Review: Moral Distress Experienced by Nurses Data Sources: A literature review was performed using the following databases: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsychInfo, Web of Science and Cochrane Library for articles published between January 1984 and December 2011 on nurses’ moral distress. This review was inclusive of studies that featured: empirical research with a quantitative study design, addressed moral distress experienced by nurses, based on a conceptual framework of moral distress as defined by

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a breathing disorder that affects newborns. RDS rarely occurs in full-term infants. The disorder is more common in premature infants born about 6 weeks or more before their due dates. It usually develops in the first 24 hours after birth. RDS is more common in premature infants because their lungs aren't able to make enough surfactant. Surfactant is a liquid that is produced from the alveolar type two cells and coat the inside of the lungs. It breaks up the

Introduction Acute respiratory distress syndrome, also known as ARDS, is the abrupt collapse of the respiratory system. It can advance in anyone 1 year and older who is critically ill. An individual with ARDS has accelerated breathing, difficulty getting adequate air into the lungs and decreased blood oxygen levels. ARDS normally develops in people who have major injuries or already ill with another disease. ARDS is usually a hospital acquired disease. ARDS is normally grouped with an almost indistinguishable

MEMORANDUM RE: Intentional Infliction of emotional distress Relevant Facts George worked for the Charlotte Bobcats based in Charlotte, NC. George has a contract that guarantees his employment with the Bobcats for a period of 5 years. Jerry, who is George’s boss, wants to get rid of him NOW. Jerry resolves to using tactics to make conditions with the Bobcats uncomfortable for George to entice him to quit. George eventually quits after Jerry turned off his air conditioner in mid-July

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), also known as hyaline membrane disease (HMD), is a disease that predominantly affects premature neonates. It is due to a deficiency in surfactant which is vital in increasing lung compliance, preventing atelectasis at the end of expiration, and promoting the recruitment of collapsed alveoli by reducing surface tension. Its other name, HMD, is derived from the characteristic histological findings in early post mortems of premature babies, hyaline membranes were

inflicted emotional distress which resulted in Taylor’s loss of twenty pounds, extreme nervousness, loss of his union membership and his job? Brief Answer Probably yes. Under Massachusetts law, a plaintiff has a claim for an intentional infliction of emotional distress if all of the following elements are satisfied: (1) the defendant intended, knew or reasonably have known that his conduct will result in the emotional distress; (2) the defendant’s

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), “is a developmental deficiency in surfactant synthesis accompanied by lung immaturity and hypoperfusion” (Blackburn, 2013, p. 342). Based on the above scenario, there are so many factors that could lead to surfactant deficiency and I would like to discuss on three factors like preterm birth, poorly controlled diabetes, and cesarean section as the reasons for RDS. First factor that places this infant at risk for RDS is being a preterm infant. Normally the lungs

CLINICAL CLARIFICATION o Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in neonates is a heterogeneous syndrome most often caused by pulmonary surfactant deficiency in the lungs. [1,2] CLASSIFICATION o Acute respiratory distress syndrome can be classified into three exclusive categories based on the degree of hypoxemia: [1]  Mild (200 mm Hg < PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 300 mm Hg)  Moderate (100 mm Hg < PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 200 mm Hg)  Severe (PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 100 mm Hg) DIAGNOSIS CLINICAL PRESENTATION History o Most commonly

Introduction: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) which is presented by higher respiratory rate than normal range for age and other clinical symptoms and signs including grunting, nasal flaring, retraction and cyanosis [5] have a variety of causes in newborn infants and other pediatrics. The main causes of RDS in newborns including lack of pulmonary surfactant in preterm neonates, transient tachypnea of newborns, Meconium aspiration syndrome, infections, pneumothorax due to artificial ventilation

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening lung condition that prevents enough oxygen from getting to the lungs and into the bloodstream. According to Kacmarek, Stoller and Heuer, “ it has been proposed that ARDS can develop via different mechanisms and the risk factors for ARDS should be categorized either by direct injury to the alveolar space or indirect injury initiated by systemic disease (2014, p. 601)”. Common direct injuries to the lungs can include pneumonia, lung
