Scientists take the smallest things, and research and analyzes them. Finding out what this little thing do helps give purpose to larger items. In doing this, scientist have gained knowledge on what is called Quantum Mechanics. Quantum Mechanics is known as a branch of physic that analyzes the small.1 The small including atoms, protons, and wavelength. These are all qualities found in the smallest of objects. Quantum Mechanics helps analyzes the smaller things to help produce the bigger things,…

Introduction Weird Al Yankovic’s song and music video for Like a Surgeon, relies on the cultural competences of a primarily American audience in regards to the expected behaviors and actions of medical specialists, such as stereotypes regarding professionalism, competence, and sexuality. These common codes related to doctors, nurses, surgeons etc. are then purposefully disregarded, violating the rule of exclusion in order to create a preferred humorous reading. The video paired with the song…

My patient is a forty-one-year-old female who was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma of the biliary tract. Her secondary diagnosis includes a jujuneostoomy, infection of her incision and wound care. Prior to admission she had a cholecystectomy which required her to be admitted to the hospital to receive skilled nursing care because she cannot care for herself. She has a large abdominal incision that requires packing. Additionally, she requires tube feeding and lots of IV antibiotics. She will be…

Gases, solids, and liquids are the three states that a substance can exist as. A gas does not maintain shape and volume. Gases expand to fit and fill the container. While a liquid maintains volume, but not shape and fits the shape of the container it is placed in. Solids can maintain both volume and shape. When a gas exerts force on the walls of a container, this is known as its pressure. Pressure varies based on temperature and volume. Many gas laws were used within this experiment, such as…

New technological advances have allowed many nurses across the world to do their jobs better. In the past, many nurses lacked education, helpful essentials, and practiced poor care plans that not only put themselves, and their patient in a much worse condition. Now in present day, nurses change lives every day. With new technology, nurses are able to do their jobs safer, and more efficiently by being able to provide better care for each patient, obtaining well education to meet standards, and…

Landon Catlett and Steven Eubanks met face to face in the early morning at a hospital just outside of Portland, Oregon, on February 21, 1996, as Landon was birthed into this world, beginning a new chapter in both of their lives. Little did they know that this was a start to a relationship that would appear unbreakable due to how similar they seemed. However, they also were very different in many aspects which is why I will guide you through a comparison and contrast of Landon Catlett and Steven…

Was More Copper Created? Harshal Patel* and Isaac Cenoz Chem 111-491 Introduction: Copper is one of the most important and diverse elements found in nature all over the world because it can be chemically reacted with many other elements and compounds. The purpose of this experiment was to identify the different reactions that occurred through the lab and the different types of reactions. Throughout the lab, copper was put through series of reactions to see the different combinations and how its…

The overall climate of the Appalchian region can greatly vary depending on which area is being focused on. In most areas, the climate is temperate and humid under 2000ft of elevation, and gets colder as the elevation increases. Also, the climate is temperate as the mountains are in very close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Furthermore, fog is usually present year-round because cold waters from the Labrador Current collide with warm waters from the Gulf Stream. Moreover, the air pushes the…

Effect of Temperature and Substrate Concentration on Catalase Reactions Blake Devivo Biol 101 Lab February 10, 2016 Abstract The human body contains thousands of tiny structures called enzymes that perform specific functions. One enzyme called “Catalase” is often used to regulate the amount of a toxic compound, hydrogen peroxide, in the body. The purpose of this experiment was find the different factors that can affect Catalase-Peroxide reactions. The first part of this experiment…

one hole rubber stopper fitted with a glass tube was fitted into the top of the test tube. A measurement of 5 ml of the Limewater was placed into a graduated cylinder. With test tube holders, a separate test tube was held over the end of the glass tubing to collect the gas produced. The Copper(II)Carbonate was heated until it completely changed its color. The Bunsen Burner was turned off and the Limewater was immediately poured into the test tube used to collect the gas. Observations were…
