What nursing diagnosis is most likely to apply to a patient who has a dysfunction of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland?

Deficient Fluid Volume is the nursing diagnosis that is most likely to apply to a patient who has a dysfunction of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

The posterior pituitary produces ADH; disruptions in the levels of ADH upset the body's normal fluid balance. The hormones produced by the posterior pituitary do not directly affect immune function, tissue perfusion, or body temp.

Deficient fluid volume, or hypovolemia, results from a loss of body fluid or fluid shift, causing the fluid output to surpass fluid intake. In this process (acute or chronic), the body loses fluid volume and electrolytes. The source for this condition can be gastrointestinal, renal, or even metabolic.

Symptoms:

  • Expresses feeling thirsty
  • Verbalizes feelings of weakness
  • States feeling dizzy/lightheaded, especially when changing position
  • Complains about an inability to focus
  • Complains of headaches
  • Describes feeling of fast heartbeat

How does the growth of antibiotic resistance in bacteria support the theory of evolution by natural selection?
Nana76 [90]
Wow that's a good one :). Think about it like this. When you put antibiotics in place where bacterias live, probably most of them will die, however there might be "some" who are resistent to the antibiotic by their nature, (mutations etc.) so among the bacterias which were exposed the antibiotics those resistent ones will survive. And bacterias have a system for exchanging DNA to make each other more resistant, its called "conjugation" look it up. By conjugation they give each other genes which will help them survive. So if we summarize, those who are already resistant survive (which is a cause of natural selection in an environment of antibiotics) and help others resistant too.
