first aide- move victim to fresh air, administer o2, remove all contaminated clothing, if in contact with eyes flush for 20min and wash the skin with soap and water. Immediately cool burned areas with warm water and don't remove any clothing stuck to the skin. Carbon monoxide- gas toxic and flammable. Extremely toxic when inhaled or absorbed though the skin. Isolate area for 100 meters in all directions.
Fever, BP 88/59, HR 129, RR 26. RN anticipates initial orders for: 1. 2. Antipyretics and dopamine infusion CT scan of head & arm and drug screen Blood cultures, antibiotics, and rapid IV infusion IV fluids with MVI, thiamine, monitoring for signs of withdrawal, antipyretics Antipyretics and dopamine infusion CT scan of head & arm and drug screen 3. 4.
Cirrhosis- Chronic, progressive disease that causes the formation of fibrous connective tissue that distorts the liver's normal lobular structure. These irregular lobular shapes results in an impeded blood flow (portal hypertension), poor cellular nutrition, and hypoxia (scar tissue doesn't allow for "normal" gas exchange). •Cirrhosis- As evident by decreased ALT, AST, positive wave test, and decrease in platelets. Increased ICP: Cerebral edema (volume increase of brain tissue, blood or CSF) caused by injury, stroke, hemorrhage tumor or CSF leakage. •Increased ICP- As evident by Cushing's Triad, non-reactive/sluggish pupils,and the patient's fall.
CARDIAC Catheterization * Insertion of a catheter into the heart and surrounding vessels * Determines the structure and performance of the heart valves and surrounding vessels * Used to diagnose CAD, assess coronary patency, and determine the extent of atherosclerosis. * Pretest: Ensure Consent, assess for allergy to seafood and iodine, NPO, document weight and height, baseline VS, blood tests and document the peripheral pulses * Fast for 8-12 hrs, health teaching, medications to allay anxiety. * Intra-test: inform patient of a fluttery feeling as the catheter passes through the heart; inform the patient that a feeling of warmth and metallic taste may occur when dye is administered * Post-test: Monitor VS and cardiac rhythm * Monitor peripheral pulses, color and warmth and sensation of the extremity distal to insertion
3) Describe the common adverse reactions to medication, how each can be recognised and the appropriate action(s) required. Common adverse reactions are diarrhoea, skin rashes, sickness, facial swelling, blistering of the skin and wheezing. These can all be recognised by reading the side effects on medication packets or contacting a pharmacist. The appropriate action to take if a person supported is having an adverse reaction is to contact doctors/hospital so they can be treated appropriately. 4) Explain the different routes of medicine administration.
Year 10 Pre-Diploma Biology Heart Dissection Introduction This lab practical allows you to identify and compare the size, shape and tissue type of the major chambers and vessels of the heart. The goal of the lab is not just to observe anatomy, but to associate structure with function. The heart is a pump for blood that comes into the right atrium, goes out to the lungs through the right ventricle, returns through the left atrium, and leaves again through the left ventricle - a double circulation. Each chamber is separated by valves that prevent the backflow of blood. Try and figure out where the various components are, how each works, especially how the shape, composition, and even texture of each part contribute to its function.
The conditions of a phlebotomist are that the phlebotomists should note the patient's condition, whether the patient is fasting, on medications or has dietary restrictions. Phlebotomists should also check if the patient has allergies to antiseptics or adhesives that are used when drawing blood. The phlebotomist should apply a tourniquet 3 to 4 inches above the puncture site and should not leave it on for more than 2 minutes. The phlebotomist should rub alcohol on the site to disinfect it; the alcohol should air dry. After inserting the needle at a 15 to 30 degree angle, the phlebotomist draws the blood.
Minor burns will usually heal without further treatment. However, if a second-degree burn covers an area more than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, or if it is located on the hands, feet, face, groin, buttocks, or a major joint, treat the burn as a major burn. 7. Make sure the person is up to date on tetanus immunization. FOR MAJOR BURNS 1.
Diabetic ketoacidosis occurs when your body begins to break down fats for energy instead of glucose, leading to a build-up of acids in your blood. DIAGNOSIS It is important to diagnose diabetes as early as possible so that treatment can be started. If you experience symptoms, see your GP as soon as possible. They will ask you about your symptoms and ask for a urine sample. Urine and blood tests Your urine sample will be tested to see if it contains glucose.
Evaluation of the efficacy of amikacin and cefazolin combination administered by auto injectors in comparison with manual injection on wound healing in animal model. 6.1 Introduction Wound healing is a dynamic and complex physiological process of replacing devitalized and missing cellular structures and tissue layers. It is dependent on a number of inter-related factors. The cascade of healing is divided into four overlapping phases: hemostasis, inflammatory, proliferative, and maturation (Broughton,2006). Hemostasis starts immediately following injury, where the exposed sub endothelium, including collagen and tissue factor, activates platelet aggregation and leads to clot formation.
