the following: * To be able to identify the parts of the respiratory system and identify the function of each. * Determine the different factors that affect the normal breathing process. * To be able to make and use an improvised spirometer and measure respiratory volumes. Studying and observing respiration through proper understanding of the respiratory system is very important because it gives us knowledge on how it works and makes us realize that this system should be taken

Bloom Research and Response Paper Benjamin Bloom developed Bloom’s Taxonomy in 1956. It identifies three domains: cognitive‚ affective‚ and psychomotor‚ used to evaluate knowledge assimilated by the learner. Each domain has hierarchical categories that progressively measure the level of understanding achieved. This paper reviews each domain and list the categories found within‚ discuss how Bloom’s taxonomy apply to the case study presented by Larkin and Burton’s article ‘Evaluating a Case Study

The flow-volume curve is now available in almost all commercially available spirometers and is displayed in real-time as the patient performs the

Chemoembolization is a procedure that combines chemotherapy and embolization. Medicines that stop or slow the growth of cancer cells (chemotherapy) are delivered directly to a tumor‚ through a blood vessel. At the same time‚ a type of medicine or a synthetic material (embolic agent) is put into the blood vessel to create a blockage (embolization). This cuts off blood supply to the tumor and traps the chemotherapy in place. The goal of this procedure is to slow or stop the growth of a cancerous

An instance‚ in which I used the nursing process‚ stood as my clinical experience of caring for a 72-year-old female diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia. This patient regularly acquired pneumonia‚ and with her body becoming more frail and susceptible to disease‚ she found herself in the hospital. Upon entering the patient’s room‚ I encountered an older woman slumping in her bed‚ looking restless‚ and using her accessory muscles to try to get appropriate respirations. Recognizing that the patient was
