When the skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, the skin produces a molecule that is turned into Vitamin D.

Sun is the source of ultraviolet rays important for Vitamin D production. Due to this reason, in the case of Vitamin D deficiency, it is recommended by doctor's to absorb sunlight by skin. The Vitamin D production occurs specifically by UV B rays rays which lie in the range of 290-315 nanometer.

The chemical 7-dehydrocholesterol absorbs these rays and convert to previtamin D3. Further, previtamin D3 isomerizes to Vitamin D. Other than sunlight, Vitamin D can be taken through diet. The sources include seafood like fish, fish oil, dairy products, beef liver etc. Vitamin D is required for bone and teeth formation, muscle contraction, immune system etc.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1300: Client temperature elevated. Telephoned health care provider's service 3 times without a response. Tepid sponge bath given and nursing supervisor notified.

Explanation:

A healthy adult is expected to have an average body temperature around 37 ° C. Values above 38ºC in healthy people represent hyperthermia, which is the loss of the ability to control body temperature, resulting in a marked increase in a patient's body temperature. This increase, considered severe when the body temperature exceeds 40ºC, deregulates the whole organism and affects body systems, which can have serious consequences. When an inpatient has a very high body temperature, nurses must notify the doctor promptly so that the necessary procedures are applied.

If the nurse contacts a physician for a case of a patient with a high body temperature, and the physician does not respond to contact, the nurse should follow the appropriate protocol and document the case as:

1300: Client temperature elevated. Telephoned health care provider's service 3 times without a response. Tepid sponge bath given and nursing supervisor notified.

andre [41]
Things in motion tend to stay in motion, things at rest tend to stay at rest. Your brain never slowed down to the point where it would get tired to sleep. If you were laying in bed trying to sleep all night but couldn't that could be a medical disorder but if you were doing things you're fine
