BIOS255 BIOS 255 WEEK 5 Lab 5 - Lymphatic System & Disease Resistance 1. Describe lymphatic system functions. The primary functions of the lymphatic system are to drain and return interstitial fluid to the blood to absorb and return lipids from the digestive system to the blood, and to filter fluid of pathogens, damaged cells, cellular, and cancerous cells to help protect against invasion. 2. Locate each of the following lymphatic vessels: right lymphatic duct, thoracic (left lymphatic) duct, right and left subclavian veins, and cisterna chyli.
Lymphatic System & Disease Resistance 1. Describe lymphatic system functions. The lymphatic system helps fluids circulate the body and helps defend against agents that cause disease. 2. Locate each of the following lymphatic vessels: right lymphatic duct, thoracic (left lymphatic) duct, right and left subclavian veins, and cisterna chyli.
The viscelar layer of the Bowman’s capsule and the endothelial capillary network of the glomerulus come together and form an endothelial-capsular membrane. This is where filtration of water and blood solutes occurs. Collecting ducts connect with distal tubules of nephrons in the medulla to help collecting ducts
This pumping action of blood flow is controlled by electrical impulses in the heart. It begins at the Sinoatrial node (SA node), located in the right atrium. When the blood fills in the right atrium, the electrical signal sends an impulse across the left and right atria, which cause the atria to contract. The P wave on an EKG marks the contraction of the atria. The signal then arrives from the SA node to the Atrioventricular node
Medicines are rapidly absorbed into the body via this route, which is advantageous when a situation is life threatening. Again this can only performed by a doctor or trained nurse. Subcutaneous injection administration With this injection, the medicine is administered directly under the skin. A common example of a medicine administered via this route is insulin. Medicines are injected in the fat layer beneath the skin.
Identify priority nursing care to prevent potential complications following this type of surgery. * Maintain respiratory function * Maintain circulatory function * Promote elimination and adequate nutrition * Promote urinary elimination * Promote wound healing * Achieve rest and comfort 3. Discuss treatment modalities for potential complications as identified above * Push fluids to promote elimination * Hemorrhages may need surgical correction * Apply O₂ 4. Discuss the standard of nursing care when transfusing any blood product. * Verify that an order for the transfusion exists.
It is a series of physical reactions that transform liquid blood into a gel that forms a secure patch over the damaged blood vessel. Coagulation has three main stages: Formation of factor x and prothrombinase, Prothrombin is converted to thrombin and finally Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin. The clot is formed by these stages. It is then strengthened by a process called Clot Retraction. This is here platelets in the clot contract pulling on the fibrin strands that they are attached to.
4. Blood cultures, antibiotics, and rapid IV infusion IV fluids with MVI, thiamine, monitoring for signs of withdrawal, antipyretics When intracellular demand for oxygen exceeds the supply in the septic patient, the RN would expect to find: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Include discussion on any barriers to learning. Educate pt on proper hygiene techniques when urinating and voiding. Educate pt on increasing their fluid intake. 7) Identify and discuss nursing collaboration with other health care personnel involved in the care of this patient. (for example physician, case management, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, dietary, etc) What information should the nurse provide?
It allows the cells to pass through. Then, it also where the process of exchanged between blood and lymphatic vessels occur. Due this process, it allows the lymphatic system to monitor the invading microbes. The lymphatic vessels also carry a clear fluid that it bathes in the body’s tissues that is known as lymph. Another organ is lymph node that is has specialized compartments where the immune system there and can encounter antigens.
