viral or bacterial. Gastroenteritis is an infection of the gut that causes diarrhea. The main risk in gastroenteritis is dehydration‚ so the main treatment is to drink a lot of fluids. The symptoms of dehydration in adults include tiredness‚ dizziness‚ headache‚ muscular cramps‚ sunken eyes‚ passing little urine‚ dry mouth and tongue‚ weakness‚ and irritability. When dehydration becomes serious‚ the symptoms are general body weakness‚ confusion‚ rapid heart-rate and coma. The reason indigestion happen

Keeping patients hydrated by giving them enough clean water and monitoring their fluid intake to prevent dehydration effects‚ such as dizziness and dry mouth‚ is seen in the RCN’s enhanced nutritional care‚ which was formed using Florence Nightingale’s theory on keeping a clean environment for the patients’ recovery. In Nightingale’s environmental theory‚ making sure that the water is clean and pure can prevent patients from getting sicker when around patients who have other diseases instead of using

(polymers) are made of smaller subunits (monomers). The bonds between these subunits are formed by dehydration synthesis. This process requires energy; a molecule of water is removed (dehydration) and a covalent bond is formed between the subunits (Fig 1). Breaking this bond is called hydrolysis; it requires the addition of a water molecule and releases energy. Figure 1. Dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis of a polymer. Each class of these macromolecules has different structures

Polysaccharides‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids are macromolecules. • Polymer: a long molecule consisting of many similar or identical monomers linked together by covalent bonds. • Monomer: the subunit that serves as the building block of a polymer. • Condensation (dehydration) reaction: a chemical reaction in which two molecules become covalently bonded to each other with the

Alkenes by Elimination Kyle Peterson Chem. 243a Matt Judd‚ Sec. 25 Date Performed: 11/12/03 Abstract: The objective of this experiment is to successfully perform a dehydration of a 2-butanol and a dehydrohalogenation of 2-bromobutane to form the products 1-butene‚ trans-2-butene‚ and cis-2-butene. It was found that a dehydration of 2-butanol yielded 4.6% 1-butene‚ 67.3% trans-2-butene‚ and 28.1% cis-2-butene‚ and a dehydrohalogenation of 2-bromobutane yielded 19.1% 1-butene‚ 69.9% trans-2-butene

drinks due to the fact that most of the sports drinks have rather similar ingredients. The major reason anyone drinks fluid before‚ during and after physical activity is to replace the water that is lost through sweat. If the water isn’t replaced dehydration will occur and performance will be hampered. The purpose of Gatorade and other sports drinks is to help rehydrate your body quickly and help improve performance and productivity. This is accomplished through a well balanced mix of water‚ sugar (carbohydrates)

New mom needs to know if her baby is having a fever‚ cold‚ dehydration‚ ear infection‚ and jaundice. Newborn’s normal temperature should be between 97.6 F and 99.6 F. if mom suspects the baby has a fever‚ take his temperature with digital thermometer‚ and call the pediatrician if the reading is above 100.0 F.

Food Processing Throughout the history of mankind science has searched into the realms of the unknown. Along with it bringing new discoveries‚ allowing for our lives to become healthier‚ more efficient‚ safer‚ and at the same time‚ possibly more dangerous. Among the forces driving scientists into these many experiments‚ is the desire to preserve the one fuel that keeps our lives going; FOOD. As early as the beginning of the 19th century‚ major breakthroughs in food preservation had begun. Soldiers

Water also maintains proper body temperature and prevents dehydration. There are over twenty minerals needed in dietary intake to maintain health. Minerals are broken down into two categories; macrominerals and microminerals. Macrominerals are considered major minerals and include sodium‚ potassium‚ chloride‚ calcium
