2.7 Monitoring physiological measurements it´s important to make sure the individual health status and also necessary after surgery, as patients in intensive care units require continuous monitoring, and sometimes have medications that requires physical measurements taken. These are measurements we take to ensure that they are functioning in the way they are supposed to. When we carry out physiological measurements, such as measuring temperature, pulse and respiration, we are monitoring for signs of abnormality. Then be able to draw conclusions about the health status of the individual and any treatments they may

health, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, blood sugar, and urine can be monitored self, and also can

An abnormal heartbeat can be an indicator for other issues, such as a damaged heart valve. The next step is checking percussion, this portion of the examination the provider will tap on the patient's chest and abdomen. The provider is looking and listening for a specific sound under normal conditions. If there is a change in fluids or air there will be a different sound. The last portion of the physical examination is palpation. The provider will apply pressure using his fingers feeling along the body regions and organs. Palpation provides information about the size of an organ and changes in its consistency, shape, and tenderness, and can help determine the presence of a foreign mass. Based on the results of Mr. Smith's physical examination the provider determined that additional labs would need to be drawn. The provider ordered a complete blood count, which includes: a platelet, red blood cell, and white blood cell count, as well as a blood potassium check. Mr. Smith's labs were not within the normal limits, so the provider admitted him into the hospital. Hospital staff treated his deficiencies and sent him

I. INTRODUCTION- Did you know about 234 million major surgeries are performed each year? Today surgeries are top notch and can fix almost anything, whether it is fixing a broken nose or a heart transplant. Although, where did surgery start out and how did it affect life? In The History of Philosophy: A Short Survey by James Fieser, Fieser explains how a couple of brilliant minds paved the way for a surgery and medicine take over the world. Before the Renaissance, everything was based on religion or god. Once people started to prove religion wrong with science the world was flipped upside down. Surgery in the Renaissance destroyed religion, because everything went from theory to fact.

There are many people who made accomplishments in their lives. While studying educational health, we learned about the father of medicine. His name is Imhotep, and he is an Egyptian. Imhotep learned in his country medicine where it has valid sources of studying this type of science. Eventually, he has become familiar among people in Egypt and successful physicist for long years there. According to Musso, Imhotep studied medicine including a combination of an outstanding empirical knowledge, and magic explanations. He mastered the human anatomy, and they had exemplary expertise in the art of applying bandages and the use of sutures (19).

I have been interested in medicine ever since I was young, when my mother caught studying her medical almanac with a flashlight, under the covers, every night during second grade. However, I was only seven, so studying was the child’s equivalent of looking at “pretty pictures” of coronary artery bypass grafts and intricate diagrams of alveoli. I became intrigued with human anatomy and how each body part works in harmony. Through my activities, I discovered a hands on approach to body functions. From kicking soccer balls to breaking boards with my feet and exhaling to play the flute, I have observed the body’s ability to perform and nothing takes my breath away like anatomy can. During my high school years, I observed a close family friend during his surgeries.

Women are often described as they are less than men. In the 19th century women were dominated by men and treated unequal, this made them feel lonely and isolated. Seeing that the 19th century society is different from today, because women were not permitted to work, they could not vote and even worst they could not have a word in anything. The short story "The Yellow Wallpaper” and also the narrator represent the impact of abuse of women in society. The narrator of the “Yellow Wallpaper” suffers from depression and her husband John is a physician. John as her husband and physician makes all decisions for her; this really bothers her, “but the narrator admits: if a physician of high standing,

In 2002 the CDC launched the Family History Public Health Initiative, based on the notion that family history although a simple and inexpensive form of genetic assessment is an under used but effective tool for identifying patients risks. It has long been taught as one of the core foundations of the medical interview, yet over the years these skills have been lost or overwhelmed by the pressures and time constraints of day to day practice (Orlando et al. 2011). Two of the stated goals of the CDC initiative are to develop tools to enhance family health history (FHH) collection and to evaluate whether family history-based strategies work. Primary health providers partner in studying the implementation of family history collection into the medical decision making process.

Vital signs are a fundamental component of nursing care and indicate the body’s ability to maintain blood flow, regulate temperature and regulate oxygenate the body tissue. Taking vital signs are essential in revealing any sudden changes in the body, which could potentially indicate clinical deterioration of the patient.

This passage presents a discussion about arguments concerning morality of the death penalty. This is an important debate to both proponents and opponents of the death penalty because of the serious implications of the punishment. The two positions argue whether or not the death penalty should be prohibited. Both viewpoints have valid claims warranting consideration. For example, evidence indicates that death sentence is both cruel and immoral. In contrast, opposing evidence suggests that is a moral punishment for certain offenders. While both sides of the issue have valid points, the claim that the death penalty should not be prohibited is the stronger position, the position supported by the preponderance of the evidence cited in the passage. The most convincing and forceful reasons in support of the position that capital punishment should still be used are that it is the only moral punishment for brutal and heinous crimes, that it is more humane than a life long prison sentence, and that it was found to be constitutional by the Supreme Court. Accordingly, these reasons and opposing viewpoint will be discussed next.

The head to toe physical assessment is to be performed in less than 10 minutes using a stethescope, pen light, your hands, and observational skills. It comprises of four different techniques: IPPA inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. This sequence, in apparent order, is used for al systems except for the abdominal assessment, which requires auscultation before palpation and percussion. Inspection is visually examining the person, focusing on one area of the body at a time. Palpation is using touch, feeling for texture, size, consistency, and location of body parts. Auscultation is listening for sounds within the body, mainly listening the lungs, heart, as well as the abdomen with the use of a stethoscope. Percussion is tapping an area of the body with the fingers and is usually a special assessment skill that the RN or physician uses, not a practical student nurse.

Vital signs are measurements of the body’s most basic functions. They are very useful in detecting and monitoring medical problems. There are five main types of vital signs which are temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and pain. They can be measured in a medical setting, at home, at the site of a medical emergency, or elsewhere.
