insulin pump or the insulin pen. It does come down to which one someone likes better. Both have their strengths and weaknesses‚ Cost is one of the things that the diabetic needs to consider along with‚ the risk of hypoglycemia‚ and the several times they have to inject themselves with a needle. Cost is one of the few things that the pen is able to beat the pump in but other than that the pump outweighs the pen tenfold. Cost is a big issue for some people because some can not afford the pump‚ but in

activities as a learner. My most recent learning experience as a learner was how to operate and administer insulin via External Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion Pump (ECSIP). Several patients are hospitalized with Self Administered ECSIPs. The primary nurse for that patient is expected to understand how to operate and care for this particular pump. I was very unfamiliar with this device because I was not exposed to it during nursing school. The entry-level education of prepares graduates with the knowledge

Ailine Veiga Question: what is the heat of fusion of ice? Hypothesis: To get the heat of fusion of ice we need to determine the Energy it takes to melt the ice and also the mass of the ice and determine the heat of fusion. To determine the mass of the ice melted (m) we start by determine the volume of the water generated when the ice melted. This is the difference between the final volume (v2) and the initial volume (v1). Using the density of water (1.0g/mL)‚ this volume can be converted into mass

Water is a chemical compound with the chemical formula H 2O. A water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure‚ but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state‚ ice‚ and gaseous state‚ steam (water vapor). Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚ 1

1990’s Pump Up the Volume follows Mark Hunter‚ a shy high school implant that adopts the persona of outspoken pirate radio deejay ‘Happy Harry Hard-on’ by night‚ as he stirs up fellow teens and unravels the fabric of his suburban Arizona community. By subverting the expectations that fellow students face‚ he reveals the institutional obstacles that arise in teaching and learning when the education system services individual merit. By portraying the failings of pursuing academic excellence above all

Heat exhaustion and heatstroke As days slowly begin to heat up it is important to stay cool and keep hydrated across the screaming scorching sun. Summer time usually means longer days and if you live close to the equator you know about the 100+ degree weather that comes with it. Without the proper precautions you could easily fall to heat exhaustion or far worse a heat stroke. Athletes are more prone to this type of sudden illnesses because of the constant running and exercise they do on a daily

before proceeding to further steps. 100 mL of chilled water‚ which is 10-15 ºC colder than the room temperature‚ was prepared and was poured into the empty can. An apparatus was installed with a stand and a holder. The can was placed hanging on the stand by a glass rod (the rod went through the hole of can’s handle (?) and was placed above the holder). The candle was installed right below (about 2cm below) the can. The room temperature and the water temperature were measured to the nearest 0.1 ºC and

[pic]! [pic] ‘I’ll go out for a breath of fresh air’ is an often-heard phrase. But how many of us realize that this has become irrelevant in today’s world‚ because the quality of air in our cities is anything but fresh. The moment you step out of the house and are on the road you can actually see the air getting polluted; a cloud of smoke from the exhaust of a bus‚ car‚ or a scooter; smoke billowing from a factory chimney‚ flyash generated by thermal power plants‚ and speeding cars causing dust

If you look at the picture on the left‚ you will see H2O molecules connected together in their liquid form which is WATER But when you apply electricity (from your car battery)‚ the molecules separate and form a GAS (called HHO) which is a mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen. This HHO GAS is then sucked into your engine and mixed along with the air from the air filter. As the gasoline
