diseases‚ electrolyte imbalance‚ renal transplantation‚ and dialysis therapy would be referred to as nephrology; accordingly the associated medical professionals are named nephrologists (the doctors who manage the kidneys). The most frequently seen kidney disease is a kidney infection‚ also referred to as nephritis (acute or chronic inflammation of the kidneys) (American Heritage‚ 2007).

In this lab‚ homeostasis will be studied upon the two eggs in corn syrup and distilled water‚ and in each sucrose solution with different amounts of molarity. Homeostasis is the maintenance of balance between an organism or cell and its environment. Without homeostasis‚ many important aspects of the body such as body temperature‚ blood sugar‚ heart rate‚ blood rate‚ and pH of blood would not be kept at the proper balance. This could eventually result in death due to improper amounts of certain substances

was evident through our experiments in which membrane permeability was tested in living Elodea plant cell‚ which was placed in 3 different solutions‚ from distilled water to 15% NaCl solution‚ to test how the cell would react to it. In addition‚ dialysis tubes were used in water and maltose solution to test for osmosis‚ since they have an artificially permeable membrane closely resembling a human cell.

My Success As A LPN: The best thing I have ever done for myself was go back to school and get my LPN license in 1998-1999. I did it because I wanted a better‚ more challenging career‚ a better future‚ and to help others. I completed that year of school‚ passed my boards‚ and became a LPN. My life has changed in that I am more stable financially‚ challenged more‚ and have more opportunities to advance in the career I have chosen. Before I went back to school I had worked at several places that

Discuss how evidence-based practice is applied in your practice setting and describe the desired patient outcome achieved through this approach. I worked for a dialysis clinic where I did acute and chronic hemodialysis. I preformed treatment in the hospital and in the clinic. Almost all acute patients had central lines and some of the chronic patients did as well due to fistulas and grafts occluding or getting infected or etc. Unfortunately evidence shows hemodialysis is the most common factor

is the prognosis? There are a couple treatment options. She could have treatment done to balance the amount of fluids in her blood‚ such as an IV. She could take a medication to control blood potassium or blood calcium levels. She could also have dialysis to remove toxins from her blood. Most of the time treatment for this can repair the kidney in a couple of days. The worst case scenario is this leading to chronic kidney disease.
