Answer:

A swollen finger is a sign of fluid buildup or inflammation of the tissues or joints of the finger. Finger swelling can result from serious infections, inflammation, trauma, and other abnormal processes.

Because a swollen finger can be a sign of a serious infection or inflammation, you should talk with your medical professional about your symptoms. If you experience finger swelling with pain, redness, or warmth, seek prompt medical care.

Treatment :

Apply ice for 15 minutes each hour to bring down the swelling. If you don’t have ice, you can soak the finger in cold water instead.

Keep your finger elevated above chest level.

Take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) to ease any discomfort.

Hope this helps :)

The intervention the nurse should include to prevent infection at the injection site is to change the needle every three days.

An insulin pump is a device that delivers continuous and customized doses of rapid-acting insulin matching the body's needs. It's mainly used for people that are suffering from diabetes, specifically those that don't like injections.

When using an insulin pump, there are several things that must be taken care of to make sure everything goes well for the client. One of them is changing the pump needle every three days to prevent infections at the injection site. When changing the needle, make sure the client uses sterile technique.

Describe how the care technique of adequate posture for bed ridden clients can impact parts of the respiratory system. Use corre
romanna [79]

Answer:

Patients who suffer from respiratory pathologies, generally present an increase in fluid in the alveoli, where they produce the gas exchange, that is why if we put the patient to bed completely, the gas exchange surface will be less, because the liquid that presents by the pulmonary emphysema is dispersed in more alveoli and therefore the difficulty of breathing is greater.

The ideal position then in this type of patient, where the problem is in the respiratory system, in the position of approximately 130 degrees, or an intermediate position between 180 and 90 degrees, since in this way the upper limb will not be at the same Height than the lower limb, the emphysema fluid does not disperse through the alveoli on a larger surface, but on a smaller surface, and thus the patient will be able to breathe better, and improve their gas exchange capacity.

Explanation:

The greater the occupied alveolar surface, the less capacity for gas exchange and therefore greater difficulty in breathing ... This would happen in patients who are fully reclined, that is, at 180 degrees.

If we position it well, between 90 and 180, approximately 130 degrees, less alveolar surface occupied by the fluid of the emphysema, greater gas exchange and therefore better breathing.
