Breckenridge school of nursing | Identify the Homeostatic imbalance that causes Hypertension and Diabetes | Unit 1 Assignment 1: Homeostatic Imblance | | James K. Ryckman | 6/24/2015 | This document was compiled for nursing educational purposes and is not intended to be used for medical diagnosis, or treatment. | Scenario You’re a Nurse working at a Health-care Facility and the physician as given you the duty to explain hypertension to a 63 year old male, who has a 8th grade education, who has been diagnosed with hypertension. You also have to explain diabetes to a 13-year old middle school student honor roll student who has just been diagnosed with diabetes. Both are about the same education level so I would approach this with the KISS method. Keeping it simple and explain it in laments terms so they both would understand the seriousness of the disease, what life style changes they may need to do, and also the health risks that can developed from not treating their disease.
Jude, it’s what makes St. Jude run smoothly. Families will never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing and food.

[2] St. Jude has helped increase the survival rates for acute lymphoblastic leukemia from 4% before opening in 1962 to 94%

In the Physical Therapy (PT) arena of medicine, some insurance companies have now been requiring all PT be performed by a Physical Therapist only and not by a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA). Whether these companies are putting the actual terminology of ‘PT only, no PTA’ into the contracts or just simply not paying a submitted bill because the notes said a PTA performed some of the work. In the article, “Educating Payers about the Value of PTAs” in the November 2013 issue of PT in Motion, spot lights the very issue of the insurance companies scrutiny of who actual performs the billable work in a Physical Therapy clinic. New Hampshire, Kentucky, Indiana and Colorado were just a handful of states represented in this article, but insurance being a nationwide necessity; it is safely assumed that the “PT-Only” trend is everywhere. Insurance companies and other health insurance providers are simply uneducated about the field of PT and the need for the PTAs.
Regulatory Issue: Glenwood Gardens Independent Living Facility As an independent living facility of Brookdale Senior Living Inc., Glenwood Gardens enforces a company policy in which the corporate organization holds no liability of an employee getting hurt while performing medical care (Kern County Fire Department, 2013). Instead, protocol for medical emergencies require employees to call 911 and sit with residents of medical necessity until EMS arrives (Kern County Fire Department, 2013).

There are very few and vague references to scientific data. Because it is doubtful that any Institutional Review Board would approve of steroid studies at supraphysiologic doses, good study data is limited. However, poling bodybuilders is not good science. One bodybuilder he interviewed in his book intimated that bodybuilders are less than trustworthy. The only physicians the author interviews in his book involve the topic of genetic doping.

Cloud begins his thesis by presenting something very surprising about the relationship between exercise and losing weight, because according to professor of diabetes and metabolism, Eric Ravussin at Louisiana State University, “In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless.” Cloud establishes his thesis, based on evidence provided by controlled clinical trials that represent the gold standard of respectable medical science. These trials are usually published in peer-reviewed journals after proper analysis and commentary, by several fellow scientists to determine the rigor of science, and the absence of experimental mistakes. In a number of published studies, exercise did not lead to weight loss. One of the studies cited, is according to Cloud “a remarkable study” where the effects of exercise in 464 overweight women were examined. The results were “surprising” since on average, every single woman in the different groups lost weight, but most surprisingly women in the exercise groups did not lose statistically significant more weight than the no exercise control group.
