Patient and family education is the primary nursing intervention throughout the preoperative phase. Utilize every chance while the patient is being evaluated and getting ready for surgery to provide them information that will help them feel more comfortable and less anxious.

Describe anesthesia.

Anesthesia is a controlled, momentary loss of consciousness or emotion that is brought on for therapeutic purposes. A person who is anesthetized is one who is affected by anesthetic drugs.

Anesthesia has made it possible to do procedures that would otherwise be technically impossible or would leave a patient in excruciating or intolerable agony.

What is the body's last ditch effort in<br> fighting pathogens?
GarryVolchara [31]
Once infected cells have sensed an invading pathogen, they secrete molecules called cytokines and chemokines. Cytokines such as interferons are molecules that signal neighbouring cells and induce an antiviral state in them. These cells are then primed to resist an infection with the invading virus.

What are Kupffer cells and their actions?
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Kupffer cells, also known as stellate macrophages due to their particular structure while viewed under a microscope, were first identified by scientist Karl Wilhelm von Kupffer, after whom the cells were named, in 1876.

These cells, whose origin is in the yolk sack during fetal development, later on move to the liver where they will stay and further differentiate into their mature versions.

These cells are part of the liver cells, and are found particularly on the walls of the sinusoids, where they perform their two most important tasks. First, these cells are part of the immune system, as they are essentially macrophages. However, their role is pretty unique, as they are responsible not just for phagocytosis of invading bacteria, and other pathogens, and initiating immune responses, but also, this cell plays a role in decomposing red blood cells who are dying, and taking up the hemoglobin from them to further break that into reusable globin, and the heme group, from which iron is further extracted to be re-used and also to create bilirrubin, a part of bile.

Finally, these cells have been found to be connected to hepatic cirrhosis, as in their process of detoxifying ethanol, they produce toxins that force the liver cells to produce collagen, and thus to become fibrous.

what do you mean by head-to-toe assessment ?

A thorough technique called a head to toe evaluation determines the state of health of all significant body systems. It is a thorough physical examination that highlights a patient's requirements and issues. This assessment should be done by an RN, though occasionally a doctor or EMT might also perform it. Assessments from head to toe take place during primary care visits or yearly physicals.
