution’s visible color and its color absorption, and to derive, understand, and use Beer’s Law. Some background information that would be helpful included that the color of a solution was determined both by the colors it absorbed as well as the colors it transmitted. For example, if a solution was viewed as the color red, then red light was…

reactor with the widespread release of radioactive matter. Under the Kremlin’s intense Russification program, Ukraine was urbanized by the subtle loss of culture and history and language was marginalized. Lack of interest in information based on background regarding the problems of the nuclear plant resulted in the avoidable disaster. As McConnell say “The Communist government’s callous disregard for human life and health was not a momentary brain freeze, nor was it an accident; it was…

Title: The effectiveness of different makeups at same SPF level at blocking ultraviolet light in normal daily lives. Group members participated in the experiment: Mathurra Siva, Julia Enriquez and Jindi Li Introduction Background information: Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic waves which travel at a same speed of 300000000 m per seconds through the space from the sun. UV light is crucial for the human’s body as it helps people to produce vitamin D. However, excess of UV light without…

the fallout and radiation from the plant. The Japanese government screened all the people who evacuated and were 18 and under for thyroid cancer because people in this age group absorb more iodine which is what was being released from the plant. In recent years there has been an increase of thyroid cancer amongst children. Most of the people who were exposed have a higher risk of developing thyroid, breast cancer, and leukemia. People who aren’t dealing with cancer or radiation sickness are…

person out in the country, because of the light pollution in the city. It might would make sense that if the astronauts were to go into space that because of the zero light pollution, thousands of stars would be visible. However, when looking at the background in the pictures on the moon there and no stars visible. Theorists claim that this is due to that fact that the Apollo mission pictures were taken on the Earth, and astronomers would be able to figure out that the photos were taken from…

includes the upholding the principle of nonmaleficence which is the obligation to not inflict intentional harm. This duty extends to the patient’s family as well as the patient, so in this case we would not want to expose the patient’s husband to radiation during his wife’s…

Background Information Oil is an organic fluid that has a lower density than water. When oil is spilled on water, it will float on the water surface and form a thin layer. Oil is not soluble in water. This thin layer of oil on the water surface is called sheen and it can kill the aquatic animals and plants that live beneath the water if it is not removed quickly. Photosynthesis uses solar radiation to change water and carbon dioxide into important nutrients that endure plant life. Therefore,…

treatments, and cures such as different types of cancers, screenings, radiation, and chemotherapy were expressed in both. The book provided extensive background knowledge of these topics that we were only able to go through the basics of in class. Along with background, the book was able to gave many personal experience examples of each. The book used quite a few words that I was not able to understand, but with the background we already had from patho it made it much easier to figure out what…
