Osmotic pressure

increased blood pressure and increased temperature (Hinkle & Cheever, 2014). 3) Cheyne-Stokes respirations (Hinkle & Cheever, 2014). 4) Loss of brain stem reflexes (Hinkle & Cheever, 2014). 8. List two medication classifications that the ICU nurse could use to control or reduce increased ICP. For each medication, describe the primary action of each, identify major and frequent side effects that the nurse needs to monitor the patient for. (8 points – [4 points for each medication]) • Osmotic…

Blood enters the capillaries of the nephron through the afferent arteriole. It then flows through the glomerulus and into the efferent arteriole. The varying sizes of these arterioles help to create the hydrostatic pressure and to maintain consistency of glomerular capillary pressure and renal blood flow within the glomerulus Before returning to the renal vein, blood from the efferent arteriole enters the peritubular capillaries and the vasa recta and flows slowly through the cortex and…

the plasma volume of the individual fifteen to twenty minutes following consumption. At this stage the osmolarity of the individual will drop since the amount of water present in the plasma has increased, this will also lead to an increase in blood pressure of the individual. Due to the shift in osmolarity in the body the osmorecptors in the Hypothalamus of the brain will send a signal to the Posterior Pituitary, this signal will cease the release of ADH and allow any remaining ADH in the body…

Oxybutynin Chemical structure Mode of action and pharmacology Oxybutynin is an antimuscarinic, antispasmodic medicine that is used to relieve urinary symptoms caused by an overactive bladder. An over active bladder is caused by involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle surrounding the bladder causing it to empty unnecessarily. The detrusor muscle helps control normal working functions by relaxing and contracting as the bladder fills and empties. Symptoms include…

transmission. The odometer is one important federal device that cannot be changed. It is controlled by a stepper motor that runs when the vehicle is in motion. The information on there cannot be changed. The next is the oil pressure gauge. It tells you if you have enough oil pressure for the engine to operate efficiently. Normal operating is between 45 to 75 psi while the engines is operating and at the correct temperature. The coolant gauge gives you the temperature of the engines cooling…

28g, the mass mixing ratio would be lower than the volume mixing ratio. a) m=F/a m=101300/9.8=10,336 An estimate of the total mass of a column of the atmosphere with a base area of 1m2 is 10,336kg. b) for a 1m2 column at average surface pressure of 985mb: m= 98500/9.8=10,051 kg Surface area of the Earth: 4π (6370)^2=509,904,363.8 =5.1 x 〖10〗^8 〖km〗^2 =5.1 x 〖10〗^14 m^2 5.1x〖10〗^(14 ) x 10,051=5.13 x 〖10〗^18 kg The…

1. Compare two poems that were not present as pairs on our syllabus but were assigned on different days. How do these poems speak to one another? Two poems that were not present as pairs in our syllabus that have some things in common would be, Fond Memory and Marks. In Marks, it talks about a mom being graded by her family on things she does. In the poem, she writes, “My husband gives me an A, for last night's supper, an incomplete for my ironing, a B-plus in bed.” This is a common…

people in 2013.2 Being the national leading cause of death, CVD kills one Australian every 12 minutes.2 The main types of CVD are coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart failure.3 It is estimated that 4.6 million Australian adults have high blood pressure which is a major risk factor for CVD, accounting for 32% of the population.2 Salt is a chemical compound made up of sodium and chloride. It is commonly used to season and preserve foods in both the food industry and private homes. People…

Decompressive Craniectomy and the Return of Functionality in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients with Increased Intracranial Pressure The brain and its surrounding protective bony layer provide for a unique situation with regards to traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Unlike other tissue in the body, which are free to expand outwards when inflammation or trauma occurs, the brain cannot. In the average adult, the cranial vault has the ability to accommodate for up to 1500mL of volume. When cerebral…

Introduction Vapor pressure is the pressure of a vapor (gas) at equilibrium; equilibrium occurs when there is no net change between the amount of liquid and the amount of vapor because they balance each other. When the temperature of water becomes extremely low, as it does in this experiment, the rate of vaporization does not matter. The objective of this experiment is to determine the experimental heat of vaporization and compare it to the accepted heat of vaporization of water (40.7 kj/mol).…
