Answer:

The best answer to the question: Which statement accurately describes appropriate diagnostic interpretation of her findings, would be: This woman is coursing with acute pancreatitis.

Explanation:

Although there are no statement, there is no other way to interpret what has been found. Because of the elevated levels of lipase, an enzyme which is produced by the pancreas, and which, when found elevated in blood, indicates that something is going on with the pancreas, we can almost certainly say that she is presenting with acute pancreatitis. Other signs that point to this are the tenderness in both of the upper quadrants, the presence of vomiting and epigastric pain, and the absence of other symptoms that would at first might have pointed towards the liver. However, the signs and symptoms this woman is showing, and the lab results, point to only one possible diagnosis at this point, and which would be confirmed by the ultrasonography.

What do you mean by scald? how can we prevent it?​
oee [108]

Answer:

Scalds can be accidental or not, but many can be prevented. They’re often caused by minor accidents when you are in a hurry or under pressure. For example: You can scald yourself by spilling a hot beverage or soup on your skin.

Steam from the oven or microwave can also burn you if you are too close.

Tap water burns are more likely if your water heater is set above 120°F.

Scald burns are especially common in the restaurant industry. In a restaurant kitchen, water temperature has to be kept high to prevent bacterial overgrowth and to properly clean cookware.

We define health as a state of complete physical, social and mental wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

From this definition you can see that health has three dimensions – physical, mental and social – which are interrelated and influence each other greatly.

Physical health relates to the efficient functioning of the body and its systems, and includes physical capacity to perform tasks and physical fitness.

Mental health is a state of wellbeing in which an individual:

recognises their own abilitiescan cope with the normal stresses of lifecan work productively and fruitfullyis able to contribute to their community.

Social health involves being able to interact with others and participate in the community in both an independent and cooperative manner.

Some examples of how events can influence all dimensions of health:

Example 1: A 16 year old male is involved in a car accident and breaks his pelvis, rendering him unable to attend school, or play football with the local club he loves.

His physical health is affected by the damage done to his pelvic bones and a loss of fitness, which in turn has prevented him from maintaining social contact at school and football, decreasing his ability to interact with others and have good social health.  His isolation may also reduce his mental health as he may feel lonely and depressed.

Example 2: A 33 year old woman develops depression.

Depression causes feelings of hopelessness, stress and loss of interest in normal activities, negatively impacting her mental health.  This may decrease her desire to exercise or prepare healthy food, leading to weight gain and loss of fitness, reducing her physical health.  Her depression may mean that she isn’t interested in interacting with others and participating in her community, and her moodiness puts a strain on her relationship with her husband, reducing her social health.
