I am analysing Beneath Clouds within context to ‘Representing Australia’, and the key components relating to the text such as prejudice, racism and colonialism in Australia. In particular I will research the effects that colonialism has had on the new generation of Indigenous Australians . The text Beneath the Clouds; a journey of two teenagers in remote Australia, characters Lena and Vaughn are drawn together as their lives take the same path to Sydney. The debateable romantic relationship between the two is ambiguous, portraying an unspoken connection, with an approach toward aboriginal life, post colonialism, a colourful representation where I will also explore the effects of racism and prejudice from an adolescent standpoint. My research will focus on the

Our results imply, however, that older women with a recent history of panic attacks represent a subgroup at elevated risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in whom careful monitoring and cardiovascular risk reduction may be particularly important."

Certainly, clinicians often forget that a normal creatinine level does not always mean normal renal function, especially in sick patients with reduced muscle mass. Although tenofovir deserves its reputation as an unusually safe and well-tolerated drug, it can cause enduring kidney damage. Clinicians should be vigilant about monitoring renal function and should dose other antiretrovirals carefully in patients taking tenofovir. Source Zimmermann AE et al. Tenofovir-associated acute and chronic kidney disease: A case of multiple drug interactions.
Bipolar I Disorder is mainly defined by “manic or mixed episodes that last at least seven days, or by manic symptoms that are so severe that the person needs immediate hospital care” (Kittleson). Usually, the person also has depressive episodes, typically lasting at least two weeks. The symptoms of mania or depression must be a major change from the person’s normal behavior. Bipolar II Disorder is defined by “a pattern of depressive episodes shifting back and forth with hypomanic episodes, but no full-blown manic or mixed episodes” (Kittleson). Bipolar Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (BP-NOS) is diagnosed when a person has “symptoms of the illness that do not meet diagnostic criteria for either bipolar I or II.
I agree with the reductions in costs, even in a medical error. I liked the way they conducted the research and how they handled their findings, yet when they found that EMRs did not really prevent medical errors and to not increase patient safety, I had to disagree. If an EMR is correctly formatted and records are kept precisely and consistently, then the safety of a patient would have to increase. EMRs keep track of medication allergies, mental disorders, chronic illnesses, current and pat medications and procedures, all this would be a tool to correctly prescribe, treat and care for a patient, reducing medical errors just by having knowledge of their
Administering antipsychotic medication with anticholinergic drugs will slow gastric motility. Absorption after IM administration is less variable because this method avoids the first-pass effects. IM administration produces greater bioavailability. When administering an IM, choose a muscle that is frequently active because IM drugs absorb slowly and erratically when the muscle is not used
