Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION

MHA690: Week 1 Discussion Post 2 - Patient Confidentiality
1. PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY
WEEK 1: DISCUSSION POST 2
PRESENTED BY:
KELLY HAUCK
MHA690: HEALTH CARE CAPSTONE
PROFESSOR: HWANG-JI LU
SEPTEMBER 15TH, 2016
2. WHAT IS PRIVACY TRAINING?
• Physicians uphold professional standards during their active practice years by building relationships with their
patients, while also remaining in compliance with delivery of electronic personal health information (PHI)
remaining in the confines of appropriate offices under secure locations for document safe keeping.
• In order to remain compliant with the HIPAA laws, all active employees will be required to complete annual
training segments via module delivery to demonstrate an understanding of abiding by the rules of protecting a
patient’s right to privacy at all times.
• Specific training items that potentially can be addressed for all employees to be able to abide by, might
include:
Information system security awareness training
Privacy awareness training
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) training & handling instructions
And encrypting/confidential information training
3. PROTECTING PATIENT PRIVACY
• Creates trust between physician and patient
• The HIPAA law has been created in order to protect patient health information
• The Privacy Rule gives an individual rights with respect to a person’s health information
• Also sets limits on how information can be shared by and with others
• The Security Rule designates rules for how health information will remain kept secure with
administrative, technical, and physical safeguards
4. WHY THE NEED FOR ANNUAL TRAINING?
• Training programs can be implemented into an employee’s portal, where access can be retrieved,
through sending an e-mail link.
• Upon receipt of the e-mail, employees can complete their training by clicking through the modules.
• Engagement results from employees working through the training requirements at their own pace,
while also encompassing the necessary information needed to demonstrate how this training will
implemented across all departments.
• A Q&A session can be incorporated into the modules, where a question can be posed, and employees
can type their answers to test their knowledge throughout the modules’ navigation.
• Lastly, through the use of eLearning and self-based progression, a ten question of multiple choice
and/or true and false questions will be provided at the end of the module for knowledge retained.
5. CONFIDENTIALITY TRAINING
• Health care organizations strive to keep information confidential (at all times).
• With use of completing training by regarding the need to recognize the importance of confidentiality,
employee information and “well known individuals”, such as highly recognized celebrities, can not have
information accessed without prior permission.
• Managers can send employees surveys to complete, via e-mail (such as surveymonkey.com), where
employees can take the time to complete these surveys at their leisure, with incentives of e-mail
recognition for employees who complete within a quick and timely response.
• “Periodic confidentiality training reinforces the importance of handling sensitive information and data
and will serve to ensure a human resource department’s credibility and operational integrity.” (SHRM,
2012).
