Generally, cat scratch disease is not serious. Medical treatment is not usually needed. In severe cases, treatment with antibiotics such as azithromycin can be helpful. Other helpful treatments are with rifampin, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, clarithromycin, and azithromycin. In one placebo-controlled study, azithromycin therapy was associated with more rapid decrease in size of infected lymph nodes.
Jinx the different types of treatments that are out there to help treat the endometriosis. Showing Mrs. Jinx that there are medications she may be able to take to help with the pain and with the endometriosis spreading, as some medications like birth control can cause your body to release less estrogen and progestin's which will prohibit the growth of the endometriosis cells. I also explain to her that sometimes once she becomes pregnant that it will slow down the spread of the endometriosis as she is not having her menstrual cycles. I can tell she is feeling a little relieved, so I go on explaining that when the doctor does the laparoscopy that he might laser off the endometriosis that is visible and this might prevent it from coming back. I explain to her that with endometriosis that it is a patient to patient treatment plan as everyone is different.
Vitamin supplements containing enzymes, to help aid digestion are given. Asthma therapy is also given to a cystic fibrosis sufferer and antibiotics to stop infections of the lungs developing.

Research being currently carried out into cystic fibrosis includes trying to find a cure through gene therapy, this would try to prevent lung disease in a cystic fibrosis sufferer.
One group had hair removed with depilatory cream and the other had their hair removed by shaving with a razor. The presence of skin injuries, rash, and reactions were recorded on the date of assessment and kept sealed for later observation from a different resident. Post-surgical assessment was performed by a senior resident on the third, fifth and seventh days and were then followed up for the next five weeks. (A2) Review of Literature The author starts the article by siting many other sources of information from all different locations.

An ACE inhibitor medication inhibits the enzyme that allows this conversion to occur, and therefore, decreases blood pressure. Nursing responsibilities prior to administration: Monitor BP and potassium level (for hyperkalemia). A persistent cough is a common side effect of ACE inhibitors. Angioedema is a rare, but serious side effect. Do not use during pregnancy!

Whooping cough is spread from person-to-person by droplets traveling through the air that carry bacteria from a cough or sneeze of an infected child. Since the pertussis vaccination did not have a high success rate, the use of “the latest wonder drugs, aureomycin and chloromycetin, help[ed] to overcome the infection and therefore shorten the duration of the illness” (Van Dellen

There may be an outer ring of brighter redness and a central area of clearing leading to a bull’s eye appearance. This rash is called Erythema migran pertaining to a “bull’s eye”. The symptoms to this stage are general fatigue, muscle and joint stiffness, swollen lymph nodes, and headaches. Stage 2 is called early disseminated infection which is a few days to weeks after the initial bite and the disease starts to spread to through the bloodstream. It will develop at sites across the body that bears no relation to the tick bite.
If the student is treated and becomes healthy again the student could become what is known as a latent carrier of TB (CDC, 2008). Latent carriers are people who have TB but not enough to overwhelm their immune system and cause symptoms. Latent carriers do not transmit TB and are not a risk to public health (CDC, 2008)unless their immune system becomes compromised to the point where the TB can overwhelm it again and they return to having symptoms and being active carriers of TB (CDC, 2008). Assuming that the student remains latent and not active, refusing the student re-entry into the nursing program is an ethically questionable situation. Since the student exposed other people in the nursing program to TB some of those people may test positive for TB even if the infection was never strong enough to become active (CDC, 2008).
