Dehydration

she was at a party, acting weird, having trouble waking up and potentially took ecstasy. Many parties recently have been using ecstasy for pleasure. The drug has many bad side effects however, including nausea, chills, sweating, muscle cramping, dehydration, high blood pressure, hyperthermia, and several others. 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) also known as ecstasy is a…

Artificial nutrition and hydration should not be used for end of life patients because intravenous hydration can have a negative impact on the quality of their life. According to RJ Ackermann, M.D (Medical Doctor), “There is always a risk when someone is fed through a tube. Liquid might enter the lungs. This can cause coughing and pneumonia… They can become plugged up, causing pain, nausea and vomiting” (Artificial Hydration and Nutrition par. 19). This quote shows that it is risky to use a…

Prednisone: 5mg daily PO. Patient is on this medication for severe inflammation and due to immune suppression from chemo/radiation. (deltasone, meticorten, prednisone intensol) anti-inflammatory med, corticosteroid. Side effects: peptic ulcer/possible perforation, depression, hypertension, circulatory problems, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal distension, hyperglycemia, psychic derangements. Nursing considerations: monitor blood sugar in diabetic patients due to cause’s hyperglycemia. Contact…

Imagine being sick to your stomach every second of every hour of every day. Imagine feeling dehydrated and going to get a drink, just to puke it up a few minutes later. That’s what cholera feels like, except much, much worse. Africa is suffering from this disease, and they can’t do anything about it. We need to help them. People in Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, and many other countries in Africa are suffering from this disease, and they have nothing they can do because they don’t have the technology…

Small-scaled positive changes a person makes daily in their life today can eventually lead to a long-term healthy lifestyle. The human body is composed of about 60% water, however, many people do not drink enough water daily; myself included. The average person drinks about 3.9 cups a day. That’s about 32 ounces or 5 cups short of the daily-recommended amount for women and 9 cups short of the daily-recommended amount for men. Your entire being depends on water to function, thrive, and survive.…

What is the best way to produce a commercial? You make it comical, possibly have a celebrity, or even have some real facts! How about all three, that is what Gatorade did in their “sweat it to get it” commercial. This commercial intends to target almost anyone who enjoys working out, and particularly National Football League fans. It starts with a customer wanting to purchase a Gatorade, but the clerk explains that he didn’t earn it and that you have to “sweat it to get it”. Mid-debate a third…

Dehydration simply means decrease of water or fluid in the body, it occurs when we use lose more fluid or water than we intake daily and our body have no enough water and other fluids to carry out its normal functions. We lose water every day in the form of sweat, urine, and stool. Along with the water, small amounts of salts are also lost. When we lose too much water we may be dehydrated. In some cases, severe dehydration may lead to death. Sweating is the body’s natural way to release excess…

Dehydration is known as the process of removing water. During chemical dehydration covalent sigma bonds are broken into a hydroxyl group and a covalent sigma bond is broken to a hydrogen on an adjacent atom. A covalent pi bond forms between the two atoms on which the OH and H are bound and therefore chemical dehydration forms a new water molecule along with a new double bond. In this experiment 2-methycyclohexanol will react with phosphoric acid, the phosphoric acid will act as a catalyze.…

Our experiment was centered on taking four testing groups and setting a baseline level of dehydration across all four groups. From there each group would be assigned water, coke, Gatorade or remain dehydrated. The test subjects would then consume their assigned drinks based on their body weight. Urine would then be collected at thirty-minute time intervals to measure urine changes. The goal of our experiment was to determine the influence of fluids being introduced into the body of various…

Introduction: The purpose for this experiment is to carry out the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol, which undergoes an E1 mechanism by following Saytzev’s rule to form different product such as 1-methylcyclohexanol, 3-methylcyclohexanol and methylenecyclohexane. The reaction can be dehydrated using sulfuric acid and H3PO4. The dehydration mechanism occurs in several steps like – 1. Converting the OH group into a better leaving group that is deprotonating with H3PO4. 2. Removing a…
