C. Which structures found in the terminal bronchioles and alveoli normally would protect Cari’s lungs from infectious pathogens and particulate matter? Alveolar macrophages also known as dust cells remove dust and debris from the alveolar spaces. D. How would the resistance of Cari’s airways be affected by excess mucus and fluid in her lung? The lung capacity is decreased because the air space is already filled with mucus and fluids therefore she can’t take in enough oxygen. The extra mucus and fluids put extra pressure on the lungs.
When the mucus becomes or abundant it triggers the cough reflex. C. Which structures found in the terminal bronchioles and alveoli normally would protect Cari’s lungs from infectious pathogens and particulate matter? Macrophages found in the terminal bronchioles and alveoli that normally would protect Cari’s lungs from infectious pathogens and particulate matter. D. How would the resistance of Cari’s airways be affected by excess mucus and fluid in her lung? Excess mucus and fluid in the lungs would raise the resistance of Cari’s airways because of the small diameter the buildup would cause.
D. How would the resistance of Cari’s airways be affected by excess mucus and fluid in her lung? a. The lung capacity is decreased because the air space is already filled with mucus and fluids therefore she can’t take in enough oxygen. The extra mucus and fluids put extra pressure on the lungs. E. How would Cari’s lung compliance (the effort required to expand the lungs) be altered as her alveoli fill with fluid due to pneumonia?
She has presented to the ward with the following symptoms, which are an indication of a UTI; she is feeling very unwell, with a high temperature, frequency of urination and burning when urinating. She appears slightly confused and she also complains of back pain. Chapter 45 of Lewis’s medical-surgical nursing states, that the symptoms of a UTI, include the following; Dysuria (pain on urination), frequent in urination (every 2 hours or less) urgency, visible blood or sediment in urine (cloudy appearance), Flank pain (one sided pain between abdomen and back) and fever. Older adults also may experience non-localised abdominal pain, confusion, general clinical deterioration. Patients over the age of 80 may also experience a slight decline in body temperature.
The cells are located in the pancreas, and they are responsible for producing insulin. The ensuing deficient in insulin results in amplified urine and blood glucose. IDDM is a chronic disease resulting in high mortality rate throughout the globe. The disease is not curable, but patients learn to manage it throughout their lifetime. Some of the classical symptoms of the disease include loss of weight, urinating frequently, extreme thirst as well as hunger (Cooke & Plotnick, 2008).
What is a sickle cell crisis? Why is it concerning? • A sickle cell crisis is when the RBC is sickled shaped which prevents the RBC’s and oxygen to get to the tissue leading to extreme pain. There are 3 forms of a sickle cell crisis: • Vaso-occlusive crisis occurs when blood flow to tissues is obstructed by sickled RBCs, leading to hypoxemia and ischemia. • Acute sequestration event occurs when blood flow from an organ such as the liver, lungs, or spleen is obstructed by sickled RBC.
Managing infected in diabetic foot: NICE guidelines state that infection in the diabetic foot is a medical emergency and that patients must be referred to a specialist team within 24 hours. New ulceration, new swelling, or new discoloration over part or all of the foot these are some features that need a specialist team for diabetic foot. 5.Factors for dressing:- 1. A. There are some factors for choosing the dress for the patient that have the diabetic foot.
When the ductus arteriosus refuses to close, the oxygenated blood in the aortic arch passes into the left branch of the pulmonary artery and produces pulmonary hypertension. B. Draw a diagram outlining blood flow related to this clinical complication. C. Be prepared to discuss complications and treatments of this clinical conditional. In infants, complications that may occur are risks of developing heart failure, pulmonary artery hypertension, or infective endocarditis, which is an infection of the inner lining of the heart.
coli 0157:H7 is diagnosed by detecting the bacterium in the stool. To test specifically for E. coli 0157:H7, a specialized stool specimen called the sorbitol-MacConkey (SMAC) agar must be used. Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome is treated in an intensive care unit, where blood transfusions are performed. Intensive care treatment for HUS keeps the death rate at 3-5% annually. Long-term consequences of HUS include abnormal kidney function, seizures, high blood pressure, blindness and paralysis.
Internal risks are dangerous and some can be deadly for all in the medical field including Registered Nurses. Blood disorders can occur such as HIV or Hepatitis. These can happen by accidently being stuck by a needle from an infected person. Nurses who have worked in the industry for at least 15 years have a significantly increased risk for malignant melanoma and rectal cancer (Nursing Today). The amount of time around certain medications can cause damage to the RN'S internal organs.
