1. "I can't believe this is happening right after my stomach surgery."

Explanation:

When blood flow is blocked due to formation of clots or other factors, the brain does not receive enough blood due to which there is obstruction in the flow of energy. This causes Ischemic Stroke in patients and must be treated immediately.

Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) dissolves blood clots and restores perfusion in clients with ischemic stroke.

It must be administered within a 3-4.5 hour window from appearance of symptoms for effective healing.

The nurse assesses for contraindications to tPA due to the risk of hemorrhage.

No history of intracranial hemorrhage or active bleeding should be present in the case of this patient.

Why would a third-degree burn be less painful than a first- or second-degree burn involving the same body area?
Irina18 [472]
A third-degree burn would be less painful than a first- or second-degree burn involving the same body area because of the destruction of underlying pain receptors.
Nerve endings are destroyed in third-degree burns, which means that a person can no longer feel pain in that particular spot on the body. Third-degree burns are the most severe ones and cannot be treated easily - usually skin grafting or synthetic skin has to be used to replace the burnt skin.
