Unit Seven Workbook Assignment Chapter 12: Diseases and Conditions of the Reproductive System SYPHILIS A patient has been diagnosed with syphilis. The practice has printed instructions for patients diagnosed with this condition. The physician has instructed you to provide the patient with the printed information and to review it with her. How do you approach this patient-teaching opportunity? I would emphasize to the patient that with Syphilis infection, taking the prescribed course of antibiotics until completion is important.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) may be difficult to diagnose. A health care provider may order tests to identify the infection-causing organism (e.g., chlamydial or gonorrheal infection) or a pelvic ultrasound is a helpful procedure for diagnosing PID. After observing diagnostic test results the health care provider will determine and prescribe the best therapy. PID can be cured with several types of antibiotics. “Samples of the bacteria from the upper genital tract are difficult to obtain and because many different organisms may be responsible for PID” (Stoppler 2012).
-Measure Oxygen Saturation In assessing Josh’s breath sounds the nurse should ask him to perform which action? -Breathe deeply through the mouth To measure capillary refill the nurse must perform which action? -Compress Josh’s nailbed The nurse plan’s to measure Josh’s oxygen saturation with a spring-tension finger clip. While the nurse is explaining the procedure Josh asks if it will hurt. Which response is best for the nurse to provide?
If a woman is unaware of this it can 5ther to be infertile or she can have a life-threatening tubal pregnancy. 3 One major obstacle to the making of a vaccine is chlamydia’s sneaky way of wreaking disorder on the body. Chlamydia does not damage tissues directly; they extract a keen immune response that attempts to rein in the infection through inflammation for as long as the bacteria remain in the body as a substitute. This way of fighting the infection essentially brings on the long-term damage. Vaccines prevent illness by priming the immune system to react powerfully to specific disease-causing agents, but in this case, the inflammatory component of such a response can cause more harm than good.
When Mrs. Elli Baker comes to the emergency room after collapsing in her backyard it is imperative that as a nurse you do an immediate assessment of her. The assessment should include vital signs and placing Mrs. Baker on a cardiac monitor. Being able to see what her blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiratory rate and oxygen level will help you as a nurse to prioritize what interventions need to be done and in what order they need to take place. Placing a pulse ox on an index finger that isn’t cold since that can give a false reading is very important. A pulse ox is a good way to see what her oxygen saturation is along with checking her capillary refill, listening to lung sounds, and color of her skin around her lips and under her nails beds.
In this paper will teach how learn how Bloom’s Taxonomy applies in a case study, how it is a benefit to nursing instructions and will describe each domain. The case study is with Ms. C, a 64 year- old postop open cholecystectomy with respiratory failure. It is stated that ((Burton & Larkin, 2008) “Ms. C underwent surgery without complication; however, in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) she required extra oxygen therapy. Despite her need for oxygen, she was transferred to the postoperative unit without oxygen.” The nurses did not transfer the patient with oxygen, communicate that she needed oxygen, and it lead to other events of miscommunication among staff members.
One nursing-sensitive indicator is the development of pressure ulcers. Nursing-sensitive indicators represent nursing’s contribution to patient care. The primary nurse caring for Mr. J did not appear to have a great understanding of this nursing-sensitive indicator as demonstrated by the patient laying in restraints for extended periods of time without justification as to why. Patients at an increased risk of pressure ulcers either from age, mobility and/or nutritional status should have measures in place for monitoring and preventing breakdown. When the CNA ambulated the patient to the bathroom the family noticed a reddened area to the patients back and due to the lack of education of the CNA, this was not taken seriously.
Some doctors report that they feel obligated to provide a prescription to a patient, even when the cause of the illness is not yet proven to be bacterial (Bersch, 2010). In some countries, antibiotics are available without a prescription, further flooding the population with inappropriate medications without proper dosing and length of therapy (WHO, n.d.). This issue seems almost impossible to remedy, because in countries where access to medical care is limited, patients would otherwise die of simple infections if not for easy access to
They are different methods of soaps in the clinical area; it is the nurse role to decide whether social hand washing or aseptic hand washing or alcohol hand gel is the best method when treating the patient. (Jamieson 2007). Under the new “Zero Tolerance” if nurse do not wash their hands when treating the patients before or after any type of procedure, the nurse could automatically get sacked due to the rules of preventing the super bug set out by the Department of Health (DOH). (Irvine 2008). All nurses must understand and implement proper hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of bacteria and viruses in the hospital or any other health care environment.
Module 8 Essay “Choose a medical condition that interest you and research it. Write about the possible uses of hypnosis in the treatment of the condition as you see them.” Module 8 Essay “Choose a medical condition that interest you and research it. Write about the possible uses of hypnosis in the treatment of the condition as you see them.” In this essay I am going to look at breast cancer. I will be exploring the issues that patients dealing with this condition may come up against and what, if anything, hypnosis can do to help them deal with their condition. I have talked to my partner in detail about his mother who died of breast cancer.
