Advantages And Advantages Of Bariatrics

The ICU should be equipped with a recliner in every patient room, therefore 12 more recliners need to be purchased. Signage inside the patient’s room can be made by printing and laminating the AACN Early Progressive Mobility Protocol from their website with minimal cost. Total estimated cost including 12 recliners and staff education time: $ 10,200. Re-teaching will be implemented at staff meetings on a quarter-yearly basis and the ICU nurses will have the opportunity to provide constructive feedback. HCAP statistics will provide data regarding length of stay in the ICU, Ventilator and Health-care Acquired Pneumonias and Wound care will contribute the data for Decubitus occurrence.

The medical model, which originated in the 1950's, delivered high‐quality, standardized care to a large number of individuals. The care provided in long-term care facilities has traditionally been based on a medical model. This is characterized by nursing units with centralized nursing stations and long, doubly loaded corridors with shared bedrooms and bathrooms. Often, the finishes and ambiance are institutional and bare, and the setting provides few opportunities for residents to personalize their environments. Residents follow a rigid routine that dictates when they eat and when they sleep. The medical model involves the use of medical jargon, which can be problematic for residents and families. The medical model also focused on the individual’s

The pathophysiology of obesity is when there is a buildup of excess body fat. This excess body fat is determined by calculating a person body mass index (BMI). The BMI is calculated by an individual’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of a person’s height in metersthis allows us to come up with appropriate range of weight to an individual’s height. The body mass index is used to find out if an individual is overweight or obese. Individuals who’s BMI that have a range of 25 to 29.99 are thought to be pre- obese and overweight When an individual body mass index has surpassed 30kg this person is considered obese. As an individual’sBMI increases they become part of a different class of obesity there’s class I which is 30-34.9, class II

Weight loss or bariatric surgery, as defined by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, is a surgery that “works by changing the anatomy of your gastrointestinal tract” or by “causing different physiologic changes in your body that change your energy balance and fat metabolism.” Weight loss surgery ultimately changes a person’s desire

Strokes, heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, breathing disorders are all factors of obesity: these are some things people go through, when struggling with weight. The New England Journal of Medicine, patients with obesity were given “life style coaches” to help them lose weight (“Is”). Obesity is a deadly thing people cannot control their weight the right way. Gastric bypass surgery is something to treat obesity, a problem that increases in body weight, physical appearance of people, which causes weight gain. When obesity is not treated properly, there are many stipulations that can go wrong, affecting most of the organs: heart, liver, kidneys. Gastric bypass is an alternative to get rid of it. Gastric bypass is a surgical procedure that

Patients are given rooms that they share with a roommate generally from a similar professional background or shares similar hobbies. This encourages building of partnerships and sharing of medical notes.

“Bariatrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the causes, prevention, and treatment of obesity” (“Medical Dictionary,” 2015). Bariatric surgery is a specific discourse community connecting individuals through mutual interests, shared knowledge, and expertise of treating obese populations. The field of bariatric surgery is a discourse community with several purposes. It encourages innovative surgical and nonsurgical solutions in obesity care. It formulates hypotheses and develops and conducts experimental designs to test the hypotheses’ reliability and validity. Furthermore, it aims to stimulate discussion about its findings.

What is obesity? The word obesity came from the Latin word obesus, which means “that has eaten itself fat”. Obesus is the past participle of the word obdere, ob meaning “over” and edere meaning “eat” (“Obese”). The meaning of obesity has not changed all that much from these Latin origins. The dictionary defines obesity as the condition of being very fat or overweight (“Obesity”). Or in simplest terms “overeating”. It is impossible to rate if someone is obese or not based on this definition alone, so in the medical field it is said that anyone with a body mass index (BMI), a measurement that compares your weight to your height to give you a rating, of 30 or more is considered obese (Haslam, Philip). The controversy of obesity gained media attention

In my workplace, we have recently implemented that if a patient is admitted from the ER or directly admitted from a physician’s office and they have any sensory impairment we must order them a “Stryker” overlay mattress. The stryker softcare overlay mattress is a single patient use mattress put in place in hope of preventing pressure ulcers. The mattress works by redistributing pressure to other areas by removing the constant pressure on pressure points along boney surfaces. This assist

The literature review was organized in a pattern that explained the difficulties one has after receiving bariatric surgery. The investigator incorporates previous studies completed that were relevant to this study. There was no apparent gap in the data that was presented. The investigator uses secondary sources and does not utilize any primary sources in displaying background data. Despite the rich data that the literature review contained, it was poorly organized and could have used the help of headings to better understand the investigator s ideas. The literature review was combined in with the introduction which made it difficult to read. Despite the confusion, the rationale for framing the research question was very clear and directly followed the literature review.

Only a few studies in nursing research provide some kind of study that looks into experiences of patients who choose to undergo bariatric surgical procedures or investigation. Within the growth of science in bariatric nursing, there is that need of information to support both the patient that is receiving the care and the physician that is providing the care and the support. In this time of continues growth in this bariatric procedures, it is a most that all healthcare providers initiate and Evaluate necessary changes in practice that will enhance the well-being and health of patients that undergo this procedure. With the current increase in the rate of obesity, people have now turned to bariatric surgery because they

According to Dr. Hatzifotis (Surgery Brisbane, 2017) the gastric sleeve is the most common procedure of bariatric surgery around the world. This procedure involves a surgery where the surgeon permanently removes about seventy percent of the stomach. By this, the surgeon will leave a narrow stomach tube instead of a stomach sack and due to this the stomach is reduced from 1.5 litres of food and liquid to two hundred millilitres (mls).

Then two articles I choose to review are “Bariatric Surgery isn’t one size fits all” by n.p , and “Bariatric Surgery Information “ by n.p. I used the Opposing Viewpoints database to review “Bariatric Surgery isn’t one size fits all” and the web based review was from Pacific bariatric.com/surgery-information. I happened to choose these two articles to inquiry more information about bariatric surgery. I have been researching the procedures and the pro and cons of each surgery along with the risk factors.
