The test that were conducted on J.T. were a laboratory blood test‚ pulse oximetry test‚ an arterial blood gas analysis‚ a pulmonary function test‚ and a chest x-ray. The laboratory blood test may not directly tell if a person has COPD but they are important to note the possible causes of one’s symptoms and are useful for ruling out other disorders. A laboratory blood test also includes an arterial blood gas analysis which is useful to determine if one’s lungs are working properly and begs to answer

The Effect of Position on Heart Rate This lab explores the effect of head position on an individual’s heart rate by having a subject move it’s head while simultaneously monitoring the subjects heart rate. There were three successive periods during which the heart rate was monitored that occurred in this order: a resting stage (subject sitting upright)‚ a stage with the head positioned between the knees‚ and a recovery stage (subject returns to upright position). The graph depicts a wide range

Abstract Blood donation is dependent on the goodwill of people‚ to voluntarily donate blood‚ without financial reward. There is a continuous need for new blood donors‚ because the demand for donor blood is increasing‚ whereas the supply of blood is declining. Only 3% of the eligible population members actually donate blood. This leaves an enormous potential blood donor base‚ which if tapped into and maintained could lead to an adequate reserve of donations to meet the transfusion needs of this
