Over the last seventy years or so, the healthcare industry has been working towards the ideal way to treat all patients. Beginning in the 1940’s, researchers were dedicated to treating patients with infections. However, in the more recent years we are trying a different approach. The United State health care industry is emphasizing more about preventing the spread of infection and educating our patients. Regardless of the standard of care, they will need to continue to adjust how nursing can…

Pneumonia is an inflammatory infection of the lungs that primarily affects the microscopic air sacs known as alveoli. Pneumonia is a major health concern in the United States and a key cause of mortality and morbidity. Pneumonia can be acquired in the community, in the hospital environment, by aspiration, or inhalation of infective microorganisms (Cilloniz, Martin-Loeches, Garcia-Vidal, San Jose, and Torres, 2016). The purpose of this paper will be to educate and inform on the pneumonia…

Forty eight million surgical inpatient procedures were done in 2015, and the number has steadily gone up since then. Out of those forty eight million, 7.3 million were for the heart. That means that six of every ten surgeries are for the heart (“data”). The type of surgeon that studies and performs surgeries on the heart and lungs is called a cardiothoracic surgeon. As cardiothoracics (cardio) grows, there happened to be a point when it was not commonly known. Since cardio was not commonly known…

do not see themselves as a supplementary for conventional medicine that can be used collectively. However, nonetheless all-natural treatments are traditional therapies which have been used and developed over hundreds of years. The discovery of penicillin was mainly removed from the market because Antibiotics provided the most effective treatment ever known for the infectious diseases. In Australian general practice Yoga is most accepted complementary treatment modality for referral, until now…

What stood out to me from this week’s continent material are the two movies, “A Classroom Dived” and “Why I Love a Country That Once Betrayed Me.” These movies stick out for the reasons that every minorities group has contributed and sacrifice for the United States of America, to become “free.” Yet, they are all being treated as second-class citizens-denied a “personal freedom”, one way or another. In addition, the “cartoon page” Post -racial America? sums it all issues up, I suppose. The…

The Ascaris worm can be found worldwide but is more common in areas that are warm, most and that has poor sanitation and hygiene (CDC). This would explain why it is uncommon in the U.S., because most areas in the U.S. have some sort of winter. The Ascaris worm is more commonly found on continents like Africa or Asia however, it estimated that at least 4 million people in the United States of America are infected by the Ascaris worm (“Ascariasis”). Since the Ascaris lives in a warmer climate ,…

such as cancer and AIDS are slowly becoming vulnerable to new medicine that is being tested. Advocates of animal research specifically state that animal experimentation has allowed the constant discovery of newer and more efficient medicine such as penicillin, which is used to fight infections or Insulin, which many people with Type 1 diabetes rely on to survive. Those that are against animal experimentation might bring up the…

Objective Review: 1. Describe the purpose for using aseptic technique in collecting specimens Aseptic technique is used to prevent contamination of specimens by pathogenic organisms. The goal of maintaining asepsis is to not introduce any other organisms to the patient and prevent the spread of any organisms the patient may be carrying. Certain practices are used to help decrease this from occurring including cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting. Aseptic technique is an important process to…

et al., 2012 from the American Family Physicians recommends seven to ten days of oral acyclovir and five days for recurrent episodes or Famciclovir and valacyclovir for alternative therapies. The CDC (2011) recommends one dose of intramuscular penicillin G benzathine to treat genital ulcers caused by primary syphilis; for chancroid, a single dose of intramuscular ceftriaxone or oral azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, or erythromycin; lymphogranuloma venereum and donovanosis are treated with 21 days…

Should animals be tested on or not? Many people have differing opinions. Some say it is cruel and unnecessary, while others say we need it in order to save many more lives. By using animal testing in a humane way we as humans will greatly benefit from it while also sometimes helping the animals. Animal testing is a good way to test medical things because it saves human lives, the advancements can supplement but not replace animal testing, and it advances the medical industry. Mostly…
