The most reliable sign that the patient has significant postoperative pain is pain located in the abdomen, requiring up to two days of fasting.

<h3>What is the procedure for an intestinal resection?</h3>

The procedure is performed in the hospital under general anesthesia. During surgery, some parts of the intestine need to be mobilized. This means that the surgeon cuts the membranes that hold the intestines in place, so they can be moved and stretched. After that, he removes the diseased or damaged part of the organ.

Once part of the bowel is removed, the surgeon joins the two remaining ends of the bowel together using stitches or staplers. This procedure is called an anastomosis.

With this information we can conclude that Bowel resection is a surgery that removes part of the small intestine, large intestine or both. The large intestine includes the colon, rectum and anus.

According to Maslow's heirarchy of needs, explain what needs must be met in order for a person to reach self-actualization.
ziro4ka [17]
Maslow believes that a person must first satisfy lower needs before they'll be motivated to satisfy higher needs. The highest need in Maslow's hierarchy is the need for self-actualization. Before one can achieve this, one must satisfy all the lower needs first (physiological, safety, love/belongingness/self-esteem).

James suffers a heart attack. His heartbeat and breathing have stopped completely. How would you help him?
LenaWriter [7]
<span>In this situation the best way to help James would be to first establish whether there are any nearby medical professionals that can help. If there are not, I would call the number for the emergency services, and then whilst waiting for them would try to do what I could to help James. It is important to ensure his airways are clear, and if they are, to attempt to perform CPR.</span>
