Nervous and endocrine system
The nervous system consists of nerve cells that form the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system (sensory and motor neurons connecting the CNS to the body). The endocrine system is the body's "slow" chemical communication system using hormones from glands like the pituitary to regulate other glands, heart rate, blood pressure and more. Key glands include the pituitary, which is called the "master gland" that regulates other glands and water/salt balance.
Chapter 3 section 5 notes
The document discusses the Columbian Exchange that started when Columbus brought European goods to America and American goods back to Europe, including plants, animals, technology, and diseases. This led to a commercial revolution in Europe with the growth of capitalism, new business methods like bookkeeping and banks, and joint stock companies. Nations practiced mercantilism where colonies existed to benefit the parent country through controlled trade. While some groups like merchants and middle class families prospered, inflation hurt wages and created poverty, and the wealth of nobles declined if tied to land.
The brain
The brainstem is the oldest and innermost region of the brain and controls vital functions like breathing and heart rate. It connects to the body's opposite side so the right brain controls the left side of the body and vice versa. The thalamus receives sensory information except smell and the cerebellum helps with movement coordination, time perception, and controlling emotions. The limbic system includes the amygdala for processing emotions like fear and aggression and the hypothalamus influences behaviors like hunger and sexual behavior. The cerebral cortex is the ultimate control center and enables thinking, speaking, and perception. It has four main lobes - the frontal for movement and cognition, parietal for touch/body awareness, occipital for vision
Chapter 6 section 3 notes
The National Convention abolished the French monarchy, declaring France a republic. They seized lands from nobles and abolished titles of nobility, granting suffrage to all male citizens. King Louis XVI was tried for treason, sentenced to death, and beheaded in 1793. Marie Antoinette was also beheaded. The Committee of Public Safety, led by Maximilien Robespierre, was created to deal with threats to the revolution and oversaw the Reign of Terror from 1793-1794, where thousands were executed by guillotine through hasty trials and false accusations. Dissatisfaction with the terror led to a new constitution in 1795 establishing the Directory.
Homophobia burleson3
Nursing has traditionally been a female-dominated profession, which can present challenges for male nurses in terms of fitting into the established culture. However, as more men enter the nursing field, the culture is gradually becoming more inclusive and diverse. Overall, while some gender-related issues may still exist, most male nurses find nursing to be a rewarding career that allows them to help and care for patients.
Tornado casestudythree
This document discusses a tornado case study from April 27, 2011 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where the Tuscaloosa Emergency Management Agency Operations Center was destroyed. It poses three critical thinking questions: 1) What promises do nurses make to patients by presenting themselves as caregivers? 2) What actions should be taken to rescue children whose parents cannot be identified in disaster situations and why? 3) Does HIPPA apply in disaster situations or not and why?

Pandemic influenzacasestudytwo
During a pandemic flu, hospitals may face shortages of ventilators needed to help patients breathe. Justice considerations should guide who receives scarce ventilator therapy. Principles beyond justice, like maximizing benefits and saving the most lives, may also be relevant. Protocols for allocating limited resources raise difficult questions and reasonable people can disagree on what is fairest approach.
Hurricane katrinacasestudyone
The document discusses a case study about nurses during Hurricane Katrina who were caring for frail patients unable to evacuate. It poses critical thinking questions about whether the nurses should be judged negatively if they intended the best for patients but administered lethal overdoses, and how a state board of nurses would rule in this case. It also asks what reasons one would give for not killing a patient, and if they have ever thought a patient may be better off dead.

Homophobiapate
Homophobia impacts nursing care by causing lesbian and gay patients to fear being open about their sexuality due to potential physical harm, breaches in confidentiality, and hostile treatment from healthcare providers. This can negatively affect the care they receive from nurses. Gays and lesbians have particular health needs like higher rates of alcohol abuse, suicide, and HIV that nurses need to be aware of. Nurses must provide care to all patients without discrimination and ensure they do not marginalize patients. Education is key to reducing anxiety in nurses caring for homosexual patients and improving willingness to provide care.
Homophobiainmilitary1
Homophobia in the military can negatively impact health in several ways. Policies that force LGBTQ service members to hide their identities or prevent open service can increase stress and the spread of diseases. Discrimination and stigma also contribute to higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder among LGBTQ veterans.

Homophobia and discrimination can negatively impact the mental health of LGBT individuals and increase their risk of suicide. A study found that heterosexual university students held more negative attitudes towards the suicide of gay and lesbian peers compared to heterosexual peers. As a nurse, I would provide compassionate care to all patients and be sensitive to how discrimination may contribute to their mental health issues or suicidal thoughts.
Homophobia contradictioncareintro
This document discusses a presentation given by six students on homophobia and the contradiction it poses for patient care. Each student identified a different challenge related to homophobia: how it affects male nurses and nursing culture, its effect on military personnel under Don't Ask Don't Tell, how it impacts sports athletes, the problems it poses when a same-sex partner cannot visit or make decisions for a patient, how it influences the nursing care provided to patients, and whether homophobia can cause suicide.

Homophobia contradictioncareintro
This document outlines a presentation exploring how homophobia causes contradictions in patient care. Each group member identified a different challenge: how homophobia affects male nurses and nursing culture; how "Don't Ask Don't Tell" affected military personnel; how it impacts sports athletes; how it affects care when a partner cannot visit or make decisions; how it influences the nursing care provided to patients; and if homophobia can cause suicide. The presentation examines what homophobia is and how it contradicts providing care to patients.
Homophobia burleson2
Nursing has traditionally been a female-dominated profession, which can present challenges for male nurses in terms of fitting into the established culture. However, as more men enter the nursing field, the culture is gradually becoming more inclusive and diverse. Overall, while some differences may exist, providing quality care for patients should be the top priority for all nurses regardless of their gender.
Homophobia contradictioncareintro
This document summarizes a presentation exploring how homophobia affects patient care. The presentation includes case studies from six group members on challenges nurses face in caring for homosexual patients, including how homophobia impacts male nurses, military personnel under "Don't Ask Don't Tell", athletes, visitation rights for partners, nursing care provided to patients, and links between homophobia and suicide.
Head to toe_assessment1
This document provides guidance on performing a head-to-toe health assessment. It recommends beginning with a general survey of the client to observe gait, posture, eye contact and other details. The assessment should then obtain a history, check vital signs and vision, and prepare the client for examination. A focused assessment accommodating the client's needs should examine each body system in an organized, systematic manner. Practicing assessments is emphasized to learn consistency and inclusiveness when examining clients.
