1. How does the nurse ensure airway safety? Upon discussing this question with my nurse‚ the first thing he mentioned he does to ensure airway safety is check that the marking on the airway tube is at the same number as it should be. For example‚ if the tube was a 26 at the patient’s mouth‚ he would make sure it is still at 26. By doing so‚ he is able to see weather or not the tube has gone down too far and might only be providing air to one lung or it might have came up too far in the airway and

How does the temperature of water affect how fast sugar can dissolve? Predict We will do three different tests‚ dissolving the water in boiling‚ warm and cool water. The sugar in the boiling water will dissolve the fastest. The sugar added to the cool water will dissolve the slowest. Reason According to the state of matter theory‚ the particles in a gas move faster than in a liquid‚ which I will use to infer that the hotter the water is and closer to a gas‚ the faster the particles move. Therefore

liquid water by drinking. Like most animals‚ they produce water due to the oxidation of foods used in respiration. This "metabolic water" is the product of aerobic respiration - the final stage of oxidative phosphorylation being the reduction of oxygen using hydrogen ions and electrons. Lipids are especially important in this respect because on oxidation they produce more water than carbohydrates and proteins. There is a great difference between the environment beneath ground and above ground

2. At a party‚ Dickson was challenging his friends to see who could hold their breath and dive longest in the pool. Hoping to extend his time underwater‚ Dickson hyperventilates for several minutes before diving into the pool. Shortly after entering the water‚ he lost consciousness and nearly drowned. Explain what might have caused this. Hyperventilation is defined as breathing in excess of the metabolic needs of the body‚ eliminating more carbon dioxide that is produced‚ and consequently‚ resulting

Analysis of Oxygen bearing Organic compounds Abstract The Unknown sample in the experiment can be tested to yield results such as 1° (primary)‚ 2° (secondary)‚ 3° (tertiary) alcohols. Tests such as the dichromate test‚ Tollen’s test‚ Lucas test‚ DNPH test and iodoform test would be very useful in determining the type of alcohol that the unknown sample belongs to. In the experiment‚ the unknown sample underwent series of testing to identify what property of alcohol it belonged to and the result

For the purpose of this essay the Kolb’s model of reflection (1984) has been chosen as a guide to reflect on administration of oxygen therapy. Administration of oxygen therapy is the aspect of nursing practice that I selected as a result of completing the case-based learning scenarios. I will explain how the administration of oxygen therapy can have an effect on a patient’s activities of daily living (ADL)‚ including some of the psychological and ethical issues. Breathing is the selected ADL that

Every day we are faced with decisions. “Choosing meaning and making decisions creates the who we are becoming.” (Pilkington‚ Jonas-Simpson‚ p.9) Not all decisions are life changing but have significant meaning and impact the future of our lives. Whether the decision is as minute as what to eat for breakfast or life changing regarding intubation if in respiratory distress. These decisions can be based on fear‚ prior knowledge‚ gathered information‚ values‚ and the quality of life we choose to

bacterial counts of 4.5 *10 6 to 4.3 *107 CFU/mL on the WN5 (microaerophilic) and the LSD plates for the cabbage in our experiment (Foster‚ 2009). The bacterial counts were the highest for the lactic acid producing bacteria. The initial salt saturation of 5% with the tap water. The lactic acid bacteria can tolerate the salt and it help deter the unwanted bacteria and aid in the production of acid. The following predictions for the five plates are as follows‚ the TSA plate will gradually increase

ABNORMAL ARTERIAL BLOOD GASES Arterial Blood Gases‚ or ABGs‚ measure the amounts of oxygen‚ carbon dioxide and acid/base level in the blood‚ according to Medline Plus‚ a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. ABGs are ordered if the patient has difficulty breathing‚ symptoms of an acid/base imbalance‚ or if a pre-existing condition is worsening‚ and blood is taken from an artery in the wrist‚ groin‚ or inside of the elbow. Respiratory Acidosis The kidneys and lungs work together
