Pressure

Peer pressure is difficult to withstand during teenage years, especially when teenagers are on their own far away from parents or guardians. In Marjane Satrapi’s memoir, Persepolis, the chapter titled “The Croissant”, does not suit the story in the chapter because most of the events that happened in the chapter have nothing to do with a "croissant ". The story was about a young girl named Marji, who was sent abroad by her parents during her early teenage years to study because of a war in her…

provides appropriate organ and tissue perfusion at rest and at times of stress by regulation of blood pressure (BP). BP can be expressed as the product of cardiac output (CO) and peripheral resistance. The arterial pressure level at any given time reflects the composite activities of the heart and the peripheral circulation.(Jones, 2004). Nervous system, hormonal and Kidney factors control blood pressure. 1. Nervous System 1.1 CO – Cardiac output CO may be increased or decreased by…

applying pressure to the skin for ten seconds then releasing the pressure to observe the elasticity of the skin and tissue in the swollen areas (Nicholson 2007). There was a slight swelling in the ankles, however her abdomen was not distended during the initial observation from the care team. Jill was also on diuretics to help her clear water from her body which caused the oedema before. Ascites if not treated in time can cause liver dysfunction as the build-up fluid puts too much pressure on…

INTRODUCTION How do the actions and words of a society affect the way people act? In Never Let Me Go, author Kazuo Ishiguro depicts a society in which individuality is threatened by the pressure to conform through methods such as peer pressure and social expectations. Without a doubt, peer pressure is most commonly found in schools today, just as social expectations are suffocating the middle class’ desire to become their own unique person. If conformity means to “conform to a social role……

of time. P=Pressure (P1-P2) The amount of force placed on an artery at any given point in time. R= resistance Is the force that must be overcome for flow to occur. Describe the basic flow equation and resistance equation as they relate to vascular flow. b. Define Poiseuille’s Equation, and describe the effect on blood flow of a change in each variable. Poiseuille's equation states that the velocity of the steady flow of a fluid through a narrow tube varies directly as the pressure and the…

to peer influences normally involve transactions rather than simple acceptance or rejection, and that responses can vary depending upon many factors including the nature of the peer relationship.” Peer pressure is a common term that Brown, Clasen, et al. (1986), explained in “the feelings of pressure that teens experience when they are…

case, the effectors were his sweat glands, opening up to cool the temperature and the blood rushing to the skin to also try to cool him off. 2. Mark’s low blood pressure can be explained by the fluid loss by sweating. Since Mark was not able to rehydrate the fluids he lost, the fluids in his blood decreased and thus his blood pressure decreased. After some time the body stops sweating to reserve the fluid for other important functions, which explains why he was not sweating. 3.…

A stunning number of people in the U.S. cope with high blood pressure; over 74 million have it. The condition is currently the number one cause of strokes and a leading contributor to heart attacks. Also known as hypertension, most people don't even realize they have it until they visit their doctor for a normal checkup. Below, we'll explore how your arteries work, who is at risk of developing high blood pressure, and the difference between essential and secondary hypertension. Your Arteries…

medication. The nurse took Mr. Nester blood pressure and it was noted to be extremely elevated. Although Mr. Nester reports he has been following up with his physician every three months and he has been on his antihypertensive medication for the past five years. Mr. Nester reports to the nurse that his blood pressure reading are usually higher than the current reading. Mr. Nester stated there is no help with taking medications to help control his blood pressure reading. According to Mr. Nester,…

According to Stansfield, (2014) the pressure is gently released as the pulse is checked. The pulse beat after cuff released allows measurement to be taken, giving a blood pressure reading. The reading is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and is written as two numbers. The systolic pressure is recorded as the top number and diastolic bottom. For example if the reading is 120 when muscle contracts (systolic pressure) and 80 when muscle relaxes (diastolic pressure), the reading is…
