Anatomic display of intracranial vasculature, allowing for planning of further therapy and surgical approach if necessary ○ Lumbar puncture 2 – General explanation □ Sampling of cerebral spinal fluid for clinical suspicion of subarachnoid hemorrhage. – Indication □ Only indicated…

used the mixture she was preparing for a different patient. Lucy is shocked that the solution had penicillin admixture. Having been resuscitated earlier for using IV fluid containing penicillin, Mr. X should not be subjected to further risks of suffering another respiratory arrest. The major problem is that Anne has given Mr. X IV fluid with penicillin, which is risky to his…

induced earthquakes are clearly a reason for concern as they present a seismic hazard. Industrial activity has for a long period of time been a known cause for earthquakes, impoundment of reservoirs, surface and underground mining, and withdrawal of fluids from the subsurface are all examples of how industry can alter the tectonic movement of earth’s crust without intending to do so (Ellsworth 2013). Hydraulic fracturing is another industrial process that…

Fracking is a cheaper and more harmful way for us to get oil out of the ground. It has caused just as much bad as good, if not more. The chemicals in the Fracking Fluid can leak into our water, poison our loved ones, and pollute our environment. Fracking should be illegal due to its detrimental effects on the environment and people. Here’s a “fun,” fact; each fracking job uses between one to eight million gallons of water and over forty thousand gallons of chemicals (Source 2). Imagine the…

Hydrops Fetalis is a rare condition that happens to 1 out of 1,000 pregnancies. It is a serious condition that is abnormal amounts of fluid buildup in one or more body areas. The diagnosis for this condition can be through an ultrasound during the second trimester.

Immune Hydrops Fetalis is a…

HIV is not spread easily; HIV can only be passed on through certain body fluids from a HIV-infected person. The list of body fluids possible to contract HIV is blood, semen (cum), pre seminal fluid (pre-cum), rectal fluids, vaginal fluids and breast milk. The body fluids listed must come into contact with a mucous membrane or a damaged tissue or HIV injected directly into your bloodstream for transmission of HIV to possibly…

Breaks are not something people take the time to think about. Even if they are fundamental to the vehicles many people use every day. The functionality of breaks is contributed to physics and engineers ability to understand that physics. There is a lot going on when people press on the brake pedal in their car. The most basic principle of brake pads is in fact friction. This friction is the thing that transfers the energy of the car moving forward to heat energy. Brakes also use pressure as a…

Providing safe and effective health care relies on the registered nurses (RN) ability to make appropriate clinical decisions in all aspects of health care (Noon, 2014). Fluid and electrolyte imbalance is a serious and life threatening side effect, which is common in elderly patients with comorbidities (LeMone et al., 2011). The use of the clinical decision making cycle prevents adverse patient outcomes (LeMone et al., 2011). Clinical decision-making is defined as the ability to filter and…

As we age, our bodies tend to slow down and produce much less of the gooey liquid known as synovial fluid, which lubricates our joints. Synovial fluid is like a clear and slippery water that is filled with lipids (predominant fat) and proteins, which cushion the cartilage, permitting the joints to move conveniently. As these main fluids shrink, wear on the cartilage increases, causing joint pains, weak spot and inflammation. Joint ache is particularly original and may restrict one from dwelling…
