The sheer numbers involved results is a random combination of health implications. Most people will not notice anything, or pass any slight symptom off as getting older. Other people who have more of a reaction will go to the doctor and get diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a catch all disease that was created about a decade ago to give doctors something to tell the patient when they complained. The doctors can't accurate diagnose or understand what or why a patient is feeling a certain way, so the corrupt medical establishment gives them this nonsense to spew.
I feel that the Pearland Health Center tends to provide the best care under intense circumstances. There are quite a bit of emergency facilities that do not the experience, expertise, equipment, and professional tolerance as do the Pearland Health Center. Usually, other facilities, in intense cases, will just ship a client off to the nearest major hospital in which may be an inconvenience to the client and their loved ones. For example, an emergency facility in Pearland only deals with minor issues, so if a case is major not only will they ship them off to the nearest major hospital but the hospital may be thirty to forty minutes away. I have to say that the Pearland Health Center will at least try to fix the issue before suggesting other

Describe the elements of a comprehensive health assessment of a geriatric patient. What special considerations should the nurse keep in mind while performing this assessment? Nurses and healthcare professionals need to pay close attention to different things while performing a comprehensive assessment on the older population. The comprehensive assessment includes mental and functional status, social and economic status and the actual assessment of the body functions (Jarvis, 2012).

Case Study on Stroke Name: Institution: Case Study on Stroke Introduction Stroke, otherwise known as cerebrovascular accident, refers to a group of health conditions that occur as neurologic deficits caused by an abrupt interruption of cerebral blood flow. Put differently, a stroke results from a sudden decrease in the blood flow to the brain. An acute stroke is a term used in describing the initial twenty-four hours following a stroke event. Ischemic strokes, which results from embolisms or thrombosis, constitutes the vast majority of stroke cases (87 percent) while the remaining thirteen percent are hemorrhagic (resulting from aneurysm or the rupture of a blood vessel) (Yew & Cheng, 2009, p. 33). An ischemic stroke is usually characterized by a reduction or obstruction of blood supply to the brain due to blocked blood vessels caused by atherosclerosis or a blood clot.
