Pressure ulcers are “ischemic wounds in the skin and underlying tissues caused by long-standing pressure force over an external bone or cartilaginous surface” (Guillén-Solà 2013). Pressure ulcers are a challenging part of the healthcare system due to prolong patient hospitalization and a reduction in the patient’s quality of life‚ since many patients that are in the hospital are there for either chronic conditions or intensive surgery‚ which may require an extensive and long term stay. Moreover‚

the “Blood Pressure and Pulse Experiment” is to determine how postural changes‚ exercise and cognitive stressors affect blood pressure and heart rate. Background The pressure of blood in the circulatory system is‚ also known as blood pressure (BP) is “the force exerted on a vessel wall by contained blood. This is expressed in millimeters per mercury (mmHg)” (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2016‚ pp. 708). There are two parts to blood pressure: systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. “Systolic pressure is the pressure

Pressure For Teenage Nowadays New studies on peer pressure suggest that teenswho often seem to follow each other like lemmings may do so because their brains derive more pleasure from social acceptance than adult brains‚ and not because teens are less capable of making rational decisions.And scientists say facing the influence of friends represents an important developmental step for teens on their way to becoming independent-thinking adults.Peer pressure is often seen as a negative‚ and indeed

Answers: 1. The systolic blood pressure measured in the auscultatory method is more accurate than that measured in the palpitation method because the palpitation method is prone to more human errors such as how strong the pulse is‚ where it is located‚ how hard the wrist is pressed during palpitation and a stethoscope which is used in the auscultatory method is more sensitive than feeling a pulse. Hearing the pulse involves less human error than feeling it. 2. The maximum pressure exerted when blood is

Introduction: High blood pressure or hypertension meaning high pressure (tension) in the arteries. Arteries are vessels that carry blood from the pumping heart to all the tissues and organs of the body. Normal Blood Pressure is below 120/80; blood pressure between 120/80 and 139/89 is consider pre-hypertension‚ and a blood pressure of 140/90 or above is considered high. The systolic blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries as the heart contracts and pumps blood forward into the arteries
