The nurse should notify the health care provider about Client with a history of stroke who has dysphagia and is drooling.

<h3>Why is an oral contrast performed?</h3>
  • Oral contrast increases the visibility and helps in detailed analysis of the Gastrointestinal (GI) structures on CT scan.
  • Computed Tomography (CT) scan is a test that combines X-rays and computer scans.
  • Oral contrast helps to opacify the bowel and helps to get better images of the abdomen for diagnosis.
  • It makes specific organs to stand out (GI tract) thus for better detection of a disease or an injury.
  • Commonly used contrast agents in CT imaging are based on barium and iodine.
  • Therefore, the nurse should check first if a patient has iodine allergy.
  • Also the nurse should check if any patient has difficulty in swallowing the contrast or his own drool (Dysphagia) as it can be the symptom of a stroke.

How does Chinese music sound different from the music you listen<br> to?
Len [333]

Answer:

In general Asian music, but most particularly Chinese, has called the attention of westerners because of the sensed differences with the music that we are accostumed to listen to in the west. This is why, when we go into a restaurant that is Asian, and we hear the tunes being played, we become aware of how different they sound from what we are accustomed to.

There are several reasons for why this happens, but the most important of all is the difference in the scale system that Chinese music composers use, versus ours. While in the west we use a 7-note scale system, most Asian music, and most particularly Chinese music, use what is known as the pentatonic, or 5-note scale.

Also, Chinese music is usually played with solo instruments, or very small ensembles, not how it is done in the west, and the emphasis tends to be on certain types of wind instruments such as zheng, and also on cymbals and gongs, which give this type of music a very peculiar characteristic.

These are only a few of the reasons why Chinese music may sound so different to what western people are used to.
