Abstract Central lines also known as central venous catheters are an integrated role in today’s health care. They provide the means of delivering the necessary lifesaving fluids, nutrition, blood products, medications, and means for hemodialysis access. But for this convenience comes great risks of bloodstream infections that are caused by the colonization of microorganisms from the external surface on and around the devices providing a pathway while inserted or in use. These types’ central line or catheter related associated bloodstream infections are often preventable. Yet thousands of people die each year or escalates billions of debt to the health care system in the U.S. annually to fight them.
The increased blood flow to the lungs is what makes the swishing sound known as a heart murmur. ASD can be commonly heard as a heart murmur with auscultation of a stethoscope. The heart murmur can be difficult to hear as it is not very loud depending on the size of the defect. Atrial defects are usually detected before the age of thirty and can go undetected prior to that with no signs or symptoms. Some of the signs to look for in younger children are poor appetite, poor growth, fatigue, shortness of breath and pneumonia.
Vaccinations are more serious that the diseases they are supposed to protect a person from. The whooping cough is the most dangerous vaccine. Over twenty-three vaccines are given
While the necessary equipment, hand washing procedures and knowledge is available, it’s a concern if sterility can still be maintained. Concerns arise when health professionals use their patient’s personal items to place their sterile instruments and supplies on while providing care for them. Once sterile instruments are placed in a non-sterile environment, the sterility is compromised and is now contaminated. For this reason cross contamination and/or the transfer of microorganisms risk is high, causing the patient to be vulnerable when inserting a catheter or any other procedure that is introduced within the body. While it is impractical for the nurse to provide a sterile surface, there are ways that contamination can be greatly reduced.
Late Disseminated is the life threatening stage of Lyme disease and may result in death. However, even at this stage, with treatment a person may survive their illness. Doctors who diagnose this stage of Lyme disease usually prescribe antibiotics for adults and children ages eight and above. However, these powerful medications cannot be given to pregnant women. Children under the age of eight are also not able to receive antibiotics because the medicine is too strong for them as well.
This type of asthma is called occupational asthma (What Is Asthma?). Asthma is a common chronic disease worldwide and affects approximately 24 million persons in the United States. It is the most common chronic disease in childhood, affecting an estimated 7 million children, and it is a common cause of hospitalization for children in the United States (Morris). In the United States, asthma prevalence, especially morbidity and mortality, is higher in blacks than in whites. Although genetic factors are of major importance in determining a predisposition to the development of asthma, environmental factors play a greater role than racial factors in asthma onset.

Using drugs not only harms the baby it also harms the carrier. Hundreds of babies are affected each year, because their parents chose to use while being pregnant. Birth Defects: Babies that are subjected to drugs have a higher rate of being born with a birth defect. Birth Defects enable the child to be fully developed.
Although it would be exceedingly rare to suffer the consequences of halting a sneeze, nevertheless, the possibility exists. Other than suffering spontaneous perforation of the pyriform sinus, holding a sneeze has other complications. The authors of a case report, published on Monday in BMJ, said that holding a sneeze may lead to complications such as pneumomedistinum, perforation of tympanic membrane, and rupture of a cerebral aneurysm, Mashable reported. They noted that halting sneeze by blocking nostrils and mouth is a dangerous maneuver and must be avoided. Feeding tube for 7 days After he ripped a hole in his throat when he held back a sneeze, the British 34-year-old male patient had to be confined in a hospital and placed on a feeding
Cigarette causing diseases are one of the top most preventable types of diseases there is in the world. Some of the major diseases and health issues that smoking is known to cause for smokers are cancer, lung disease, heart disease, strokes, and diabetes (“Fast”). Smoking can also affect your blood pressure. It causes arterial stiffness which in turn causes an elevation in the smokers’ central blood pressure (Takami, Takeshi, and Yoshihiko Saiko). A study was done that showed in smokers of 15 years or more, bone resorption (destruction) was significantly
