I will begin this study by introducing a case that I witnessed while on placement that used a form of diagnostic technology. I will continue by defining nursing informatics identifying the technology used for diagnosis of this patient in more depth‚ and explaining why that particular technology was used above any other. In the case study I will discuss a 70 year old man admitted due to a fall and acopia with a past medical history of copd and ribhadomylosis. The patient was already on 4 hourly

Evaluate how the name of a muscle can distinguish its location‚ action‚ shape‚ and function. Select five different muscles to make this distinction. Descriptive terms are used to name skeletal muscles. Some names give the location in the body. The temporalis muscle is attached to the temporal bone in the skull. The brachialis muscle is attached to the humerus bone‚ but brachial refers to the main artery in the arm. Some muscles are named for their origins and insertions‚ like the genioglossus
