Answer:

Carefully monitoring the nasogastric tube to ensure that the tube is patent and the suction is working.

Explanation:

Ensuring that the nasogastric tube is patent and that the suction is working properly are priorities for the postoperative client to prevent retention of gastric secretions that may lead to abdominal distention, nausea, vomiting, and further serious complications. Advancing the tube to the original insertion depth if the tube becomes dislodged is not recommended. Improper reinsertion may result in the aspiration of gastric contents. Vigorous irrigation of the nasogastric tube, even if clogged, is not recommended because this can cause damage to the gastric mucosa. Finally, the presence of bright red gastric aspirant in the suction canister for the first 24 hours after surgery is a normal finding in the postoperative period.

50 POINTS PLEASE HELP ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ
Stels [109]

Answer:

You probably want to save as much money as you can, as $30,000 is not much for a growing family of four, so you'll probably choose the HMO. Even if your employer pays for you, the costs of PPO's tend to be higher, so the portion you will pay for the family will also be higher.

One caution: if you want to see a doctor that you like, be sure to check with that doctor's office to find out which health care network(s) they belong to. The HMO is set up to work with your primary care physician. Your kids are young, and will probably be going to the doctor a lot more than you can imagine-- ear aches, required immunization shots, coughs, colds, whatever they pass around from one kid to another.

Big benefit of HMO-- besides saving money:  your primary care physician will get to know you and your family, and will understand your feelings and needs in your family.

Here's one more quote from the first source listed below:  The Breakdown

HMOs and Fee-for-Service Plans are on opposite sides of your health insurance spectrum, while POS and PPO plans fall somewhere in between them. HMO’s offer the least freedom, followed in order by the POS, the PPO and Fee-for-Service plans. Cost-wise, an HMO is usually the least expensive option, followed by POS plans, PPO plans and finally Fee-for-Service Plans.

lianna [129]

Answer:

Maintaining a healthy body weight is not too hard and neither it is too easy.

It is very important to maintain a healthy diet that consists of balanced proportions of vegetable, fruits and protein.

In addition, it is essential to exercise every single day for a set amount of time to stay active and healthy.  otherwise the body will get used to no work and the food will add to gaining weight instead of balancing it with exercise.
