Antenatal screening

Case A Joy and Aiden have met with their GP as part of routine antenatal screening. Initial tests returned the results below. Please comment on their significance. Test Joy Aiden Patient history 23 y.o. female pregnant (6 WG) Caribbean ethnic group 25 y.o. male West African ethnic group RBC 4 x 10^12/L 5.7×10^12/L Hb 112 g/L 170 g/L MCV 93 fL 88 fL MCH 28 pg 30 pg MCHC 302 g/L 340 g/L HbS Solubility Negative Positive The family is referred to a genetic consultant.

Upon meeting with the consultant, Aiden is asked about any genetic diseases running on his side of the family. Aiden shares he does not have genetic conditions but both his parents are carriers for Sickle Cell anemia and have one sister who has the condition. The consultant also is interested in Joy’s family history. She shares that her parent is deceased and did not suffer from any apparent condition. Her brother and sister are healthy. However, her brother is the carrier of sickle cell anemia, and has a daughter suffering from the condition. • What are common signs and symptoms of Sickle Cell Anaemia?

 Demonstrating understanding of the concept of homeostasis

 Demonstrating understanding of the concept of homeostasis by experiment Homeostasis is a process by which the body maintains a stable internal environment within a narrow range of variation. Homeostasis (Greek for " staying the same") is a process by which the body maintains a stable internal environment. The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that helps the body maintain homeostasis. It is located in the brain just above the brainstem and is a group of neurons that forms the primary link between the nervous system and the endocrine system.

This small part of the brain is responsible for regulating many key body processes including internal body temperature, hunger, thirst, blood pressure, and daily (circadian) rhythms. A simple metaphor will be when the temperature of a room becomes too warm, the thermostat will switch on the air conditioning and cool the room. When the room temperature reaches a set desired temperature, the system turns off. Similarly, most body systems maintain homeostasis by using positive or negative feedback mechanisms. When the brain receives messages from the body about an internal change in one of its systems, it works to restore the system to its normal state. When a stimulus (environment change) is met by a response that reverses (negates) the trend of the stimulus, it is negative feedback. As a result, the internal environment is returned to normal. Negative feedback mechanisms are found in the regulation of blood pressure, heart rate, and internal temperature controls. Positive feedback is a mechanism that is rare in a healthy body.

Instead of restoring the body to a normal state, the positive feedback mechanism causes an even greater change. An example of positive feedback can be found in the release of oxytocin, a hormone that intensifies the contractions that take place during childbirth. As the baby’s head is ready to move out of the mother’s body, oxytocin increases and the levels of contractions increase thus pushing the baby out. In this instance, the body responds to an event with more "force" or in a stronger way. Exercise causes many factors of homeostasis to kick in to maintain internal equilibrium. How exercise affects some of these factors can be determined by measuring and observing certain conditions of the human body. Some of these conditions that can be measured are: ecordings

Homeostasis mechanisms of focus

Marathon Runner Problem – What is the overall story? Two homeostasis mechanisms of focus: 1. Plasma sodium level 2. Dehydration For each homeostasis mechanism you are focusing on, walk us through the overall story of what can happen due to extended exercise. You should include data from the Medical Tent Data you were given. Mechanism 1: Dehydration Describe the mechanism when it is working properly in your body: When the runner is dehydrated your blood becomes thicker and makes your heart work harder to pump the blood.

The epigenetics of offspring

Numerous recent scientific studies indicate that environmental influences experienced by young adults can impact their offspring through a process called epigenetics. Explain how exposure to smoking cigarettes or consuming marijuana that contains the psychoactive substance THC could potentially influence the epigenetics of offspring. (S. Murphy et al. Cannabinoid exposure and altered DNA methylation in rat and human sperm.

Companion cells are phloem cells that contain a nucleus and other cell organelles, and that control the cellular activity of sieve-tube elements O responsible for replacing dead xylem cells O a cell type in the phloem that lack nuclei, mitochondria, or vacuoles, and has large pores through the cells walls at either end responsible for increasing the diameter of woody stems by creating annual rings

Compare and contrast the nervous and endocrine systems

Compare and contrast the nervous and endocrine systems.  For comparison, include general purpose, the general mode of action, and physical connections.  In contrast, include the component of the body that produces or sends the signal, the type of chemical signal between cells, the physical area of influence of that signal, how the chemical signal is transported, the specificity of signal receipt, the speed of action, and duration of action.

Define self-care and the benefits of practicing self-care

Scenario

You were provided a scholarship to attend the National Holistic Nursing Conference. During this conference, you participated in a self-care workshop and learned skills to increase self-care.

 

When concluding the day’s activities, the presenters asked you to reflect on your self-care habits and to document that reflection in a one-to-two-page journal entry.

 

Instructions

Write a two to three-page journal entry that addresses the following:

  • Using your own words, define self-care and the benefits of practicing self-care as a student.
  • Describe at least one self-care skill you plan to start using in your daily health practices. Identify which self-care technique you would use and explain how you would begin using this technique. Do you anticipate any barriers to using this new skill?
  • Describe at least one self-care skill you find complicated to implement into your nursing practice and discuss why this approach would be challenging to implement.
  • Please provide detailed and thorough responses. Please also provide the source cited.

Oral anticoagulation therapy

Assignment Scenario

After graduating from nursing school and passing your boards, you accepted a position as an RN in the emergency center at Rasmussen General Hospital (RGH). In the weeks ahead, your emergency center plans to implement a new initiative where clients diagnosed with low-risk deep vein thrombosis (DVT) will be sent home on 3 months of oral anticoagulation therapy with rivaroxaban.

Historically, clients diagnosed with DVTs in the emergency center were admitted to the hospital’s observation unit. However, when surveyed about their experiences, many clients reported that this was costly, time-consuming, and inconvenient. Under RGH’s new program, emergency center nurses will be responsible for educating clients about their new medication and administering the first dose to the client before discharge.

 

As part of this new initiative, all emergency center nurses at RGH must be trained to properly educate these clients on all aspects of their new medication regimen. Because you have demonstrated a keen interest in pharmacology, your manager has asked you to develop educational tools that will be used to train the nurses at RGH.

 

It’s worth noting that the standard dosing for all low-risk DVTs is as follows:

 

  • 15 mg BID, 12 hours apart, for 21 days
  • After 21 days, use 20 mg once per day
  • After 90 days, the client will follow up in the thrombosis clinic to evaluate if they meet the criteria for discontinuing the medication
