function of the whole system of the body (DeLaune and Ladner, 2002).In the process of observations Anne’s vital signs were checked and recorded that pulse 78 beats per minute, temperature- 36 degree Celsius, oxygen saturation 98 percentages and blood pressure 120/70. She was alert and all the observations were recorded on the News chart (RCP,…

Following, participants are instructed to recall a time when they had been betrayed by a parent or primary caregiver. Participants are then taken into the experimental room with a blood pressure cuff to view a video of tropical fish and soft music for 10 minutes. Following the video researchers gave participants the betrayal interview. After the interview participants complete the Act of Forgiveness Scale and the TRIM Inventory. Once completed…

According to Kindig and Stoddart, population health model creates the knowledge and solutions of health differences among different groups. The determinants of health are to explore the distribution of health in different groups to conclude the good or poor outcomes (kindig & Stoddart, 2003). The multiple determinants of health derived from five domains such as the social and economic environment, the physical environment, genetics, medical care, and behavior related health. In book of Jonas and…

A 94 year old female was admitted to the hospital with occurring symptoms of swelling (edema) in the both of the lower legs, shortness of breath (dyspnoea) and recent weight gain due to Congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet the metabolic needs of the body (Figueroa & Peters, 2016). The result of inadequate cardiac output (CO) is poor organ perfusion and vascular congestion in the pulmonary (left-sided failure) and…

to a similar treatment program that differed from the LSVT only in that it emphasized high respiratory effort over high respiratory-phonatory effort. The results of this comparison showed that while LSVT resulted in greater improvements in sound pressure level (SPL) over the alternative program, the other program still contributed to patient improvement in vocal loudness. Since vocal loudness was able to be improved without the phonatory emphasis highlighted in LSVT program, the researchers…

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…

readily accessible resources available to the public. Our plan is to institute a clinic offering regular blood pressure screening to the public that is free of charge. Having a screening clinic readily available to the public could help recognize hypertension at an earlier stage. According to Siu, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening for high blood pressure after the age of 18. There is evidence that screening and treatment completed early for hypertension…

Table 1 reveals the varying resting blood pressures of volunteers 1 and 2 when using a stethoscope and how volunteer 1’s blood pressure varies when using a cardiomicrophone. This is a significant difference between volunteers 1 and 2 and a small difference when using a stethoscope versus cardiomicrophone. Table 2 reveals how blood pressure is affected when the arm is positioned differently; blood pressure is highest when relaxed and fully extended and lowest when arm is held above subject’s…

It is easy for us to neglect the immediate and colossus problems plaguing our world, because the biggest problems, the ones that affect not only our future generations here in America, but the future generations across the globe, seem like they are flames, too bright to look at. We know it is there, yet instead of trying to put out the fires, we turn away, hoping someone else will eventually do it for us. One of the biggest, if not the biggest, flame destroying our world is the unbelievably high…

condition where the force of the blood against the artery walls is high enough, which could cause health complications such as heart diseases. Blood pressure is measured by the amount of blood the heart pumps and the amount of resistance of blood flow in your arteries. The more blood the heart pumps and the narrower the arteries get, the higher the blood pressure. You could have hypertension without showing any symptoms for years, but there will be continuous damage to the blood vessels and…
