When enough alveoli are atelectatic, oxygen delivery will be reduced. Airless alveoli are an ideal place for microorganisms to grow. (Kerry’s Notes) Atelectasis may occur in any person who does not periodically take deep breaths. Circumstances of which may alter the ability to take these deep breaths are: obesity, neuromuscular disorders, sedation, spinal cord injuries, immobilization, and upper abdominal surgery. If a person periodically takes the deep breaths necessary to inflate their lungs, they can prevent themselves from getting atelectasis.
· brain defects or injury: Defects in or injury to certain areas of the brain have also been linked to some mental illnesses. · prenatal damage: Some evidence suggests that a disruption of early fetal brain development or trauma that occurs at the time of birth -- for example, loss of oxygen to the brain -- may be a factor in the development of certain conditions, such as autism. · substance abuse: Long-term substance abuse, in particular, has been linked to anxiety, depression, and paranoia. · other factors: Poor nutrition[->1] and exposure to toxins, such as lead, may play a role in the development of mental illnesses. PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS: · severe trauma suffered as a child, such as emotional, physical or sexual abuse.
Describes the differences and similarities of adolecents. The similarities and differences between the early and middle childhood development stages and adult stages of psychological development Similarities and Differences in Adolescent Development Betsy L. Shatzer University of Phoenix PSYCH 500 June 4, 2012 Dr. Jody Pendleton Similarities and Differences in Adolescent Development The experiencing the period of adolescence is described historically as a passage from childhood to adulthood. Erikson’s (1950) original formation saw adolescent development as “a universal epigenetic sequence of development,” of which the primary task is the formation of identity (Schwartz & Montgomery, 2002, p. 360; Chen & Farruggia, 2002). However, recent generations of adolescents have more cultural diversity. In addition, Carol Gilligan (1988) theorized that gender differences affected human development.
Women of color are two-to-three times more likely to develop lupus. Of particular concern are the disease’s effects on African-American women, who are more likely to be affected at an earlier age, experience greater disease severity, have the highest overall death rate among people with lupus, and are three times more likely to die from the disease than Caucasian women ("Systemic Lupus Erythematosus ", 2011).
This stage in Identity vs. Confusion and concerns adolescence children and the way they explore their independence and develop a sense of self. According to Erikson this stage of identity crisis is marked by rapid physical growth and hormonal changes, which take place between the ages of 12 and 18. In this stage Erikson believes that adolescence children go on a search for a new sense of continuity and sameness, and is concerned with the questions of
If this fails, a pancrelipase and sodium bicarbonate solution may be instilled in order to "digest" the clog. Metabolic complications: Metabolic complications of enteral nutrition are similar to those that occur during PN, although the incidence and severity may be less. Careful monitoring can minimize or prevent metabolic complications. Refeeding syndrome: Refeeding of severely malnourished patients may result in "refeeding syndrome" in which there are acute decreases in circulating levels of potassium, magnesium, and phosphate. The sequel of refeeding syndrome adversely affect nearly every organ system and include cardiac dysrhythmias, heart failure, acute respiratory failure, coma, paralysis, nephropathy, and liver dysfunction.
A case study is examined to illustrate possible approaches to care and personal reflections of the author will be shared regarding issues of teenage pregnancy. In 2009 almost 410,000 infants were born to United States teenage girls between the ages of 15 and 19. Nearly two-thirds of births to women younger than 18 and more than half of those among 18 and 19-year-olds were a result of unintended pregnancies (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). This represents a teen birth rate as much as nine times greater than other developed countries and is especially high among black and Hispanic teens in southern states (Vital signs: teen pregnancy, 2011). Those at highest risk of teen pregnancy are girls from single parent homes, families with low socioeconomic status, and girls with a sister who became pregnant as a teenager (Talashek, Alba, & Patel, 2006).

Anemia is associated with chronic fatigue, impaired cognitive function, and diminished well-being. This type of anemia is seen very often in women and people that have a poor diet low in iron, women with heavy menstrual cycle, pregnant or after recent births, breast feeding, its seen in individuals that had recent major surgery, GI disease, peptic ulcers, gastric bypass patients, Crone’s disease and vegetarians and individuals with poor iron-rich intake (Jimenez, Dabsch & Gasche, 2015).. Ms. A should be admitted to the hospital for couple days, placed on oxygen therapy, type and cross for identifying the blood type she needs, obtain IV access with a large bore catheter for possible RBC transfusion, normal saline for fluid resuscitation and iron injections or IV iron therapy could be ordered by the physician. Repeated laboratory testing should be done post transfusion and periodically while in the hospital. Also knowing that Ms. A takes large dosages of aspirin, continued monitoring for any active bleeding internally, imaging testing (abdominal ultrasound, CT scan), occult blood should be done and also
The most common symptoms of ulcerative colitis include: * Abdominal pain- Pain is worse after a meal and is relieved by passing wind or stools which eases the pressure on the colon. * Diarrhoea- People suffer from active diarrhoea and this may be accompanied with pus and
