The nurse should wear a particulate respirator (N95) when providing care to a client with a diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB).

Tuberculosis is an air-borne disease that spreads by inhaling infected droplets. It is caused by a bacteria known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The primary organs that are affected by TB are the lungs. TB infections can also affect other organs/systems like meninges, lymph nodes, genito-urinary tract, peritoneum, pericardium, etc. The signs or symptoms of tuberculosis include chronic cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss.

The treatment for tuberculosis includes the prescribed medications along with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Medical professionals should ensure the medication is taken regularly.

Proper precautions should be taken while caring for a client with tuberculosis. The nurse should first wash hands, put on a gown, and wear an N-95 respirator or mask, face shield, and gloves. The patient should be asked to cover his mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing. The patient should not be allowed to move out of the isolation room unless mandatory.

N-95 mask is recommended because it can be worn more than once unlike a surgical mask which is disposed of after being used once.

Like all medications, birth control pills can have side effects. But most usually go away after 2 or 3 months. Many people use the pill with no problems at all. You can keep track of any side effects with our app.

The most common side effects are spotting or bleeding between periods (this is more common with progestin-only pills), sore breasts, nausea, or headaches. But these usually go away after 2 or 3 months, and they don’t happen to everyone who takes the pill.

Birth control shouldn’t make you feel sick or uncomfortable. Luckily, there are many different types of birth control, so you’ve got options. If you keep having side effects that bother you after using the pill for 3 months, talk with your nurse or doctor about trying another brand of pill or another birth control method. But don’t stop taking the pill without starting a new method, or you won’t be protected from pregnancy.

There can be some rare but serious risks.

Serious problems from taking the birth control pill are very rare. People using birth control that has estrogen, like combination pills, have a slightly higher chance of having a few rare but dangerous problems than people who don’t use birth control with hormones. Read more about birth control pill safety.

For more information about side effects and risks, talk with your nurse or doctor or read the package insert that came with your pills.

Alex

Answer:

Lack of physical activity has clearly been shown to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and other conditions:

Less active and less fit people have a greater risk of developing high blood pressure.

Physical activity can reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes.

Studies show that physically active people are less likely to develop coronary heart disease than those who are inactive. This is even after researchers accounted for smoking, alcohol use, and diet.

Lack of physical activity can add to feelings of anxiety and depression.

Physical inactivity may increase the risk of certain cancers.

Physically active overweight or obese people significantly reduced their risk for disease with regular physical activity.

Older adults who are physically active can reduce their risk for falls and improve their ability to do daily activities.
