Symptomatic treatment

to become anxious since they cannot take a deep enough breath. In children with acute dyspnea, mention changes can also occur. As a result, prolonged dyspnea can lead to other clinical manifestation such as acid-base imbalance (respiratory acidosis), fatigue, issues with perfusion, and nutrition alterations. Nurses should be able to know what to do if the child has dyspnea. One of the first line treatments are pain medications (especially with acute dyspnea). If a child is having acute dyspnea, they should be rushed to the hospital setting. The nurse should advocate for the patient by telling the other medical workers of the palliative care status. During the initial hospital stay such drugs like anxiolytics or benzodiazepines can be administer to with feelings of distress. Crozier and Hancock (2012), state that a nebulized opioid may provide relief for some children, and fentanyl may be more effective than other inhaled options. Furthermore, if a child already has a lung disease they should be administered bronchodilators and systemic steroids to provide initial dyspnea treatment. While providing drug therapy, the child should be on oxygen therapy, and constant oxygen saturation monitoring. Arterial blood gas should also be checked, and assessing for any types of manifestations such as mental status alterations. The head of bed should be raised, and the child should be taught deep breathing techniques (in creative ways). Other option such as a CPAP or BiPAP machine may be…

Water is in everything that we do. As you wake up in the morning one of the first things that you do is brush your teeth, another may be showering, or washing clothes that you plan on wearing that day. All of those daily activities are dependent on water. We as humans are completely and solely dependent on water as well. A human can survive only a very limited amount of time without water before our bodies begin to shut down. When it comes to surviving it is human nature to take care of…

communities need to prevent phosphor and nitrogen rich nutrients from entering the lake (Lake Atitlan 2015). In addition, Tule reeds and other wetland plants can mitigate the problem after being planted. While those are important to know, there are some more obvious ways of preventing further growth of the cyanobacteria. The Lake Atitlan towns need to stop pouring polluted water into the lake. Trash should be brought to the dump instead of washed into the water and pipes should not stream sewage…

people and the environment. THE PROCESSES. The government manages sewage which undergoes processes. This processes include, Intel works (screening), primary treatment (balance tanks), secondary treatment (the bioreactor), third stage (clarifiers) and the final stage (the bioreactor and disinfection). The lack of safe water and sanitation in cities leads to diseases and infection. Therefore, the wastewater treatment should be carried out. Everyday, everywhere toilets are flushing, washing…

This method may cost too much to modify machines, and hiring experts may waste time. In this case, to achieve the goal of fully successful waste-water treatment, it is essential to build a small secondary sewage treatment plant, which the cost is unseasonable high, and the complex operations management must also be equipped with professional worker, which greatly limits its widely used. I doubt any firm will be willing to pay this extra efforts to to use this method to eliminate waste-water. …

Medical tourism is a type of touristic travel which involves a person who lives in one country to travel to another country to receive medical aid. Medical procedures taken abroad have a variety in options like dentistry, hip replacement, cosmetic surgeries, oncology, cardiology, cardiovascular surgeries, cancer treatments, scans, orthopedics and neurology. Popular sites that are the hot spot for undergoing medical procedures, in increasing to decreasing order, are primarily started off with…

resulted into many issues regarding health and social life of people. Water resource depletion in Lahore: Lowering of water table in Lahore: Excessive pumping is fast depleting ground water in the city. The Irrigation Department estimates that the water table is decreasing by nearly three feet per year. WWF-Pakistan Water Security says that the solution to the problem lies in rainwater harvesting. It can help reduce the impact of massive urbanisation. However, political will and legislation…

Introduction The purpose of this assignment was to determine whether a site located on LIT Tipperary’s Thurles campus, was suitable or not for an onsite wastewater treatment system. The assessment onsite predicts the wastewater flow through the subsoil and into the subsurface materials if a wastewater treatment system was to be put in place (EPA, 2009). The site characterisation process our class used is only applicable to a single house. I was assigned to the T3 test hole. The result in the…

Finding efficient methods of heavy metals from a contaminated water source is crucial for achieving clean drinking water. Heavy metals tend to accumulate in living organisms and cause health disorders and diseases3, 7, 11. Unlike organic contaminates, heavy metals do not degrade and therefore are not easily removed from the water system. For this reason, most large-scale water treatment facilities rely on coagulation to chemically precipitate metals from the source water and by sieve…

When the basic human right of over a hundred thousand people is forcibly taken away, mental and physical strains come into play. In the wealthiest country, it is almost unimaginable that such a tragedy should happen in the United States. A small town just outside of Detroit, Flint, Michigan is suffering from the worst case of lead poisoning in the states since the 1970’s. What was once a prosperous city due to the automobile industry is now left poverty stricken.After this, the city was forced…
