Teaching Plan The learning objectives for this teaching plan are health promotion and prevention. As nurses it is important to promote good health and prevent disease. One goal for this teaching plan is that students will be able to promote respiratory heath in their patients. Another goal is that students will be able to learn how to prevent pneumonia in their patients. One intervention to promote health is to know who is at risk. Nurses need to know how to recognize who is at risk for pneumonia

Respiratory General Questions 1. What is the function of the epiglottis? a. The main function of the epiglottis is to prevent food and other particles from gaining entry into the trachea and other airways. 2. Do you see any anatomical reason why the right lung has more lobes than the left lung - and is subsequently larger and heavier? a. The right lung may be larger and heavier because it has more room to develop as such. The heart is roughly centered in the chest cavity; however‚ it is slightly

Respiratory Case Study 1. Differentiate between hospital acquired (nosocomial) and community acquired pneumonia. Nosocomial pneumonia is acquired during a hospital stay. It happens when a patient is admitted into the hospital with a medical diagnosis that they are hoping to be treated for and contract the infection of pneumonia through the spread of germs. “Nosocomial pneumonia (NP) clinically presents more than seven days after hospitalization with new fever‚ pulmonary infiltrates‚ and leukocytosis

I have chosen to discuss “Electronic Distractions of the Respiratory Therapist and Their Impact on Patient Safety” by Peter Papadakos. According to Richtel‚ Peter is “an anesthesiologist and director of critical care at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York”. As a medical professional‚ Peter had witnessed the effect of electronics first-hand in Medicare and wrote the article about it. The article centers around characteristics of professionalism and socialization within the profession

Bio Lab: The Effect of Exercise on The Respiratory and Circulatory Systems Ellie Cookson Communication: 2. As the graphs show‚ both breathing rates and pulse rates spike significantly between the resting rates and immediately after exercise. Average breathing rates went from 26.7 breaths/min at sitting rate to 46.4 breaths/min during or immediately after exercise. Pulse rates also increased quite dramatically‚ going from an average of 65 beats/min at rest rate to an average of 100.3 beats/min

again. So I decided to write it out. Here is my own journey in a seventh grade student that inhales that you will never experience again. It all started when a seventh grade student inhaled deeply in a Science Classroom. They were studying the Respiratory System in a human body. The teacher said to inhale and exhale deeply. So the student inhales and I decided to enter his nose with other molecules of oxygen to have a unique experience. After being smooched to enter his narrow nose‚ I saw several

The regions where the pain is coming from are where the sinuses are located. If the sinuses remain blocked for a long time‚ a secondary infection may result. This secondary infection is caused by bacteria‚ which are normally present within the respiratory tract. These bacteria multiply and cause a secondary infection in the paranasal

the body of which all perform various activities and all interrelate with at least one other system; the nervous system. The most complex of all body systems‚ the nervous system controls all functions within the body. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed through the mouth and nostrils into the lungs. The gas then diffuses through the alveolar walls and into the red blood cells. Carbon dioxide carried back

This assignment describes my own reflective experience while caring for a sick neonate with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in the neonatal unit. This has enabled me to explore the meaning and significance of my clinical practice and to recognise the complexities within it. The experience raises a number of issues frequently encountered in daily nursing practice. Within this assignment‚ I will be discussing a particular pre term baby with RDS and critically analyse the use of nasal continuous

Title: the mechanism of carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange in the respiratory of human Abstract The purpose of the experiment is to determine gas exchange activity in the respiratory system of human. The first lab for comparing the room and breathe temperature was to understand the function of the nasal cavity where the gas passed after an inhalation. The second lab for changing of chest circumference and abdomen circumference between inspiration and expiration was to know how the air moved in
