A patient has been brought to the hospital after suffering injuries from a fall at a construction site. He needs complete parenteral nourishment since he has nerve damage that has rendered his gag reflex ineffective. Which nerve should the nurse think the client's injury may have been caused by?

What is parenteral nourishment?

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a feeding technique that omits the digestive system. The majority of the body's nutritional requirements are met by a specific formula administered intravenously. When a person cannot or shouldn't receive feedings or fluids orally, the technique is utilized.

The spilling of the contents of hollow organs in the abdomen causes an intense inflammatory reaction called: A) pericarditis. B)
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. The spilling of the contents of hollow organs in the abdomen causes an intense inflammatory reaction called peritonitis.

Explanation:

Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum, the serous membrane that covers part of the abdominal cavity. Peritonitis can be localized or generalized in the peritoneum and can result from infection (often due to the rupture of a hollow organ, as can occur in abdominal trauma or appendicitis) or from a non-infectious process.

In the case of acute peritonitis patients usually manifest with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, hypotension, tachycardia and thirst. Peritonitis also has to do with the appendix, when it becomes inflamed it bursts, releasing bacteria throughout the body. Peritonitis can cause dehydration in the patient and cause multiple, or multisystemic, organic failure, which leads to death in most cases.

What has been your experience with the healthcare system? Describe your positive or negative experience.
Sveta_85 [38]
My personal experience has been okay! Sometimes that can change due to my different situations that involve having to communicate with the healthcare system/staff. The healthcare system tries their hardest but some don’t. Some doctors just guess your diagnosis just to get you out of the hospital, mainly to get paid. Some do wrong diagnosis due to them being tired or careless, with good research it can be proven. My negative experience was terrible. Technically, it wasn’t “MY” experience it was a family members but I was there as a witness. My aunt went in because she was sick and she had pain near her appendix. The doctor said nothing was wrong with her appendix and that she may just have a bug. Scans, test, everything was done turned out the doctor sent my aunt home with “flu” meds. Took my aunt throwing up all of her body weight to go back to another hospital because we all knew something was wrong. She went to another hospital and turns out her appendix burst and she nearly could’ve died. Therefore, the healthcare system is great and all but some doctors or healthcare workers can be very careless.

(THIS IS NOT A TRUE STORY NO SYMPATHY NEEDED HERE LOL)
