Pain was no longer controlled with oral morphine sustained release (MST) tablets, 30 mg, and amitriptyline tablets, 25 mg, or there was excessive sedation or other side effects, which were unacceptable to the patient, despite adequate pain control. Patients with coagulopathies, allergy to the contrast dye or phenol; patients receiving radiation or chemotherapy within 4 weeks of the neurolytic block; and patients with moderate or major cardiac/respiratory incapacitating disease or hepatic or renal dysfunction were excluded. The patients were admitted to the hospital ward. An 18 G intravenous catheter was inserted; they received a pre-procedural 1000 mL lactated ringer solution. All patients were then transported to the x-ray room, and received conscious sedation with midazolam 0.1 mg/ kg and fentanyl 1 ug/kg.
Abigail Zuger deduced that it was due to the fact that he was not taking a medication she prescribed, a white pill that was making the patient feel ill by ingestion. Abigail Zuger knew from the way the patient was discussing the medication that he had probably not taken one in some time. She concluded that since the patient had probably not been taking the medication he was feeling nauseated and explains to the patient that if he does not start taking the medication he could end up in the hospital.

As I looked at the open boxes of small, medium, and large gloves I thought to myself “can’t anyone come and reach in a box and potentially spread any bacteria, fungi, or viruses from their hands to the inside and inner edges of the box.” Gloves are theoretically supposed to protect from spreading infectious agents between patients and healthcare professionals. So, what if a nurse actually exposed more infectious agents to a patient with one of the most common items used to prevent the spread of infectious agents. How ironic, I thought. Looking online, I seeked articles specifically on microorganisms that can be found on the non-sterile unused gloves.

So what are the causes of these infections and how can the nurse prevent them from occurring?

This film is directly related to this NF-15 class. I got to see malnutrition at it’s finest and what can happen as a result of eating a bad diet.
