This document outlines Ammon Christensen's Eagle Scout project to build a new storage shed for the Cache Child & Family Support Center (CFSC). The CFSC helps thousands of families each year but has outgrown its building. Ammon chose to build the shed because it was the biggest need on the CFSC's list and he enjoys building. He came up with the name "Planes for Prevention" to incorporate his interest in airplanes and raise awareness for child abuse prevention. The first stage of the project involves fundraising, and Ammon hopes to do a demonstration at a football game to garner further support. He provides links to follow the project's progress online and encourages donations.

Seminar valve reconstruction and replacementUma Binoy
Valve reconstruction is a surgical technique used to repair defects in heart valves. It provides an alternative to valve replacement. In the US, about 99,000 heart valve operations are performed each year, most commonly to repair or replace the mitral or aortic valves which are on the left side of the heart. Valve repair techniques include commissurotomy to open narrowed valves, annuloplasty to provide support with a ring, and reshaping, patching or shortening valve leaflets. Conditions requiring surgery include severe valve damage or complications from issues like infection.
The document discusses three learning theories: behaviourist theory which focuses on observable behaviors and conditioning, constructivist theory which emphasizes that learning is constructed from experiences, and situated learning theory which states that learning occurs through social contexts and authentic activities; it provides characteristics and implications for each theory including how they inform classroom learning environments.
This document discusses interventions for stomach disorders including gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and gastric cancer. It begins with an introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the stomach. Gastritis is then defined and the types, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostic evaluation, and management are outlined. Peptic ulcer disease is similarly defined and the classifications, risk factors, etiological factors, pathogenesis, signs and symptoms, complications, diagnosis, and medical and non-medical management are described.
This document provides an overview of Lydia Hall's nursing theory. Hall's theory proposes that nursing care can be delivered on three interlocking levels: care, core, and cure. Care involves hands-on bodily care. Core focuses on using self in relationship to the patient. Cure applies medical knowledge to treat disease. Hall defines nursing as care performed by trained professionals to maintain health and quality of life from birth to death. The theory emphasizes how the three levels interact and change depending on patient needs. It relates to nursing paradigms like individual, health, and environment. The document also outlines Hall's background, limitations of the theory, and examples of its applications.
This document summarizes a seminar on managing several blood disorders including sickle cell anemia, polycythemia, thrombocytopenia, and hemophilia. It provides details on the causes, symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment approaches for each condition. Nursing care focuses on managing pain, preventing and treating infections, promoting coping skills, minimizing knowledge deficits, and monitoring for potential complications in patients with blood disorders.
Seminar congenital cardiac disorders (pda,TA and AP Window)Uma Binoy
Patent ductus arteriosus is a congenital heart disorder where the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel connecting the pulmonary artery and aorta, fails to close after birth as it normally would. This allows blood to shunt from the aorta to the pulmonary artery, potentially causing heart failure. It can be diagnosed via echocardiogram, electrocardiogram, or chest x-ray and may be treated with medications like indomethacin or surgery.
Seminar on buergers disease and raynauds diseaseUma Binoy
Raynaud's disease and thromboangitis obliterans (Buerger's disease) are caused by reduced blood flow to the extremities. Raynaud's disease involves intermittent vasoconstriction of arteries in fingers and toes in response to cold or stress, causing discoloration and pain. Buerger's disease causes inflammation and blood clots in lower extremity arteries and veins, which can lead to gangrene if untreated. Both diseases require lifestyle modifications like avoiding cold and tobacco to prevent attacks and progression. Treatment involves medications to improve circulation, surgery to relieve symptoms, and amputation in severe cases of Buerger's disease.
Seminar on head injury and spinal cord injuryUma Binoy
This seminar discusses head injury and spinal cord injury. It defines head injury as any trauma that leads to injury of the scalp, skull, or brain, ranging from minor to serious. Spinal cord injury damages the spinal cord or nerves and causes permanent changes below the site of injury. Causes of head and spinal injuries are discussed as well as symptoms, assessments, treatments including medications and surgery, nursing care, and prevention strategies.
Beta blockers and calcium channel blockersUma Binoy
Beta blockers and calcium channel blockers are widely used to treat cardiovascular disease. The first beta blocker, dichloroisoproterenol, was synthesized in 1958. Sir James Black discovered the first clinically significant beta blockers, propranolol and pronethalol, in 1962. Calcium channel blockers were first identified in 1964 and block the movement of calcium through calcium channels. Common types include dihydropyridines, phenylalkylamines, and benzothiazepines.
