Shock troops

Case Study Julia Atungsiri Purdue University Global Case study 1. What is the significance of the orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, abdominal tenderness, hematuria, joint pain, and petechiae? What is splinter hemorrhages and what is their significance? Orthostatic hypotension is the reduction of the systolic pressure of at least 20mmHG or the dropping of diastolic pressure of at least 10mmHg within three minutes of standing as compared to baseline as such, the body is often unable

Hypovolemic shock is an emergency condition caused by loss of whole blood (hemorrhage), plasma (burns), or interstitial fluid (diaphoresis, diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, emesis, diuresis, and diarrhea) in large amounts. This makes the heart unable to pump enough blood to the body (Heller, 2014). The severe compromise in blood flow and therefore systemic perfusion contributes to cerebral, renal, or hepatic ischemia and possible organ failure. It is the most common type of shock in children

conducted their experiment on dogs, where they could study the causes and effects of learned helplessness. There were 3 groups of dogs: the escape group, the np-escape group, and the no-harness control group. The purpose of the experiment used electrical shocks to test Seligman's and Maier's psychological theory. When the experiment was completed, the results collected were as follows: In the escape group, the time it took for the dogs to press the panel and

the seven minutes or over. When organizing my presentation I wanted to end with the stories, because I wanted to end with the shock of a

A Critique of Stanley Milgram’s “Behavioral Study of Obedience” Stanley MIlgram is a Yale University social psychologist who wrote “Behavioral Study of Obedience”, an article which granted him many awards and is now considered a landmark. In this piece, he evaluates the extent to which a participant is willing to conform to an authority figure who commands him to execute acts that conflict with his moral beliefs. Milgram discovers that the majority of participants do obey to authority. In

Design Proposal Report for Fatigue Monitoring System (FMS) By Alvin Kuan, Sarah Fink, Shian Su and Suliman Altaleb 1. Abstract This paper presents some background briefing, implantation, ethical responsibility, and action plan of FMS design plan. FMS is a model purposely designed to detect and measure fatigue variables, i.e., blinking rate, yawning rate and head tilt for fatigue predictions. In addition, FMS will establish a crude estimate of fatigue and warns the user if a threshold has been

left side from compensating for my left side 's atrophy and weakness. The pressure of walking, even cane -assisted, causes extreme tenderness from the onset. When I walk about 100 feet, the stabbing pain in my lower left back and sometimes the shock in my left leg, debilitate me to the point where I must sit down, even though sitting violates workplace policy. Sometimes when I walk, my left hip pains me as if the hip will slip out of joint. When this occurs, I will freeze in place to calm down

The concept of critical care nursing has transformed intensely since its origin in the 1960’s. The discipline of nursing and the specialty of critical care nursing are expected to advance and transform, just the way health care delivery system has reformed over the last few decades (Morton & Fontaine, 2013). Never before have there been significant advancements in technology, surgeries, therapies, imaging alternatives, diverse procedures, pharmacology and innovative research modalities being delivered

nervousness. Though shell-shock was a new phenomenon, it was not the first war related nervousness. Indeed, 1.2 million soldiers were wounded or sick, a quarter of which were admitted to hospitals as psychiatric casualties . These numbers are immense and when put in perspective with a general public, demand to be spoken about. With the wide spread introduction of neurasthenia, disordered action of the heart and, what we now know as, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) , shell-shock became an umbrella

Failure to Escape Traumatic Shock by Seligman and Maier The purpose of this study was to determine the type of learning acquisition in dogs that were subjected to three different styles of electric shock. They wanted to determine what method of learning worked the best to avoid a shock for an extended period of time. Each of the three groups of dogs learned escape/avoidance training, however the "escape" group and the "yoked" group gained more training than the normal control group. The "escape"
