My sister is currently in the hospital, she has fluid on the lungs and her white blood cells are high. She does have auto-immune

disease, however the doc stated that her secretions are up, and I'm trying to understand what that means. I believe they will be going in and draining some fluid out of her lungs.

Pnuemonia is a common respiratory infection caused by excess fluid in the lung sacs. The purpose of white blood cells are to fight off infections. When the white blood cell count in higher than normal, this means the persons body, in this case your sister, is fighting off an infection. Secretions are the body's way of clearing mucus out of the lungs. The two main ways to clear the mucus out of lungs are the mucocilary systems and basic coughing. Her body has a higher amount of secretions directly due to the respiratory infection. Draining fluid out of her lungs is the best option now if medications are not helping. The way to drain the fluid is by a nasal tube inserted through her nasal cavity typically done while one is put asleep by general anesthesia.

Answer:

Iron medications can cause irritation in the stomach and dosctors recommend to take them between meals. They are also associated with constipation and thus the client should increase fluids and fiber in the diet to counteract this side effect.

Do you agree with the behaviorist view that true personal freedom does not exist? Why or why not? Read More &gt;&gt;
tester [92]

Answer:

Yes, I agree with this concept of behaviorists.

Explanation:

According to behaviorist view, true personal freedom does not exist. Personal freedom includes a lot of things like freedom of opinions, freedom of coming and going, freedom of religion, the freedom of right to privacy, the freedom of choosing careers, freedom of choosing the lifestyle, freedom of choosing the life partner and anything that involves a person's own choice of making decisions in his or her life.

I totally agree with the view of behaviorists. They say that true personal freedom does not exist. In many societies, people don't have rights to choose what they want. They can't make decisions for their personal stuff. They can't even choose what they actually want to study, they can't move in or out according to their will, they can't speak their heart out, they can't choose their religion, etc. So it is indeed true that personal freedom does not exist.
