You take the vital signs for a patient who does not appear to be in any distress and denies complaints of pain or shortness of breath. His oxygen saturation is 87% on room air. You see in his previously charted vitals the saturation was 86%. You have two other patients that have requested your attention including one who has been waiting for a shower. What will you do next?

Answers

Answer 1
This patient would be considered a priority since this could be potentially life threatening. The oxygen saturation level needs to be addressed right now. This is an important part of being a medical professional deciding what patients are a priority over others. You would not just go give someone a shower and not do anything for the patient with a low oxygen saturation level.
Answer 2

The nurse must be immediately notified of the low oxygen saturation. she will have to assess and decide actions that need to be taken. Patients with low oxygen are at great risk for hypoxia.

What is hypoxia and its symptoms?

Hypoxia needs be treated immediately as a lack of oxygen to tissues and organs can cause some serious complications.

Anxiety, confusion and restlessness are early signs of hypoxia. If hypoxia is not taken care of in time, hypotension may develop. Activity tolerance and level of consciousness will decrease in the patients as hypoxia worsens.

Deep breathing and coughing techniques help patients clear the r airway while maintaining oxygen levels. Patients can be taught “controlled coughing” by having them take a deep breath in and cough deeply with slightly open mouth.

While some parents consider themselves to be their child’s friend, many parents believe that a parent should behave as a parent and not as a friend. In today’s world, do you think parents can communicate better with their children as friends, or that it will lead to a loss of authority and respect for the parent and poor discipline?

Answers

Parent's would communicate better with there kids as friends. This is due to friends being better and more comfortable to talk to because they are more open. As for kids and parent's they don't get along very well sometimes because the kid thinks the parent's are to bossy and parents might be way too harsh on the child. But I do think that parents should still keep their boundaries as a parent and not take this whole friendship with their children too far. But yes I feel like it would much better if the parent was more of a friend to the child because it would make the kids life so much better and more trustable.

Explanation:

Facts you might find useful

The auricle (pinna) is the visible portion of the outer ear. It collects sound waves and channels them into the ear canal (external auditory meatus), where the sound is amplified. The sound waves then travel toward a flexible, oval membrane at the end of the ear canal called the eardrum, or tympanic membrane.

Answers

Answer:

A treatment of antibiotics can cure a case of recurring diarrhea caused by food poisoning.

Explanation:

Food poisoning is due to the ingestion of food contaminated with bacteria or the toxins produced by them. The most common symptoms are diarrhea, abdominal pain and even vomiting and fever.

Bacteria such as salmonella, Listeria, Shigella or Escherichia coli can cause food poisoning, so proper treatment includes the use of antibiotics.  Parasites —such as Entamoeba hystolitica or Giardia lamblia— and viruses can cause food poisoning. Staphylococcus aureus produces a harmful toxin, also thought to cause toxic food infection for ingestion.

The other options are not correct because:

Gallstones are treated with surgery.Gastroesophageal reflux requires the use of prokinetic digestive drugs.Emesis caused by sudden motion sickness is treated with drugs for vertigo and antiemetics.

Tam, a college student, accidentally drops a pair of scissors on his foot one night, and the sharp edge cuts his foot. The cut does not stop bleeding, and Tam realizes he had forgotten to take his pills that morning. He goes to the campus emergency center and tells a nurse what had happened. What would a nurse most likely do to stop the bleeding quickly and effectively? apply a hemostatic drug directly on the cut so that clotting factors from the drug help the blood to clot apply clopidogrel directly on the cut so that platelet aggregation is inhibited and blood is able to come together in a clot administer a shot of a hemostatic drug in the arm so that the liver produces fewer clotting factors administer a shot of heparin deep into a vein in order to block clotting factor X and stop heavy blood flow to the foot

Answers

Answer:

What a nurse should do to stop the bleeding quickly and effectively is apply a hemostatic drug directly on the cut so that clotting factors from the drug help the blood to clot.

Explanation:

A haemostatic drug is an active agent that promotes the process of haemostasis, which involves stopping active bleeding or haemorrhage, helping the blood to clot.

Wounds are characterized by the rupture of blood vessels of different sizes, which causes bleeding. Although the body produces substances to stop the bleeding, some wounds can cause abundant bleeding that requires the use of hemostatic drugs, locally or administered orally or parenterally.

An example of a local haemostatic drug is Kaolin, a product that is used in local dressings and helps to activate coagulation and stop bleeding.

The other options are not correct in the treatment of Tam because

Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet agent that is administered orally, and promotes bleeding.The injections of some drugs do not cause fewer production of coagulation factors.Heparin is an anticoagulant that promotes bleeding.

Health hazards and safety hazards from welding, cutting, and brazing operations include all of the following except exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Thus, option C is correct.

What is Debris operations?

Debris operations are the waste management operations to keep the human inhabiting societies clean and disease free. This occurs in two phases, the initial and recovery phases. A health and safety concern during debris operations includes building materials exposure, such as asbestos and household hazardous waste.

A variety of heat- and corrosion-resistant, naturally occurring minerals are collectively referred to as asbestos (for example building or construction materials). The waste generated from the homes of human beings is called household waste. For example, fruit and vegetable waste.

The formation of pyrimidine dimers results from exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a type of physical mutagenic agent capable of causing mutations.The mutagenic agents can also be chemical agents (e.g., Ethidium Bromide is a chemical agent).

Is fitness more important than body weight?

Answers

Hi :)

Yes, I think it does not matter what shape or size your body is, it is very vital to move around, and not sit all day.
For those who are weighing themselves every day, their self-esteem lowers if they gain weight, which is why I do not weigh myself as I do not think a number should control me and what I eat.

Exercise! You have legs and arms for a reason, and they are not for sitting or lying down all day!

Even if you weigh 150kg, you can still exercise, move your body, walk, run or do a workout, but do not be effected by a number on the scales.
