Deep vein

that causes improper functioning of the vein valves in the leg. This is a condition when the venous wall or valves in leg are not working effectively, this makes it difficult for blood to return to the heart. This eventually causes blood to “pool” in your veins, this is known as stasis. This disease causes swelling, skin changes, and ulcers. CVI most commonly occurs as the result of a blood clot in the deep veins of the legs, a disease known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This disease is more…

This essay will be based on a case study that focuses on a registered nurse and the care that was given to one of her patients which will include patterns of knowing and bioethical principles, which should have informed the nurse about the possible actions she could have chosen for a possibly better outcome for the patient. Four elements of negligence that must be met in order for the nurse to be considered legally negligent. Along with the (NMBA) nursing and midwifery board of Australia 's…

Present the following to the class: 1 Your research question 2 The title of the article 3 The type of research design that is described in the article. Why is this design appropriate for the study? How have the researchers enhanced strengthen rigor in this specific study? 1. In acute settings (P) compression stockings (I) as a type of mechanical prophylaxis provide better DVT prophylaxis (O) compared to heparin or any other type (C) of chemical protection? 2. Prevention of Venous…

patient also had a White Blood Cell Local Study NM which is an imaging test that uses a radioactive material. How it works is that blood is drawn from the vein and the white blood cells are separated from the rest of the blood sample and then mixed with a small amount of indium-111. The tagged white blood cells are injected back into the body through a vein and the cells will gather in areas of inflammation or infection and scans will be taken three hours’…

old. He has a medical history of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and left total knee replacement. Mr. Browne is admitted to surgical ward for right knee arthroplasty (total knee replacement). This paper discusses the role of the nurse in preventing deep vein thrombosis in both Pre and post-operative care. The paper is presented using Gibbs reflective cycle, which was developed by Professor Graham Gibbs (Wilding, 2008). The Gibb’s reflective cycle have 6 stages namely description, feelings,…

diagnosed on time. The truth is, anyone can suffer a PE or deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is the most common trigger for PE. The recent striking rise in cases of PE has provoked me to focus on this and thus alert every person possible to follow every possible preventive measure to avoid /delay becoming a victim of PE. As stated by Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), certain conditions heightens the risk, which include injury to vein due to fractures, severe muscle injury or major…

to them that their safety is my concern. However, I will reassure my patients also that they can have a shower as soon as they become stable because immobility can also be another risk factor for complications after surgery such as bed pressures, deep vein thrombosis and chest infection. Assessing the situation properly will give me valid and justifiable rationale whether it is time to mobilize the patient after surgery to prevent complication due to immobility and hasten their independence for…

It is my great pleasure to write this supporting letter for Dr. Tomokazu Amano’s application for an assistant professor position. Currently, I am the Principle Investigator (Title: Senior Research Fellow) in the MRC Centre for Reproductive Health, University of Edinburgh, UK. The interests of my laboratory are to understand the epigenetic reprogramming that occurs during the oocyte-to-zygote transition, pre-implantation stages and the establishment of totipotency/pluripotency. I have known…

internal jugular veins as well. As the external jugular veins descend through the lateral neck, they pass obliquely over the sternocleidomastoid muscles and then empty into the subclavian veins. The brachiocephalic vein a vein that returns oxygen-depleted blood from the upper limbs, neck, and head to the heart. There is a brachiocephalic vein on the left side of the neck and one on the right. The two brachiocephalic veins merge together with the azygos vein, which carries deoxygenated blood from…

Obstructive Shock Shock is typically described as blood flow that is inadequate to meet the oxygen concentration for normal functioning of the body tissues. Obstructive shock in this case results from mechanical obstruction of the left ventricle stopping the flow of blood out of the heart. With the limited blood flow, the tissues results in anaerobic metabolism since there is limited supply of oxygen. The anaerobic respiration produces a lot of carbon dioxide together with the inherent…
