and Chloride. However sodium chloride is a vital electrolyte commonly present in plasma, blood and lymph fluid. The functions of this electrolyte include maintaining the complete amount of water in the body and maintains the nerve and muscle function and regulates the blood capacity. Electrolytes are gained by our diet as some of the foods we eat hold the minerals that when dissolved in the fluids within our body electrolytes are formed. However electrolytes are lost through urine, sweat,…

M.D, argues that in some cases artificial nutrition and hydration should be used because it provides nutrition and fluids for the patient to help them live and function longer. Arenella states “A person who has a mechanical blockage of his/her mouth, esophagus, or stomach … is likely to benefit if a tube is placed below the blockage in order to be able to receive nutrition and fluids … When a blocked bowel develops … TPN has been helpful in allowing that person to live and function longer than…

TERMINOLOGY CLINICAL CLARIFICATION • Systemic illness due to microbial infection that can lead to acute organ dysfunction or failure and associated with host immune response to infection CLASSIFICATION • There is a disease continuum with increasing severity if not treated or not responsive to treatment o Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) - Documented or suspected infection with systemic manifestations of infection - Clinical response to a nonspecific insult of either infectious or…

second day, started gradually declining, before slowly rising again during the fifth day. Digitalis helps a malfunction heart beat more efficiently, therefore helping the fluid move along within the body and aldosterone is not needed as much ("Digoxin",…

Introduction Sepsis is a serious infection of the blood or tissues that affects the whole body. Septic shock is the final, most serious stage of this infection. It is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment. What are the causes? Septic shock is caused by a drop in blood pressure. The drop keeps your organs from getting enough oxygen, causing them to fail. What increases the risk? You are more likely to develop this condition if: You are very young or elderly. You have AIDS or…

believed that bats are the likely reservoir of the virus. “Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea in West Africa have experienced the largest Ebola epidemic in history” (Nursingworld 2015). EVD can be transmitted through direct contact with blood or bodily fluids of a person with EVD or, via contact with contaminated objects. Should a patient with Ebola Virus Disease receive CPR? I would have to say, no. Although, nurses in all settings…

these changes we are asking of the individual. A good example for me is when I was talking with a patient a while back. This patient is what you we as nurse will call a frequent flyer. She is in and out of the hospital for congestive heart failure in fluid over load, so I asked her are you weighing yourself daily,…

A coelomate has a fluid filled body cavity, which is completely lined by the mesoderm. The organs of a coelomate are suspended within the fluid filled body cavity. This provides protection from any shock put on the organs. This fluid also provides shape to animals without a hard skeleton. Animals like Arthropoda and Echinodermata are examples of coelomates. Acoelomates lack internal cavities and fluid altogether. Their organs are located within the mesoderm which means less protected from shock…

The performance of bottle rockets can be controlled by a multitude of factors. To understand these factors, mathematics can show us how they interact and how they affect performance. Water Bottle Rockets are mainly used for educational purposes in schools. They are used to explore basic aerodynamics and physics. Water rockets demonstrate many different forces such as weight, thrust, lift, and drag. Basic parts of a common bottle rocket include a nose cone, fins, a base, and a launcher used to…

65mmHg indicates that Shirley’s organs are receiving adequate perfusion and that vasodilation and hypotension due to cell mediation and decreased fluid volume is no longer occurring. Her urine output has increased from 35ml an hour to 50ml an hour due to reperfusion of her kidneys. Administration of intravenous fluids assisted to rehydrate tissues and expand fluid volume in her body. Shirley’s GCS has returned to her baseline of 15/15. Her brain is better able to receive oxygen due to return of…
