Following direct trauma to the left upper back, a 44-year-old male presents with diaphoresis and restlessness. His blood pressure is 100/50 mm Hg, his pulse rate is 120 beats/min and weak, and his respirations are 24 breaths/min and labored. Your assessment reveals abrasions and contusions over the left scapula. You should:
- apply high-flow oxygen, consider spinal precautions, and transport without delay.
The three types of health insurance structures that are classified as managed care are:
Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO)
Usually only pay for care within the network. You choose a primary care doctor who coordinates most of your care.
Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO)
Usually pay more if you get care within the network. They still pay part of the cost if you go outside the network.
Point of Service (POS)
Plans let you choose between an HMO or a PPO each time you need care.
Answer:
There are various reasons.
Explanation:
very cold temperatures - the water can be colder than expected, even in warm weather
hidden currents - there can be strong underwater currents, which can trouble even the most confident of swimmers
reservoirs are often very deep - it is difficult to estimate depth and they can be deeper than people expect
there may be hidden debris or underwater hazards which can cause injury, including weeds and plants which can entangle people under the water
if it’s polluted it could make you ill
it can be very difficult to get out (especially steep slimy banks)
there are no lifeguards on duty
the remoteness of some of these places can also hamper and delay rescue attempts
I hope that helped!
