Unit 2 Case Study
For this myocardial infarction, the right coronary artery was blocked. The parts of the heart that were affected by this blockage was the right atrium, the right ventricle, the interventricular septum, the Sinoatrial node and the AV node, and some parts of the left atrium and ventricle. These parts were affected because the right coronary artery supplies blood to these parts of the heart; since there was a blockage the blood was not able to continue through the right coronary arteries into its branches, which are the sinoatrial nodal artery, the right marginal branch, the posterior interventricular branch, and the atrioventricular nodal artery (Gest).
Once deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium, it travels through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. Then the blood goes through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary arteries. Once in the pulmonary arteries the blood is pumped into the lungs where it is then oxygenated. The blood goes from the lungs through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium. From there it passes through the bicuspid valve into the left ventricle where it is then pumped out through the aortic semilunar valve into the aorta (Drake 101). From the aorta the blood goes to the right and left coronary arteries.

The dying cardiac cells from the heart stimulated visceral afferents which followed the sympathetic fibers to the spinal cord. The reason the referred pain was in the left shoulder was because the visceral afferents enter the spinal cord between T1 to T4, which is the same location that somatic sensory fibers through the posterior roots. Both the somatic sensory fibers and the visceral afferents synapse on interneurons and secondary neurons which causes the brain to be unable to distinguish between the two signals (Drake 114). This causes the pain to be felt in the left
IgG – funtions in neutralizing, opsonation, compliment activation, antibody dependent cell-mediated cytocity, neonatal immunity, and feedback inhibition of B-cells and found in the blood.
The oxygen rich blood returns from the lungs and it goes through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium.
Scenario: John is a 4 year-old boy who was admitted for chemotherapy following diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). He had a white blood cell count of 250,000. Clinical presentation included loss of appetite, easily bruised, gum bleeding, and fatigue. Physical examination revealed marked splenomegaly, pale skin color, temperature of 102°F, and upper abdomen tenderness along with nonspecific arthralgia.

1. Write a client outcome to help Mrs. Ross resolve the symptoms (i.e., defining characteristics). Refer to Section III (beginning on p. 119) of the Ackley and Ladwig text.
Likewise, Blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle, and then is pumped to the lungs to receive oxygen. From the lungs, the blood flows to the left atrium, then to the left ventricle, forming the complete circulation.
In a normal human being the heart correctly functions by the blood first entering through the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. This blood flow continues through the right atrioventricular valve into the right ventricle. The right ventricle contracts forcing the pulmonary valve to open leading blood flow through the pulmonary valve and into the pulmonary trunk. Blood is then distributed from the right and left pulmonary arteries to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is unloaded and oxygen is loaded into the blood. The blood is returned from the lungs to the left
Scott Starson, a brilliant physicist has been in and out of mental institutions due to his bipolar disorder. He was lastly admitted again after he made death threats to his roommates and was found not criminally responsible for that offense. His physicians suggested different sorts of treatment for his illness. Scott Starson refused to give consent to the treatment for reason that he had a scientific research to finish and he didn’t want the medications to slow him down. His physicians not finding him competent enough to critically make that kind of decision, brought the case
The blood travels through arteries and then through Arterioles and finally through capillaries until they reach the Alveoli air sacs within the lungs. This is where gas exchange occurs. Then the oxygenated blood returns back to the heart through
The applicants are morally correct as long as their action promotes their long term interest. If their action produces or will produce for them a greater outcome of good, versus evil in the long hall than any other alternative, than that action is the right one to act on, and the individual should take that to be a moral act.

* Pulmonary System * Return blood from the body to the right atrium, low in oxygen * Arrives in 2 large veins * 1) superior (upper) vena cava * 2) inferior vena cava * right atrium contracts and sends deoxy blood to right ventricle * passes through right AV valve tricupsid * right ventricle contacts and sends blood to lungs via pulmonary artery * passes through pulmonary valve * right ventricle powers the movement of blood through the pulmonary circulation * blood that returns to the left atrium from lungs *
1. Table 8.1 shows results of an eight-center clinical trial to compare a drug to placebo for curing an infection. At each center, subjects were randomly assigned to two groups.
Both the right and left atrium contract causing blood to flow though the two valves, and then into the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation through the aorta. This systemic circulation system is much bigger than the pulmonary circulation system, which is why the left ventricle is so big. The blood on the left side of the heart is oxygenated. It becomes oxygenated when the deoxygenated blood passes through the right atrium and then flows into the left ventricle. It is then pumped along the pulmonary artery into the lungs where it is oxygenated. It then travels through the pulmonary veins back into the heart. It enters through the left atrium and then travels to the left ventricle. This process is repeated over and over again, to make blood continuously flow through the heart, lungs and body. This process ensures that there is always enough oxygen for the body to work
Scenario: An elderly woman showed symptoms of near syncope and was admitted via ambulance to a small community hospital. She experienced an inability to move on her own and almost lost consciousness while watching her grandson play basketball. Her symptoms occurred during a visit to her daughter’s home, which is approximately 150 miles from Liza’s home. When Liza was admitted to the hospital, her daughter explained the numerous types and dosages of medications her mother was taking. She also mentioned that Liza had not been taking her Coumadin as directed by her physician for the past week or so. Liza was admitted to the intensive care unit for evaluation. Over the course of hospitalization, Liza’s condition worsened.
