Using the guidelines in Wilson & Giddens ’ Ch. 11 and videos‚ perform a respiratory assessment process on a patient or a significant other. Write up your findings following the guidelines and post them here. It is important for nurses in all practice settings to be able to perform a basic respiratory assessment. This includes taking a pertinent patient history and using the techniques of inspection‚ palpation‚ percussion‚ and auscultation. Immediately upon meeting a patient I am looking to

1. Triple DES Triple DES was designed to replace the original Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm‚ which hackers eventually learned to defeat with relative ease. At one time‚ Triple DES was the recommended standard and the most widely used symmetric algorithm in the industry. Triple DES uses three individual keys with 56 bits each. The total key length adds up to 168 bits‚ but experts would argue that 112-bits in key strength is more like it. Despite slowly being phased out‚ Triple DES still

The proposed method is illustrated as a flow chart in Fig 3. First‚ the source node broadcast the RREQ to neighbor nodes. The neighbor nodes forward the Route Request (RREQ) to the destination node. Destination node stores the neighbor RREQ in a table and checks the RREQ. If RREQ is from the true Source node address‚ then the system is regular and begins to transmit test data packets otherwise repeat the process. Next‚ it will check the packet delivery ratio if packet delivery ratio drops to threshold

The Respiratory System The human respiratory system plays a very important part in our bodies. Without it‚ we wouldn’t be alive! We need air to move through our bodies at all times. Breathing‚ is a key necessity for life. Our respiratory system is made up of many organs that all work together. The goal of breathing is to deliver oxygen to the body and take away carbon dioxide. The respiratory system organs all work together‚ like a engine in a car‚ they all have a important role. Some

ACTIVITY 1: THE RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out the neuron through the K+ leak channels? When the diffusion is greater on one side‚ the other side will slow down. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did the results compare with your predictions? There are two potassium’s for every sodium so the increase of potassium will make it more

The respiratory rate is a very important tool through which it is possible to recognise early signs of deterioration of a patient (Philip‚ Richardson & Maurice Cohen 2013‚ p. 570). Despite this‚ there is an increasing amount of cases in which healthcare professionals‚ nurses in particular‚ do not routinely assess and document this important vital sign correctly (Massey & Meredith 2010‚ p. 538). This essay will discuss the reasons why healthcare professionals are likely to omit assessing and documenting

Anatomy of the Respiratory System Nose and Nasal Cavity The nose and nasal cavity form the main external opening for the respiratory system and are the first section of the body’s airway—the respiratory tract through which air moves. The nose is a structure of the face made of cartilage‚ bone‚ muscle‚ and skin that supports and protects the anterior portion of the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is a hollow space within the nose and skull that is lined with hairs and mucus membrane. The function

oxygen and respiratory disease. Respiratory disease is the term used for defining diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)‚ emphysema and asthma. Common signs and symptoms of respiratory disease are coughing‚ wheezing‚ dyspnoea and production of abnormal secretions like sputum and haemoptysis (Jenkins et al 2008). Respiratory disease accounted for 8.4% of the registered deaths in Australia in 2007. There was an estimated 6.6% increase in deaths caused by respiratory disease from
