placement of a Central Venous Access Device. With proper technique and licensed staff placing a central venous access device, the risk for complications can be minimized. Champions for Central Line Care is a journal that explains “the team approach for reducing CLABSIs. (Reed, Brock, & Anderson, 2014, p. 40)” CLABSI can be defined as a Central Line-Associated Blood Stream Infection (Giddens, 2014, p. 469). These infections are generally seen within 48 hours after insertion of a central line.…

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, progressive, degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. This disorder usually affects young adults between the ages of 20 and 40. Multiple frequency of occurrence is rare, .1% currently afflicts about 400,000 in the United States and 1 million worldwide. The cause of multiple sclerosis is unknown, but it is likely that multiple factors act in concert to trigger or perpetuate the disease. It has been hypothesized that multiple sclerosis results when an…

The Federal Reserve System, also known as the Federal Reserve, is the central banking system of the United States. Due to a series of financial crises with many banks, especially the one in 1907, the Federal Reserve was created in December 1913. The many crises led to “panics” which caused people to run tot heir banks and withdraw all of their money. During those times when one bank failed, the same would happen to other banks, which caused customers of other banks to withdraw everything, even…

Management of Central Lines Sarah Dunbar, Lourie Grijalva, Brittany Matthews, Megen Price, & Lauren Sapp Introduction According to the Joint Commission (2012, p. v), Central Venous Catheters (CVCs) are the most frequent cause of healthcare-associated bloodstream infections, and about 3 million are placed in the United States annually. A central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is an infection in the blood that develops as a result of introducing bacteria into these…

The human body consists of two nervous systems: Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and the spinal cord, whereas, the PNS consists of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. The PNS connects the rest of the body to the CNS. The PNS are grouped into two categories, sensory (afferent) nerves and motor (efferent) nerves. Sensory nerves convey information from receptors to the CNS. Motor nerves convey information from the CNS to the…

The Central Nervous System is the most important organ system in the human body because it is how we control our body. It consists of the spinal cord, nerve cells, and parts of the brain (Organ System Skit). “The nervous system takes in information through our senses, processes the information and triggers reactions, such as making your muscles move or causing you to feel pain” (How Does the Nervous System Work? NCBI). In addition, when the body wants to move, the brain sends a message to the…

Summery Research indicates that Central lines are the ultimate choice of intravenous access for a critically ill patient for more than a century. Critical care patients who need reliable access for multiple infusions or invasive monitoring, oncology patient who receives long-term chemotherapy, and home health patients for long-term antibiotic therapy are depended on availability of such line. The gift of having a reliable access does not come without consequences. Besides the usual…

differences between the Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)? Discuss the activities the nervous system is responsible for. In my research about the differences of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system is that the central nervous system, also known as CNS, controls the entire body. The central nervous system deals with the brain and spinal cord. It also controls everything we need to survive on a daily basis. The central nervous system…

Central Processing Unit (CPU) which is made up of three major components, the arithmetic/logic unit (ALU), the control unit (CU) and memory by combining the ALU and CU together you get the CPU), (Englander, I. 2014). The arithmetic/logic unit holds data temporary and where calculation are processed the control units controls and deciphers the execution command and follow the instruction that goes with the sequence of actions. The control unit determines the particular instruction to be…

When all of these parts work together, they have control of the body. The brain and the spinal cord are two major organs that make up the central nervous system. The nervous systems relationship with the other systems is giving them the right information. Communication throughout the body is a vital part to nervous system. Information is sent from the central nervous system to the other parts of the body, which will let each organ function properly. The make up of the nervous system is a very…
