What I would say is that an x-ray has an insignificant amount of radiation compared to some other things which were exposed on a daily basis and therefore the patient doesn't have to worry about it.

An 11-year-old male has been skateboarding in 100 degree temperatures and has been drinking caffeinated soft drinks. He complain
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Transport the patient by ambulance, monitor closely and administer fluids en route.

Explanation:

The rate of a normal resting heartbeat is 60 to 100 per minute. The atria (the two smaller chambers of the heart) contract simultaneously and so does the ventricles (the two largest chambers). This mechanism causes the “double beat” characteristic of the heart: tummy, tummy… Exercise, emotional stress and even stimulating drugs can increase the heart rate to 200 or more beats and cause the heart to beat too fast. When this happens we call it tachycardia.

In the case of the man shown in the question, tachycardia occurs because of the ingestion of caffeinated soda. Although tachycardia is normal for those who use this type of substance, if the heart beats too fast it can lead to congestive heart failure and even myocardial infarction. For this reason, the ideal thing to do for this man is to transport him in an ambulance, closely monitor him and administer fluids on the way, as fluids can adjust the heart rate.

Blood pressure is considered high of it stays at
kenny6666 [7]
That really depends on your doctor. Some people are high at 140  and others at 130 for the systolic. If you are young, I think 130 is pretty high. If you are older maybe 140 if the point where you should be paying attention. 

For the diastolic 80 is good. 85 is take a note book when you go see a doctor and 90 it's time to be a worry wart.

These are just numbers. Throughout the day, the numbers can vary quite a bit so one bad reading does not make you a candidate for high blood pressure.

If you learn to relax before it is taken, it makes a 10 - 15 point difference on the systolic and don't let people bully you about it.
