A five-year-old presents to the emergency department with epiglottitis. what is the nurse's first priority?

A five-year-old presents to the emergency department with epiglottitis

the nurse's first priority should be control of anxiety,facilitation of learning, Medications, and Hydration.

<h3>Epiglottis</h3>

The throat's epiglottis, a leaf-shaped flap, serves to keep food and liquids out of the windpipe and the lungs. When breathing, it remains open, allowing air to enter the larynx. It closes during swallowing to stop food from being inhaled into the lungs, forcing any liquids or food to travel down the esophagus and toward the stomach.

<h3>Interventions in Nursing</h3>

For a child with epiglottitis, the nursing interventions are:

  • control of anxiety:- The family should demonstrate personal activities that will help the youngster get rid of or lessen emotions of anxiety and stress that are coming from an unknown source.
  • facilitation of learning:- In addition to encouraging progress in the patient's capacity and openness to accept information, the nurse should support their ability to process and comprehend information.
  • Medications:- As directed, give antibiotics such as cefuroxime.
  • Hydration:- Since the child couldn't swallow, adjust the IV fluid as necessary.

Which area of research for helping SCI patients sounds the most promising to you?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

sorry, alittle long but you need this

Explanation:

What are the symptoms?

The onset of ALS can be so subtle that the symptoms are overlooked but gradually these symptoms develop into more obvious weakness or atrophy.

Early symptoms include:

Muscle twitches in the arm, leg, shoulder, or tongue

Muscle cramps

Tight and stiff muscles (spasticity)

Muscle weakness affecting an arm, a leg, the neck, or diaphragm

Slurred and nasal speech

Difficulty chewing or swallowing

The first sign of ALS usually appears in the hand or arm and can show as difficulty with simple tasks such as buttoning a shirt, writing, or turning a key in a lock. In other cases, symptoms initially affect one leg. People experience awkwardness when walking or running, or they may trip or stumble more often. When symptoms begin in the arms or legs, it is referred to as “limb onset” ALS, and when individuals first notice speech or swallowing problems, it is termed “bulbar onset” ALS.

As the disease progresses, muscle weakness and atrophy spread to other parts of the body. Individuals may develop problems with moving, swallowing (called dysphagia), speaking or forming words (dysarthria), and breathing (dyspnea). Although the sequence of emerging symptoms and the rate of disease progression can vary from person to person, eventually individuals will not be able to stand or walk, get in or out of bed on their own, or use their hands and arms.

Individuals with ALS usually have difficulty swallowing and chewing food, which makes it hard to eat. They also burn calories at a faster rate than most people without ALS. Due to these factors, people with ALS tend to lose weight rapidly and can become malnourished.

Because people with ALS usually can perform higher mental processes such as reasoning, remembering, understanding, and problem solving, they are aware of their progressive loss of function and may become anxious and depressed. A small percentage of individuals may experience problems with language or decision-making, and there is growing evidence that some may even develop a form of dementia over time.

Individuals with ALS eventually lose the ability to breathe on their own and must depend on a ventilator. Affected individuals also face an increased risk of pneumonia during later stages of the disease. Besides muscle cramps that may cause discomfort, some individuals with ALS may develop painful neuropathy (nerve disease or damage).

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Etymology of

Soma

from Greek sōma ‘body’.

Cell's body, this part of the cell receives information, and it contains the cell's nucleus.

Etymology of dendrite

from French, from Greek dendritēs ‘treelike’, from dendron ‘tree’.

thin filaments carry information from other neurons to the soma, they act as input part of the cells

Etymology of Axon

 (denoting the body axis): from Greek axōn ‘axis’.

long projection carries information from the soma and sends it off to other cells. This is the “output” part of the cell.
