Pediatric Lab Assignment For this assignment, my groupmates and I decided to use the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale. We chose this assessment because our patient was a chronological age of thirteen months (premature 1 week, 9 days) and were aiming to look at her gross motor function in the following areas: reflexes, stationary, locomotion, object manipulation. Our results provided us with raw scores of: 12 for reflexes, 36 for stationary, 53 for locomotion and 1 for object manipulation. Due to our patient, Olivia, being premature we decided to compare her percentile ranks to her chronological age and her corrected age. Upon doing so, we found that our patient was in higher percentile ranks for her corrected age than her chronological age.
There are 9 types of health care facilities that are accredited by the Joint Commission. The Ambulatory Health Care accreditation, encompassing organizations and facilities that provide outpatient services of medical/dental nature as well as diagnostic, surgical, and therapeutic services. Other types of facilities that are accredited are critical access hospitals, hospitals, laboratories, office-based surgical centers, and nursing care centers. There is also Home Care services, the Opioid Treatment Program, and the Behavioral Health Care Program. Critical Access Hospitals meet special requirements regarding patient beds and LOS. Hospitals that are accredited include general and specialty hospitals.
The mole is a convenient unit for analyzing chemical reactions. Avogadro’s number is equal to the mole. The mass of a mole of any compound or element is the mass in grams that corresponds to the molecular formula, also known as the atomic mass. In this experiment, you will observe the reaction of iron nails with a solution of copper (II) chloride and determine the number of moles involved in the reaction. You will determine the number of moles of copper produced in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the number of moles of iron used up in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and determine the number of atoms and formula units involved in
a) Tap and drag over the area of the graph where the resting heart rate is displayed to select the data.
Physical development in children is an important area and is usually expected to happen automatically as they grow. The important areas are gross motor skills,
| * Gross motor progression; able to walk and run skilfully, sit on a small chair, push and pull objects, stack objects, climb on and off furniture, grasp and throw objects i.e. ball. * Fine motor progression; can scribble holding a pencil, able to use hand twist and turn i.e. door knob, can tip and pour, use a spoon to feed themselves.
An association between enzyme production, gene copy number, and gene evolution was explored by conducting analysis of the salivary amylase enzyme, AMY1A gene copy number, and the ancestral starch consumption in Homo Sapiens (Tracey 2017, p.22). It was hypothesized that the relative amount of starch consumption was very high for my personal ancestral diet, thus my AMY1 diploid gene copy number in my genome and salivary amylase concentration would be significantly higher than the population mean. With a population of 28 subjects (n=28), individual saliva samples were collected and compared to a calibration curve to determine the approximate amylase concentration by analyzing absorbance values. Individual samples of buccal cheek cells were
Children develop gross motor skills at different age norms which are affected by their culture and can vary (Berger, 2014). In order to gain information, we need to educate and understand this development, we have to conduct research. We are looking for new information and theories. Although surveys are a great way to collect a large amount of data the information gained is only as sound as the subject. This is why we need other avenues for research, and we need parental support to make that happen.
Texas children's hospital isn't that a place for kids with cancer? I can remember asking my mom that question when she told me what Doctor I was being sent to next. When I was in seventh grade I had noticed for the first time a pain like no other pain I had ever felt in my left calf. After two ER trips, multiple MRIs and X-rays, and countless trips to my pediatrician, my doctor decided I needed to be seen by a specialists. So off to Texas children's hospital my mom and I went. Little did I know my life was about tt take a drastic change and would never be the same again.
* They begin in some instances to feed themselves, though lacking the needed coordination, resulting in a lot of mess.
Alexander, Enrique, and Alexis are the names of the children I observed. They have different gross motor skills and fine motor skills. However, their differences are in the sophistication of each ability. Alexander, who is 7 years old is very active. He was jumping and trying to count by jumping on the tile floors to see how many there were across the living room. He is developing typically to his age. What has influenced this level of physical development is the amount of myelin in the brain increases and raises the speed at which electrical impulses travel between neuron. Which, makes massages reach muscles more rapidly and control them better. Enrique, in the other hand, his physical development is more sophisticated than Alexander’s.
This lab and its procedures are all about finding out the unknown identification of a given bacteria. The lab consists of specific techniques, tests, chemicals, and vocabulary that are necessary for the finding of the bacterial identity. A bacterium is randomly assigned and it is a group effort to find the bacteria name through many of its specialties and characteristics. An example of classifying it would be to determine whether the bacteria is catalase negative or positive, or if the species is gram negative or positive. This lab is of huge significance because of its medical microbiology connections. Scientists Gurtler and Stanisich explained the connections more eloquently. They stated, in their medical article, that, “Medical microbiology
Because CP describes a group of neurological and physical abnormalities, people affected by the disorder may have other neurological and physical problems. CP may not be noticeable at birth. Children with CP develop predictable developmental milestones slowly because of their motor impairments, and these delays in reaching milestones are usually the first symptoms (Gale Enc). Doctors diagnose CP by checking the infant’s motor skills, looking for developmental delays, and considering the child’s medical history. Many Doctors use the Early Motor Pattern Profile (EMPP) to help in their evaluations. The EMPP indicates variations in muscle tone, reflexes, and movement and is used to identify children during the first year of life who are at risk for the development of CP. The EMPP can be done during a routine office visit. Observation and minimal handling can detect abnormal motor patterns, making it quick and inexpensive. EMPP is the beginning of evaluation and intervention (“Early” 692). CP is a neurological disorder affecting motor control. It is the most common physical disability in childhood. It is a lifelong condition that varies from person to person. It can be very mild or extremely severe. There is no known cure, and the cause is not completely understood. The four main categories of CP are spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed. Spastic is stiff and difficult movement. Athetoid is involuntary and uncontrolled movement. Ataxic is a disturbed sense of balance and
After discovering my passion for science and math, I pursue a career in Clinical Laboratory Science with enthusiasm. My desire to study this subject originates from the exciting and rapidly-moving subject area that is highly relevant to major issues facing society today. Clinical Laboratory Scientists play a crucial role in the healthcare field; in detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease in patients. My goal is to be involved in the latest advances in medical research and to constantly be expanding my knowledge about my field. On top of this goal, Clinical Laboratory Science remains a challenging, rewarding and inspiring topic that will motivate and shape my career for my entire life.
As children progress through the early stages of their lives they will continually reach milestones that are somewhat of a tracker as to where they stand in their development, but at the same time it’s important to remember that even though there are suggested milestones as to a maturing task for a specific age and month, each child may mature differently than the next. One part of this progress that children will continually develop through in the early stages of their lives is motor skill development, which is the use of their larger and smaller muscles to perform adult like tasks. More specifically this development can be categorized into fine and
Motor skills involve movement of muscle in the body (John, 2009). These are larger movements such as crawling, running, and jumping (John, 2009). Most of the gross motor development occurs during childhood (John, 2009). Gross motor skills have two principals that determent how a child will regularly develop (Center of diseases Control and Prevention, 2016). Head to toe development this means the upper parts of the body will develop before the lower parts of the body (John, 2009). Children develop these skills throughout play (John, 2009). A tree year old Toddler can be very active therefore participating in activity that require movement, coordination, and balance can be beneficial to help a toddler to develop their motor skills (Jan, Beth & Melissa, 2012). A 3 year old child can throw a ball but catching it is more difficult. They start walking with good posture similar to an adult; they can also walk backwards (Jan, Beth & Melissa, 2012). A 3 year old can run which required strength and balance, during running they should be able to rotate their trunk and swing their arms (John, 2009). By the age of 3 a child walks up and down stairs alternating their feet without support which is possible because their balance has increase (John, 2009). A 3 year old child also learns to jump from a step and learn to jump forward (Center of diseases Control and Prevention, 2016). They start hopping at the age of 3 ½ and also can stand on one foot (Center of diseases Control and Prevention, 2016). Skipping requires sequencing and rhythm which makes it more difficult this include step and hop patterns.
