This document discusses the importance of fluid balance and intake for patients. It notes that water is essential to life and is the basis for important body fluids. Fluid balance occurs when intake equals losses through urine, sweat, breathing etc. Dehydration can result from inadequate intake while edema can occur if the body retains too much fluid. As a nurse assistant, it is important to encourage adequate fluid intake and record amounts properly using milliliters. Other ways of receiving fluids like IVs or feeding tubes are also discussed.
Constipation
Constipation is a common problem in children that causes infrequent or difficult bowel movements. It is usually temporary and caused by factors like diet changes, lack of physical activity, or medication side effects. Symptoms include painful bowel movements and stool that is hard or large. Treatment focuses on increasing fiber intake, fluid consumption, and using stool softeners under a doctor's guidance. Maintaining a regular toilet routine and physical activity can help prevent constipation.

Nutrition is essential for health and varies throughout life stages. Nutrient needs change based on factors like gender, age, health conditions, medications, and life events like pregnancy or injury. A nasogastric tube can be inserted through the nose to deliver nutrients or remove stomach contents when someone cannot eat normally. It involves measuring and lubricating the tube before gently inserting it into the stomach. Its placement must be confirmed and the tube securely taped before use to aid healing or prevent complications. Monitoring nutritional status is important for recovery from illness.

Addressing sexual needs_in_residential_care[1]
Sexuality and intimacy are important aspects of quality of life for older adults and nursing home residents. While physiological changes may occur, residents are still capable of enjoying sexual activity and intimacy. Staff should receive training to address residents' sexual needs and preferences respectfully. Issues like inappropriate public behavior or non-consensual activity require intervention, but the focus should be on supporting residents' dignity and rights to intimacy within appropriate boundaries.
Addressing sexual needs_in_residential_care[1]
Sexuality and intimacy are important aspects of quality of life for older adults and residents of care facilities. While physiological changes may occur, residents are still capable of enjoying sexual activity. Staff should receive training to address residents' sexual needs and preferences respectfully. Policies should protect residents' right to intimacy while preventing inappropriate or non-consensual behavior. When issues do arise, staff should seek to understand triggers and respond by redirecting to private areas or setting limits, without shaming residents.

Mobility aifl march 11
Mobility is important to prevent complications from immobility and promote independence. Supporting ambulation involves walking with clients and providing assistance as needed based on their condition. Various walking aids like sticks and frames can help increase stability, and clients need supervision until confident walking independently with their aid. Common musculoskeletal disorders like arthritis and osteoporosis can affect mobility and cause pain, so treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, encouraging exercise and mobility aids, and preventing further issues like falls.
Hand hygiene
Hand hygiene is the most important technique for preventing the spread of infection both personally and professionally. Proper handwashing involves vigorously rubbing all surfaces of the hands with soap and water to remove transient and resident bacteria. Transient bacteria are picked up through daily activities while resident bacteria reside on the skin. Hands should be washed before and after client contact, when visibly soiled, and whenever in doubt to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
