time?
Answers A - E
A Do not treat and determine if the parents are on the way

- GM is a 55 yo that just returned from visiting their sister in Arizona. They got a sunburn while out playing tennis and are seeking advice on how to manage their sunburn. The pharmacist looked at the patient's sunburn and gathered the following information from them: • NKDA (sensitive to adhesives and some topical anesthetics) • No current medications or medical conditions S - tightness and redness of the burnt skin without blistering; denies fever, chills, headache, or tiredness C - skin was only slightly pink yesterday, has turned deeper pinkish red today H - they haven't done anything to treat it so far O - burn appeared today (the morning after being outside) L - skin on their arms (just above elbow to wrist) and legs (midthigh to top of ankles) and back of neck where their tennis shirt and shorts did not adequately cover them; they were wearing a baseball hat and sunglasses.

Collagen deposition by vascular endothelial cells is critical in increasing the tensile strength of repaired wounds to approximately 100%. Angiogenesis involves the response of endothelial cells to growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) Activated fibroblasts produce collagen and fibronectin increasing the tensile strength of wounds Migration of fibroblasts in response to growth factors is an important component of the proliferation phasearrow_forwardThe surgical suturing of a defect in a muscular wall, such as the repair of a hernia, is a/an _____________________________.arrow_forward
- New research suggests a link between some microbes that normally live in the body and seemingly unrelated major illnesses. The gum disease called periodontitis itself is not life-threatening, for instance, but it is a fairly good predictor for heart attacks. Bacteria that cause gum disease can trigger inflammation. Thinking back to your reading in Chapter 7, how do you suppose that this response also may be harmful to the heart?arrow_forwardDiphtheria (diphtheria) spread through direct contact and aerosolized expulsions. C. diphtheriae have 3 substrains generation times - gravis (60 minutes), intermedius (100 minutes), and mitis (180 minutes). The gravis substrain is the most virulent as the toxic effects of diphtheria occur the fastest. Explain this in the terms of C. diphtheriae’s requirement for iron.arrow_forwardOur pharmacy is located near several pediatricians’ offices, and each of these pediatricians has a preferred mouth rinse for sore throat. One doctor writes a combination of lidocaine, antacid, and Benadryl for a sore throat. Depending on the cause of the sore throat, she may add nystatin, an antifungal medication, or acyclovir, an antiviral medication. A typical prescription will read: antacid 1 part, lidocaine 2 parts, Benadryl 1 part, and nystatin 4 parts; dispense 8 ounces. We have found one of the simplest ways to calculate the amount of each drug to mix is by using fractions. First we add up the total number of “parts,” and this becomes our denominator or bottom number. For this compound, the denominator is 1 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 8. The numerator or top number is how many parts of that ingredient are used. For example, two parts of the mixture are lidocaine, so lidocaine is 2/8 of the mixture. To calculate how many ounces of lidocaine are needed, the fraction is multiplied by the total…arrow_forward

He has poor vision and limited mobility due to arthritis. He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes two years ago. He is compliant with monthly diabetic checkups with his physician, and it was discovered that he had an ulcer at the plantar aspect of the right foot. Your patient has been treating the wound himself. Upon entering their premises you noticed that the wound dressing is fully soaked and flies have been roaming around on the right foot of your client. As a community health nurse what would be your nursing responsibility and priority on the given case?arrow_forwardA patient tells the nurse that he has been using an herbal supplement that contains kava for several years to help him to relax in the evening. However, the nurse notes that he has a yellow tinge to his skin and sclera, and is concerned about liver toxicity. The nurse advises the patient to stop taking the kava and to see his health care provider for an examination. What else, if anything, should the nurse do at this time? a )Report this incident to MedWatch. b )Notify the state’s pharmaceutical board. c )Contact the supplement manufacturer. d) No other action is needed.arrow_forward
