Answer:
DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension)
Explanation:
Due to ever increasing cases of hypertension in United States, DASH or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension was created. It aims at lowering blood pressure with dietary changes and without the use of medication.
It recommends to increase the quantity of vegetables, fruits, nuts and whole grains in diet. These are good sources of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. It also recommends to reduce the salt or sodium, sugar and red meat content in diet. These ingredients are present in very high amounts in typical US diet and they are responsible for hypertension. By following DASH, systolic blood pressure can be reduced by eight to fourteen points over the course of time.
Answer: The option that is the most likely reason for taking off her wedding ring is C ( so that any bacteria or germs present on the ring do not contaminate the field).
Explanation:
The practice of scrubbing-up is performed by surgeons and other medical personnel before a surgical procedure. The main purpose of this procedure is to:
--> remove contaminating debris from the hands and forearms,
--> reduce the microbial count to a low levels as possible
--> leave an anti-microbial residue on the skin which prevents the growth of micro-organisms for several hours.
Gloves are worn after performing a scrub-up to provide more protection for the patient and safeguard the surgeon and team members who will contact the patient's blood and other body fluids
From the purpose of scrubbing-up mentioned above, one can conclude that the procedure is done to maintain a sterile environment during surgery. When jewellery such as a wedding ring is worn while performing a scrub, the tendency of not properly scrubbing the area under which is covered by the ring is high. This in turn can lead to increase in microbial counts with high chances of contaminating the field.
Therefore, ideally it is advisable not to wear wedding rings during a scrub-up even though a glove is worn after scrubbing.
The answer to this question is False
Answer:
2. Good (G)
Explanation:
The Lovett scale is a 6-point scale starting at 0 which "no evidence of contractility" and goes up to 5 which is normal, unimpaired ROM. It is used to measure musculoskeletal strength based contractility and ROM,
Find below the full scale with definitions:
Zero (0) : "No evidence of contractility". Trace (T) : "Evidence of slight contractility". Poor (P): "Complete range of motion with gravity eliminated".
Fair (F) : "Complete range of motion with gravity".
Good (G) : "Complete range of motion against gravity with some resistance".
Normal (N) : "Complete range of motion against gravity with full resistance"
