Case Study #6 Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) Unit 4 Capstone Project: Cerebral Vascular Accident May 13, 2014 Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) is also known as a stroke or brain attack. It is the loss of a brain function due to a disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. This may occur from a blockage due to clots, a ruptured vessel, or a hemorrhage. A Cerebral Vascular Accident can happen to anyone at any time. The symptoms of a Cerebral Vascular Accident typically start sudden, in seconds to minutes and in most cases do not progress further.
CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is a lifesaving technique that greatly increases the survival rate of cardiac arrest victims. It is a rescue and lifesaving technique that each individual should know. When a victim is in cardiac arrest emergency, if you have to stop to ask how to perform CPR, you lose precious time in a situation where every second counts. When a person’s heart stops and they are not breathing, they have less than eight minutes before they begin to suffer brain damage and die.
memorandum to: | Ms. julie jones | from: | Teresa Yurkunas | subject: | comparrison of information from separate websites. | date: | July 4, 2014 | re: | assignment 1: audience analysis memo | | | As part of my assignment I have compared the topic on Congestive Heart Failure with two different web site to include American Heart Association (http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Conditions/HeartFailure/Heart-Failure_UCM_002019_SubHomePage.jsp) and Medicine Net at (http://www.medicinenet.com/congestive_heart_failure_chf_overview/article.htm) to find out how each website displays their information, who their main audience is and to show the differences in style and context. On the medicine net website, the primary audience is the general public and the secondary audience could be individuals with a health background looking for an easy navigational area to obtain information quickly. The American Heart Association’s website’s primary audience would be healthcare workers that understand more in depth education and explanation of medical conditions. The secondary audience could be for the general public to help assist with additional information or suggested web resources.
A person cannot survive without a heart, kidney, or liver, and if any of these organs would start to malfunction, the only hope is that an organ would become available through organ donation. “Every year, nearly 190,000 people suffer an injury or infection that causes their kidneys to stop working” (Marsa 1). Waiting for an organ can take years; some people do not have that much time to wait for an organ. Generally, assigning a person to the waiting list means the most severe medical cases are at the top. Continuing down the list, people will find patients that are at less of a risk for waiting.

University of Phoenix Material Assessment Tools Analysis Purpose of this assignment is to provide the student with the opportunity to examine assessment tools that evaluate on-physical measures. Applying Watson’s Theory of Human caring integrates the mind-body-spirit dimensions. Nurses should be knowledgeable in tools to expand the abilities of nurses to assess and evaluate clients in various stages and states of health, illness, stress and life. • Prepare and submit a 1,050 – 1,400 word, APA-formatted paper, which includes: o A selection of three assessment tools below o Using the Online Library, research the selected tools o Describe each tool and the population for which it might be useful. State data about tool such as cost, length, and ease in using tool, for what populations it is best designed, and validity of information gained o Describe how this tool could enhance the assessment phase of the nursing process and impact quality of health care delivered by the nurse • Apply these tools to the vulnerable population described in the Vulnerable Population and Self-Awareness assignment of Week Two Assessment Tools: Adult Life Stress Measurement Beck Depression Inventory Calgary Family Assessment Model Coping Resources Inventory for Stress Daily Hassles Scale Derogatis Stress Profile Dysfunctional Attitude Scale Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale Family Hardiness Index Feetham Family Functioning Survey Hassles and Uplifts Inventory Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HLPL-II) Health Self-Determination Index (HSDI) Health Self-Determination Index for Children (HSDI-C) Index of Core Spiritual Experiences Mini-Mental State Exam Perceived Stress Scale Schoolager’s Coping Strategies Inventory Social Support Questionnaire Spiritual Involvement & Beliefs Scale Spiritual Perspective Scale
Fifteen million people suffer from type II diabetes according to the American Diabetes Association (Leung 1). Upon receiving the diagnosis, these victims must surrender to the disease. Type II diabetes can lead to many other unhealthy reactions, such as heart attacks, and kidney failure (Owens 46). Some government officials are trying to take away the physical education children are receiving that can help them understand correct ways to exercise, and in becoming more aware of their eating habits (Leung 1). Without proper health education and the formation of good habits while young, the current generation will end up with a high probability of developing type II diabetes in their later years.
