Eosinophilic esophagitis is essentially inflammation of the esophagus. In this case Flovent is not inhaled but swallowed. Flovent HFA is released into the mouth without being inhaled and is then swallowed in order to coat the esophagus. The idea is that the anti-inflammatory action of the corticosteroid will reduce the inflammation inside the esophagus. The study was carried out on forty-two participants all between the ages of three and sixty-five.…
The big question everyone has argued for so long is "What precisely was Chris McCandless?", from the book “Into the wild”. Many argue Chris was a "nutcase" or a "sociopath", wile others call him "a hero" or “a true transcendentalist", in his travels. I, however, say Chris was a lost, ignorant young man who was just looking for more in life and wanted to find it out for himself by going on his own Odyssey. Chris McCandless shows much of his ignorance in multiple incidences of his travels by contradicting his own actions. In one instance, McCandless burns all his money to prove he doesn't need it and that people can live without it.…
Dr. Gregory House is a 55-year-old single man; he lives in an apartment by himself and is the head of Diagnostic Medicine at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Dr. Houses’ father was abusive in some instances he would make House take a cold bath and sleep outside thus leading to a very strained relationship between the two. Additionally, Dr. Houses ' relationship with his mother was tainted by her cheating on his father. In his mid-30’s, Dr. House suffered an infarction in his leg (necrosis of the muscle in his leg caused by obstruction of circulation). In order to treat him, doctors removed the dead muscle in his leg.…
“The trip was to be an odyssey in the fullest sense of the world, an epic journey that would change everything.” (Krakauer 22) Chris McCandless, not liking the lifestyle he was raised in, left home as soon as college was over. He made a few friends before wandering into the wild alone. To some people he was a hero, but to others he was a coward. Although Chris McCandless finds many jobs along the way, he is still a fool because he turns down offers from other people, burns all of his money, and is not prepared to live in Alaska.…
But for this patient, it did nothing more than basically put him to sleep. The doctor is panicking because “the man will not die” (Selzer 145). Somewhere in his mind, the doctor is uncomfortable with his decision of taking this man’s life. The family knew what would happen if the doctor gave this man more morphine. As the man laid in his bed, rolling around in agonizing pain, the family continues to tell the doctor to “do it, do it now” (Selzer 143).…
On a bright, clear blue Saturday afternoon a 47-year-old postman, by the name of Jason Kruse, came into Mercy Hospital. He was telling us about this horrific persistent cough that he just could not get rid of. He’s a long-term smoker. Been smoking for the past 20-30 years. He thought it was normal considering that he was a smoker.…
Introduction Perfusion is a very important aspect to the human body. Perfusion is defined as the flow of blood through arteries and capillaries that deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing cellular waste from the body (Giddens, 2013, p. 148). For us to maintain optimal perfusion, we need are heart to generate sufficient cardiac output. This means transporting the blood through patent blood vessels to supply the tissues throughout the body. Impaired perfusion may occur when the blood supply is reduced or completely interrupted (Giddens, 2013, p. 148).…
Shadowing a Health Care Professional My grandmother recently suffered from a hearth attack; therefore she was placed in a rehabilitative center for a couple of weeks. Over spring break I periodically visited her. Many different health care professionals saw her during her stay.…
Do you recommend journaling to your patients? If not, why not? I have not talked with my patients about journaling, I have, on the other hand, stressed the importance have putting a folder together that would include medication’s they take, and updating the list the first day of the month, also to include any surgeries, procedures along with a list of any thing they may have been diagnosed with. I work in the ER, and I can’t tell you how many people I see who have no idea the names of the medications they are on and why they are taking them. Some times a family member will come with the patient to the ER, the patient is unable to speak, and when I ask them some simple questions like, “ what surgeries have they had in the past?”, they have…
I came across a report Racial Bias in Health Care and Health penned by Dr. David R. Williams and Dr. Ronald Wyatt which discusses racial and ethnic disparities from a health care perspective and why steps should be taken to address it. He shares his experience when confronted with implicit and explicit bias as a patient at a local hospital. Implicit bias is behavior that results from subtle implicit attitudes and implicit stereotypes that often happen unconsciously and without any overt intent. I personally connect to this article as I recall several instances where my mother, grandmother and I were involved with medical personnel who we felt treated us negatively due either to biases, microagression, lack of cultural humility/sensitivity,…
This incident motivated him to start taking his medication again, all though he did not like the way that the medication made him…
A man goes to see his local clinician. He reports that he has the flu; nothing too serious at the first thought. He did not plan to see a doctor, but in the past few days he has become too weak to work and that morning started to cough up blood. He contemplated whether he should go to the hospital, but he remembered the news saying that there was an overflow of patients and a rather large proportion waited for hours to receive treatment, so he resorted to the clinic His doctor sadly explains that he does not know what was happening to the man's body, but there have been hundreds of more reports of the same symptoms. The man asked what he should do about it.…
Introduction to the Dental Hygiene profession has been a complete and enjoyable class that set the core all the clinical documentation and protocol to follow here at Fortis college. As part of this class the instructor had create a variety of interactive assignments where students get to experience what it feels when having a real patient in front of them. Such was the clinic observation activity where we, the lower clinic class, had the opportunity to observe how students of a higher class were handling a full clinic section with the help of their high qualified instructors. One of the expectations I had for this activity was that I would be able to see the process of care in action, since the clinician brings the patient to the operatory…
Difference in Competencies between Associates vs. Baccalaureate Nurses Tara Garofalo Grand Canyon University: NRS-430V-0191 April 6, 2014 There has been much debate over the years about the differences in competencies between Associates Degree nurses (ADN) versus Baccalaureate Degree (BSN) nurses. In this paper I will discuss my findings and also give a patient care situation in which I describe how nursing care or approaches to decision-making may differ based upon the educational preparation of the nurse BSN versus a diploma or ADN degree. Besides the difference in time, credits and money studies are showing a significant difference in ADN nursing versus BSN. “Research has shown that…
