Gina is my manager at a Traditional Chinese Medicine school. She found out she was pregnant when she took a pregnancy test the day or so after she was due, which was at the end of January 2014. She had the ultrasound around 8 weeks into her pregnancy, and confirmed she was pregnant. Gina and her husband were very excited and joyful about it because they love babies so much, and would like to have their own child. She didn’t have any of the pregnancy symptoms before 8 weeks, but after 8 weeks, she started having morning sickness, and her breast felt sore.
Although this particular condition is somewhat unusual in babies, the lesions indicate that the child must have experienced a common childhood illness earlier. Which one? 3. The mother says that, to her knowledge, the baby has no had this common childhood illness, but that his 3-year-old sister had it four months ago, when the baby was 2 months old. Explain the link between the girl’s illness and the baby’s condition.
The chief complaint of the patient is a group of lesions on the child’s back. The baby’s mother explains that the spot on the baby’s back just popped up two days ago and that the baby hasn’t had a fever and seems well. When the baby was examined, it observed that, there is a group of seven to eight blisters like lesions localized to the left of the baby’s spine and they have clear fluid in them. Herpes Zoster is a viral infection of the nerve roots. The causative agent is Varicella-zoster virus.

REFLECTION: Communication with Dementia Patient During my rotation in Care of Elderly on Sarratt Ward, WGH, we once had a patient with severe dementia. She came in with a chest infection and had been unwell for two weeks and therefore not mobilized during that period of time. Previously she was walking with supervision of one. She was living in a residential home and for her to be able to go back there she was expected to be able to walk again with minimum assistance of one. The nursing staff reported that her chest infection had resolved and she was now more alert.
Lots and lots of babies in this time period. Pregnancies started young, and often came back to back not allowing mothers to have much time to heal from the previous. This movie portrays it as Loretta Lynn has her first early in her marriage to Oliver and having four children by the age of twenty (20). This is definitely a stand true stereotype that I can understand. Working in the emergency department of our local hospital, I see so many young girls ranging from fourteen (14) and older having babies while still being babies themselves.
Brief Intervention programs are short and cost effective compared to PCAP and First Steps, a three-year program where expenses are substantial. Newborns whose mothers drank and received a brief intervention compared to mothers who did not drink showed no difference in birth weight. This shows that the intervention was successful and that those mothers did not continue to drink after they find out the outcomes of prenatal drinking. A individual’s impulse to change bad habits have been proved to be 5 times more successful during a brief intervention (O’Connor & Whaley, 2007). The use of the Brief Intervention program will help decrease the number of FAS cases and prevent the suffering of any more
