Answer:

Atrial flutter is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. It occurs when a short circuit in the heart causes the upper chambers (atria) to pump very rapidly. Atrial flutter is important not only because of its symptoms but because it can cause a stroke that may result in permanent disability or death.

DiKsa [7]

Radioimmunoassay is a test that the nurse expects the physician to order to check thyroid hormones.

The thyroid gland is an important hormone gland that regulates metabolism, growth, and development in the human body. It aids in the regulation of various physiological functions by continuously releasing a consistent amount of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream.

The thyroid gland generates hormones that control the metabolic rate of the body, as well as heart, muscle, and digestive function, brain growth, and bone maintenance.

The most frequent thyroid issues include aberrant thyroid hormone production. Hyperthyroidism is a condition caused by an excess of thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism is caused by insufficient hormone production.

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.
