Diseases And Homeostasis

Diseases And Homeostasis

1. Explain the difference between homeostasis and disease? What is the difference between chronic disease and acute disease? Can all diseases be cured (explain and give example)? Amy’s blood glucose remains elevated and rarely returns to normal. Why is this departure from homeostasis an important observation?

2. Why is AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) considered a syndrome and not a disease? How is HIV transmitted and how can transmission be reduced or prevented? Why is HIV’s attack on helper T cells so devastating to the entire immune system? Clark’s doctor explains that even though Clark has HIV/AIDS, he will not die from AIDS. Explain.

3. What causes the signs and symptoms of inflammation? List and discuss the six agents capable of stimulating an inflammatory response. Elle takes anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics to ease the pain and discomfort of rheumatoid arthritis. She knows these drugs will not cure the disease, yet her doctor prescribed them. Explain why.

4. What are the five classes of immunoglobulins and their function? Why does the body make five different classes of immunoglobulins? Immunologically speaking, is it likely a patient will catch a cold caused by the same virus twice? Please explain your answer

Ted Brown and Jim Green vs Theodore Brown and James business Green case study

Ted Brown and Jim Green vs Theodore Brown and James business Green case study

Ted Brown and Jim Green have been discussing going into business together for several months, and they are anxious to start that business before the end of this month. However, both Ted Brown and Jim Green each have to be out of town for several weeks on other business, so Ted Brown has told his son, Theodore, who is 16, about the discussions with Jim Green and has appointed Theodore to complete negotiation of the final details of the business. Jim Green has told his son James, who is 18 years old, about the discussions with Ted Brown and appointed James to complete the negotiations.

The business that Ted Brown and Jim Green want to create will develop an app for cell phones that will identify family-oriented attractions along major highways so families can download the app to help in planning family vacations. The development of the app will take 4 months, and then it will take approximately another 4 months to fully deploy the app. As the app becomes popular, the business will solicit family-oriented businesses to advertise on the app. Ted Brown and Jim Green have very little capital to use in the development and deployment of the app and will probably need to raise the capital necessary to develop and deploy a quality app.

In your case study, address the questions below.

Your case study should be at least four pages in length and include at least two outside sources. Be sure to use APA formatting for all citations and references

crime laboratories

scientific processes accomplished within the crime laboratory

Last week, you evaluated on-scene analysis and documentation. This week, the focus will shift to the scientific processes accomplished within the crime laboratory. In addition to the scientific processes, it is important to understand the standards applied to determine if the scientific process and its results can or should be admitted at trial. While science uses the peer review process to evaluate credibility, the courts also use case law to evaluate the standards for forensic science.

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review the following:

You must use at least three Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) in addition to the course text.

You are also strongly encouraged to review the recommended sources, which may further support this assignment.

In your paper, address the following:

“Fever of unknown origin”

“Fever of unknown origin”

“Fever of unknown origin” is a diagnosis known well to acute care providers. “Rash of unknown origin” is not an official diagnosis, but it is one that you will often encounter.

Imagine that during a shift a nurse calls you to the bedside to look at a “new rash” that a patient has developed over the past 4 hours.

Conduct research and locate a picture of a rash. Design a brief case study to describe the rash. Provide basic information that your classmates will need to problem-solve, diagnose, and treat the rash

family-focused functional assessment

Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.

  1. Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social class, spirituality, and environment.
  2. Summarize the overall health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health of the family.
  3. Based on your findings, describe at least two of the functional health pattern strengths noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers to health were identified.
  4. Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.

the intentions of nonemployed registered nurses

Erich

QD1. If I were to conduct a statewide study of work plans the intentions of nonemployed registered nurses I would favor open-ended questions. Open-ended questions allow people to provide a free-form answer without limitations. Whereas closed-ended questions can be answered within a limited set of possible answers ( Polit & Beck, 2017).

When asking about intentions and work plans it would be difficult to set a limited amount of answers to choose from. Although most answers I would assume would be similar in categories such as change of careers, mental health, looking for a better work environment, etc. There could be circumstances that might require further explanation. Also, there could be options not listed under the close-ended questions (Nieswiadomy & Bailey, 2018)

Open-ended questions can provide more details that could influence the research. These details can help qualify the responses. Although this type of question can tend to be more tedious for responders it would fit the scope of this research (Polit & Beck, 2017).

QD2. Quantitative research tends to be the framework most commonly used to analyze data of numeric patterns. Quantitative research uses either intrinsically or imposed data. This type of research allows the ability to find statistical analyses, show relationships, and also compare data. There are various methods used for quantitative research (Polit & Beck, 2017).

Through this research, a level of measurement refers to the relationship among values that can be given to the attributes of variables. There are four levels of measurement defined as nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. These levels are important as they decide how to analyze data. This can tell you what is appropriate for the values that were assigned. These four levels are cumulative (Rutberg & Bouikidis, 2018).

The level of measurement I would prefer to use for quantitative research would be ratio. The ratio scale is numeric in which the number, order, and also the differences between values. This scale has an absolute zero and allows for a range of different statistics. Ratio scales can be calculated without being limited to only addition and subtraction (Rutberg & Bouikidis, 2018).

QD3. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are prevalent illnesses in patients with indwelling catheters. Research findings indicate that urinary catheterization is one of the leading causes of hospital acquired UTIs because it tends to bypass the body’s protective mechanisms (Norris & Lalchandani, 2018). In such cases, bacteria form a biofilm on the catheter’s surface, thereby making treatment more challenging.

Older adults with decreased immunologic functions are particularly vulnerable to these infections. In my opinion, healthcare organizations should adopt multidimensional interventions to prevent UTIs in patients with indwelling catheters. In recent years, various interventions have been proposed to address UTIs.

The most popular strategies for curbing UTIs in patients with indwelling catheters revolve around good hygiene and early detection and treatment (Norris & Lalchandani, 2018). Another popular intervention involves daily assessments of the patient’s indwelling catheter in order to improve early detection and treatment of the condition (Yu et al., 2020). However, studies show that the best approach relies on the use of evidence-based clinical guidelines to improve catheter insertion, maintenance, and removal.

QD4. The patient’s symptoms elicit a classic case of pneumonia. However, other differential diagnoses include myocarditis, pleurisy, and pneumothorax. Therefore, the patient needs a comprehensive lung and thorax assessment to determine the most probable cause of the condition.

Patients with chest and breathing complications need auscultation as the basic chest exam. According to Proctor and Rickards (2020), auscultation entails listening to the audible sounds in the respiratory system during expiration and inspiration. The patient will need additional chest examinations, chest X-rays, and other blood investigations to confirm pneumonia as the accurate diagnosis.

I would enlighten the husband about his wife’s situation by explaining the pathophysiology of pneumonia and informing him that pneumonia is a collective term for syndromes that result in sequelae and inflammations. Norris (2018) defines pneumonia as the inflammation of the lung’s parenchymal structures. Pneumonia also has endogenous and external sources.
