People with poorly controlled diabetes are at risk of amputation due to damage of nerves in the extremities of the body. This damage to nerves is caused by chronically high blood sugar. The condition, when it is caused by uncontrolled blood sugar is called diabetic neuropathy.<span>Diabetic neuropathy mostly affects the feet and they lose feeling, such that an affected person cannot sense pain. When they develop an ulcer or small injury to the feet, it may often go unnoticed and with time become infected. High blood sugar impairs the normal healing process and the injury or ulcer may not heal quickly thus compounding the problem. The outcome of this is that the infected part e.g. a toe, may fester and even become gangrenous putting the whole bod at risk and thus the only away to save the rest of the body is removal by amputation.</span>
Answer:
Data is used to evaluate the treatment that is provided to the patient in each episode of nursing diagnosis.
Explanation:
An outcome measure is a tool that is used to assess the current status of the patient that is influenced by the nursing interventions. It is marked by the status of the resolution for individual nursing diagnosis as being either resolved or not.
The data collected by outcome measures supports in establishing the foundation for providing the correct medical treatment to the patient. Which later helps to assess the treatment provided to the patient. It provides reliable and credible justification for the treatment on an individual patient level.
Below are a few examples of these outcome measures;
- Mortality
- Timeliness of care
- Safety of care
- Patient Experience
- Effectiveness of care
Algae live in bodies of water and damp places and are commonly found in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Terrestrial algae mostly live in moist, tropical areas. They prefer wet places, because they do not have vascular tissues and the other necessary adaptations to survive on land.
Hi,
If a point mutation occurs during which CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.
This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.
We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism
Hope it helps!:)
