Answer:

2 Refer this client for further evaluation and treatment of suspected depression.  

Explanation:

Depression is a very common disease in our environment and it can be triggered by various factors like stress and sadness. The 86-year-old, shown in the above question, has just been killed by a spouse, which is a sad and stressful situation. The death of this gentleman's wife is not enough to say that he may be depressed, but this gentleman has difficulty sleeping, lack of courage to bathe and eat, and is having difficulty remembering to take his medicine. These symptoms may be related to the onset of a depressive condition, so it would be appropriate for a nursing staff to consult this client for further evaluation and treatment of suspected depression.

Anatomists and health care providers use terminology that can be bewildering to the uninitiated; however, the purpose of this language is not to confuse, but rather to increase precision and reduce medical errors. For example, is a scar “above the wrist” located on the forearm two or three inches away from the hand? Or is it at the base of the hand? Is it on the palm-side or back-side? By using precise anatomical terminology, we eliminate ambiguity. For example, you might say a scar “on the anterior antebrachium 3 inches proximal to the carpus”. Anatomical terms are derived from ancient Greek and Latin words. Because these languages are no longer used in everyday conversation, the meaning of their words do not change.

Anatomical terms are made up of roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition, whereas the prefix or suffix often describes the root. For example, in the disorder hypertension, the prefix “hyper-” means “high” or “over,” and the root word “tension” refers to pressure, so the word “hypertension” refers to abnormally high blood pressure.

Anatomical Position

To further increase precision, anatomists standardize the way in which they view the body. Just as maps are normally oriented with north at the top, the standard body “map,” or anatomical position, is that of the body standing upright, with the feet at shoulder width and parallel, toes forward. The upper limbs are held out to each side, and the palms of the hands face forward as illustrated in Figure 1.4.1. Using this standard position reduces confusion. It does not matter how the body being described is oriented, the terms are used as if it is in anatomical position. For example, a scar in the “anterior (front) carpal (wrist) region” would be present on the palm side of the wrist. The term “anterior” would be used even if the hand were palm down on a table.

kati45 [8]

Answer:

Abortion

Explanation:

An abortion is a procedure in which a pregnancy is terminated. It can be carried out by taking medication or a surgical procedure. They are safe medical procedures when carried out properly. Reduced access to abortions increases the likelihood of them being performed without medical supervision, and makes them much less safe.

They are very rarely carried out after 24 weeks
