everyone was giving their opinions about the new equipment they would be using. They discussed the benefits of it and how it would be set up. It was interesting for me to see. I learned about other types of wound that I did not know before like the mucosal membrane injury and how to tell all the different wounds apart. While on the floor with the nurses‚ I saw how they do their skin assessments to check for pressure ulcers or any kind of skin breakdown. They looked at patient’s elbows‚ back and their

These EFA are particular important in maintaining the structure of the cell membrane‚ but also produce Eicosanoids a group of regulatory molecules that influence/regulate physiological functions such as constriction/dilation of blood vessels & inflammatory response (Mann & Truswell‚ 2012; Smuts & Wolmarans‚ 2013).

contraction intensity and uterine resting tone. The sensitivity of the IUPC allows for very accurate timing of UCs‚ thus making it extremely useful when closer uterine monitoring is needed. A disadvantage for both internal monitoring methods is that membranes must be ruptured and adequate cervical dilation must be achieved for insertion. The procedure is invasive and increases the risk of uterine infection or perforation or trauma. It can also cause a placenta rupture if the placenta is low-lying.

When listening to the patient I would expect to hear crackles and wheezing. 2. Normal oxygen saturation is 95% to 100%. 3.Since the patient does have a history of diabetes and asthma‚ he has a higher risk of contracting viruses due to the fact that diabetes lowers your immune response‚ and asthma causes your airway to become more sensitive.

Case Study: Urinary‚ Fluid & Electrolyte balance The cardiovascular system and the urinary system are intimately entwined. When the cardiovascular system experiences stress‚ the urinary system can be directly impacted. For example in hemorrhagic shock‚ when the body is rapidly depleted of circulating blood volume‚ the kidneys are often one of the first vital organs affected due to lack of perfusion. The kidneys are dependent on the sufficient cardiac output that the heart delivers. So when the
