The nurse should assess the client's ability to stand or sit.

Lung cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the lungs. Your lungs are two spongy organs in your chest that take in oxygen when you inhale and release carbon dioxide when you exhale.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide.

People who smoke have the greatest risk of lung cancer, though lung cancer can also occur in people who have never smoked. The risk of lung cancer increases with the length of time and number of cigarettes you've smoked. If you quit smoking, even after smoking for many years, you can significantly reduce your chances of developing lung cancer

Part 1 Questions 1. What are the main symptoms of influenza? 2. Would you expect a flu shot to protect against the ""stomach flu
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Influenza and stomach flu are caused by different viruses and cannot be prevented by similar vaccines. Moreover, infleunza infection or flu vaccine does not have any direct effect on autism. URIs infections may occur by different infectious agents and shall be treated accordingly. the Question wise answers are explained below.

Explanation:

1. Influenza can cause mild to severe illness and is different from cold. People suffering from flu has fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny nose, headaches, muscle aches, and severe fatigue.

2. Flu shots are strongly recommended to protect against influenza but does not help with stomach flu also known as gastroenteritis. Stomach flu is an infection caused by rotaviruses and noroviruses, and is not caused by the Influenza virus. Hence, flu shot protecting the body from influenza virus is not effective in stomach flu or gastroenteritis.

3. Influenza virus attacks the respiratory system including nose, throat and lungs, whereas, gastroenteritis attacks the intestines. Hence both influenza and stomach flu may have similar as well as contrasting symptoms. Influenza causes coughing, congestion, fever, chills, headache and muscle aches. Gastroenteritis causes fever, chills, headache, body aches, vomiting and diarrhea. The risk of influenza and gastroenteritis can be reduced with washing hands often with disinfectant. Hygienic drinking water is also necessary to avoid stomach flu as it causes diarrhea and food poisoning. Flu shots are given annually for influenza virus protection and two oral vaccines of rotavirus are given to young infants for avoiding stomach flu or gastroenteritis.

4. Flu shots provides immunity against specific strains of flu virus including influenza A strain- H1N1 and H3N2, and influenza B strain.  The trivalent flu vaccines protect against both Influenza A strain, whereas, the Quadrivalent vaccine help against both the influenza A strains and also the influenza B strain. These flu shots are given through a needle, cell-based version, and in the form of a recombinant vaccine which does not contain the virus or eggs. The mild side effects produced after taking the influenza vaccine include low grade fever, aches, redness and swelling at the site of injection, soreness etc. which happens to occur in only 1-2% of people taking the vaccine.  

Serious allergic reactions may also occur in some people such as difficulty breathing, swelling of eyes or lips, high pulse, high fever and dizziness. Children may have runny nose, wheezing, fever, muscle ache, vomiting and headache as side effects to the flu vaccine.  

CDC suggests that influenza infection or influenza vaccines taken during pregnancy are not associated with risk of autism in fetus. The idea evolves from the fact that inflammatory cytokines may be produced from the injection of influenza virus in vaccine form. However, this proposition is not evident from clinical trials conducted on autistic children who are diagnosed and those who are at risk of autism.

5. The upper respiratory tract infection occurs in the sinuses, nasal passages, pharynx and larynx region. Hence, the upper airways is blocked and symptoms of inflammation in the tract, cold, congestion and difficulty in breathing occurs. URIs are either caused by viruses or by bacteria in some cases. The URIs are infectious and may spread from person to person through air and touching of objects exposed to virus. Coming in close contact with patient, poor hygiene and avoiding frequent hand wash, and low immunity in HIV etc. are some of the risk factors of URI.  

Antibiotics are not given in URIs unless a bacterial infection is the cause of airways blockage. Hence, URIs are generally treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, Antihistamines and cough medications. Steroids and decongestants are also given in patients who are suffering from severe airways blockage and congestion. In immune-compromised patients who are already suffering from other disease conditions, anti-bacterials and anti-viral antibiotics are given to treat the URIs.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

1. the primary mechanism to maintain homeostasis is negative feedback.

2. When exposed to hot conditions, sweating is one of the primary methods your body uses to control its temperature. 

3. Sweat, as it evaporates, helps cool the skin. Blood vessels feeding the skin also dilate, which allows warm blood to flow to the skin surface. This helps remove heat from the body core.

4. Bacteria can also disrupt homeostasis in your body, and can make you sick.

5. In response to infection, your immune system springs into action.

a nurse assesses arterial blood gas results for a patient in acute respiratory failure (arf). which results are consistent with
Verizon [17]

Pulse oximetry and ABGs are the two most important tests used to identify hypoxemia and hypercapnia.

<h3>Are ARDS and acute respiratory failure the same thing?</h3>

The term "acute respiratory distress syndrome" refers to the acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure brought on by significant widespread alveolar-capillary membrane destruction (ARDS). Clinically and radiographically, ARDS represents acute pulmonary inflammatory diseases.

To diagnose respiratory conditions including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and others, spirometry is employed. Spirometry may be used often to check on the effectiveness of a treatment for a chronic lung condition.

The inability to exercise as vigorously as you previously did, extreme tiredness, shortness of breath or the feeling that you aren't receiving enough oxygen, and sleepiness are among the symptoms.
