also help the patient to maintain their condition. It is very critical to identify the patient’s deficit so as to create an individualized treatment plan. Explaining to the patient that fluid accumulates in the lungs due to the inability of the heart to pump very efficiently is a cause of CHF. (Copstead, 2013). The fluid travels to the lungs and results in shortness of breath (SOB) or makes the feet or ankles to smell. It is important to pay more attention to the symptoms which the patient is…

Swallowing related to gastroesophageal reflux disease as evidenced by heartburn and epigastric pain. (789) Risk for deficient fluid volume related to deviations affecting intake. (337) Imbalanced Nutrition: less than body requirements related to inability to absorb nutrients as evidenced by abdominal pain and cramping. (527) Risk for Constipation related to insufficient fiber or fluid intake. (201) 2. Identify the categories important for a total nutritional assessment. The total assessment…

of microtubules; these grow from an area in the cytoplasm called the basal body. Microtubules are made of a protein called tubulin, alpha has a slightly negative charge and beta has a slightly positive charge. Cilia use repetitive movement to move fluids over the surface of a cell or to move a single cell. One area where cilia are abundant is the respiratory tract, there are more than a billion per square centimetre, and this is because dust and dirt can easily be breathed in. The cilia sweep…

Enteral tube-feeding is a nutritional support method administered to a patient when his or her gastrointestinal tract is operational but unable or reluctant to take enough oral diet. However, this method is cost-effective, but it’s not as simple as it appears. Enteral tube-feeding encounters a number of complications that occur in the process, which ranges from metabolic, gastrointestinal and mechanical problems.

aqueous humor and vitreous humor in maintaining the pressure of the globe, the structures related to the humor, functions of the humors, origin and also pathology related to them. PHYSIOLOGY OF THE AQUEOUS HUMOR The aqueous humour is a transparent fluid similar to plasma, but containing low protein concentrations. It is secreted from the ciliary epithelium (a structure supporting the lens). It is located in the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye, the space between the lens and the…

Introduction The purpose of the experiment is to try to create a “Snake” firework. This firework isn’t explosive but may produce smoke. By mixing baking soda and sugar together, dampening the mixture with lighter fluid, and then igniting the baking soda and sugar mixture, we will produce carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas will then puff up into black carbon ash. The growing of this column of ash is what the snake firework is. What we will be measuring in the experiment is how long we…
