Turn 2 Foundation

Same as in research, once researchers gather enough information to support a hypothesis, they can develop a foundation to predict the result in similar situations with a certain degree of accuracy. There are two aspects of generalizability. Generalizing to a population and generalizing to a theory. In nursing research, for generalizability, nurses need a study…

The scenario that has been chosen here is scenario 1, Anne Baptiste with type 2 diabetes. For type 2 diabetes the pancreas produces insulin, but the body’s insulin receptors cannot respond accordingly, therefore blood glucose levels remain high after food as glucose in unable to enter most tissue cells. The signs and symptoms that people with type 2 diabetes could experience could include yeast infections, lower extremity paresthesias, polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, blurred vision, fatigue,…

There is one thing you don’t know about sugar and everybody says it endlessly but nobody listens to it? Sugar is bad for you and you could get diseases or worse. We Americans need to stop eating too much sugar. Sugar has been around since 1803 that’s when the first candy was made. Sugar is bad for people because when people eat too much they might have memory loss or diabetes tooth decay is another way. In the events of sugar the most dangerous things are getting diseases. The most common…

Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a condition of the blood vessels that supply the legs and feet. It leads to narrowing and hardening of the arteries. This causes decreased blood flow, which can injure nerves and other tissues. Diabetes is a leading cause of PVD, as well as other factors such as smoking, high cholesterol, hypertension, and diet and weight. Too much glucose in your blood from diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor blood flow, which can lead to serious foot problems. Nerve…

year), usually caused by a vascular insult but exacerbated by heredity, nutrition, inflammation, etc., is when blood supply to the femoral head and hip joint is stopped, the hip joint becomes “inflamed, stiff and painful”, and portions of the bone turn into dead tissue. 2nd, the fragmentation phase (lasting 1-3 years), when the body starts replacing these dead bone cells with new bone cells, but the joint remains inflamed and painful. 3rd, the reossification phase (lasting 1-3 years), when…

Addison’s disease is also known as Primary adrenal insufficiency. It is a long-term endocrine disorder happens in the adrenal glands. There are two adrenal glands, they are located on the top of each kidney. The adrenal gland has 2 part: the inner part is the medulla, the outer part is the cortex. The medulla secrets the catecholamines and cortex secret aldosteron, cortisol and androgen. Aldosteron regulate the potassium and sodium level by increasing sodium and water reabsorption in the…

About 60 out of every 1 million people are suffering from acromegaly at this very moment. In order to decrease such high numbers acromegaly should be educated to all individuals. 6 years, is the average year of time it takes for a patient with acromegaly to receive and accurate diagnosis. For treatment to take affect individuals should consider the causes, symptoms, how it’s diagnosed, preventing acromegaly and getting treated immediately. When treatment is in the process, life expectancy…

Several factors are known to increase the risk of developing DR. These include the duration of diabetes, poor glycemic control, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, pregnancy, elevated glycated hemoglobin-A1c (HbA1c) and tobacco use (2). In addition, there are many molecular players that contribute to the development of DR and can be considered as a risk factor in its pathogenesis. These factors include elevated levels of Th1 cytokines and growth factors, which are elevated even prior…

Diabetes is a condition caused by too much of glucose in the blood. In this condition, either body does not produce insulin or cells do not respond properly to the insulin that produced by the pancreas. Nearly 347 million people worldwide have diabetes, and the number is still growing. Studies proved that people with insufficient blood glucose control seem to develop oral disease more often than people who have good control over their diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes can put a person under a…

skill. Research Questions and Hypotheses Based on the topic selected the following research questions and hypotheses have been derived. 1. Is structured teaching effective on improving the competency level of self-insulin injection among DM2Type 2 diabetes patients, based on their knowledge and skill? H_0 1: The structured teaching is effective on improving the competency level of self-insulin injection among DM2 patients based on their knowledge and skill. H_1 1: The structured teaching…
