Nursing crib.com nursing care plan renal failure
The nursing care plan addresses a patient experiencing renal failure who presents with edema, fatigue, and weakness, and notes an assessment of fluid overload and compromised renal function. The plan includes monitoring intake and output, daily weighing, skin assessments for edema, oral fluid replacement within restrictions, and administering diuretics and antihypertensives as needed to manage fluid levels, reduce edema, and treat hypertension. The expected outcomes are appropriate urinary output, stable weight and vital signs, and resolution of edema.
Nursing Care Plan Bronchial asthma part 1
This document outlines a nursing care plan for a patient experiencing bronchial asthma. It includes an assessment noting the patient's difficulty breathing and abnormal breathing sounds. The nursing diagnosis is ineffective airway clearance related to excessive mucus secretions. The plan is to clear the airway as evidenced by normal breathing sounds through chest physiotherapy, deep breathing exercises, coughing exercises, providing a bronchodilator, and checking vital signs.
Nursing care plan chronic renal failure
Chronic renal failure can result from diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis, or other causes leading to irreversible kidney damage and decreased glomerular filtration rate. Key nursing priorities include monitoring for excess fluid retention and electrolyte imbalances, ensuring adequate nutrition given potential nausea or appetite changes, and supporting patient mobility despite possible fatigue. Outcome goals are normal fluid balance, adequate nutritional intake without signs of malnutrition, and activity levels within the patient's capabilities.
Hydrocortisone
Hydrocortisone (brand name Cortef) is a steroid medication used for replacement therapy and treatment of allergic and inflammatory disorders. It works by entering target cells and binding to receptors to initiate anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Common side effects include weight gain, increased blood sugar, weakness, osteoporosis and immunosuppression. Nursing considerations for patients on hydrocortisone include assessing for risk factors, monitoring for side effects, and evaluating the effectiveness of treatment.
Case presentation on Myocardial Infarction

He was discharged on the fifth day when his vital signs had stabilized and he could manage on a regular diet with some mobilization.
Case Study on Cerebro Vascular Accident (CVA)
Case study on cerebro vascular accident (CVA) or stroke. It include History, Physical Examination, nursing care plan and Orem's nursing theory applied.
Cerebrovascular disorder or CVA is damage to part of the brain when its blood supply is suddenly reduced or stopped. The part of the brain deprived of blood dies and can no longer function. Blood is prevented from reaching brain tissue when a blood vessel leading to the brain becomes blocked (ischemic) or bursts (hemorrhagic). Symptoms following a stroke come on suddenly and may include: weakness, numbness, or tingling in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or coordination inability to speak or difficulty speaking or understanding, trouble seeing with one or both eyes, or double vision, confusion or personality changes, difficulty with muscle movements, such as swallowing, moving arms and legs, loss of bowel and bladder control, severe headache with no known cause, and loss of consciousness.

Upper respiratory tract infection & otitis media
This document discusses the common cold (acute viral upper respiratory tract infection). It defines the common cold and lists the most common causative viruses. It describes the incubation period and period of infectivity. It discusses the pathophysiology of how viral replication leads to symptoms through immune response and increased vascular permeability. Symptoms in infants and children are outlined. Diagnosis is clinical based on symptoms and exposure. Differential diagnoses and potential complications are provided. Treatment focuses on supportive care and symptomatic relief. Antibiotics are not recommended.
Respiratory tract infections
Respiratory tract infections are classified as either upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) that involve the areas above the vocal cords such as the nose, sinuses and throat, or lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) that involve the areas below the vocal cords such as the trachea and lungs. Common causes of URTI include viruses and bacteria while LRTI are usually caused by bacteria or viruses with pneumonia being the most common LRTI. Symptoms vary depending on the location of the infection but may include cough, sore throat, runny nose and fever. Treatment involves medications to reduce symptoms and antibiotics if caused by bacteria.
7 Upper respiratory tract infections
Upper respiratory tract infections are very common and include conditions like sinusitis, ear infections, epiglottitis, and sore throat. While most are mild and viral, inappropriate antibiotic use has led to increased antibiotic resistance. Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis is usually treated with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid for 5-7 days. Chronic rhinosinusitis requires long-term treatment including nasal steroids, saline irrigation, and sometimes antibiotics or surgery. Group A streptococcal pharyngitis is the only commonly occurring sore throat for which antibiotics are indicated to prevent complications like rheumatic fever. A rapid strep test aids early diagnosis and penicillin remains the treatment of choice.
Upper respiratory tract infections
This document provides information about viruses that cause upper respiratory tract infections, including adenoviruses, coronaviruses, and rhinoviruses. It discusses the structure, properties, replication cycles, clinical manifestations, and treatments associated with each virus. Adenoviruses are non-enveloped DNA viruses that cause respiratory, eye, digestive, and urinary tract infections. Coronaviruses are pleomorphic RNA viruses that cause 10-20% of common colds and also SARS and MERS. Rhinoviruses are small RNA viruses with over 150 serotypes that are the leading cause of the common cold and can exacerbate respiratory conditions.
acute respiratory tract infection
Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are responsible for 20% of childhood deaths under 5 years of age, with pneumonia accounting for 90% of ARI mortality. Children under 2 years old, malnourished children, children with HIV, and those with poor access to healthcare or poorly educated parents are most at risk. ARIs are a common cause of outpatient visits (20-60%) and admissions (12-45%) in children. Common respiratory infections affecting children include the common cold, acute epiglottitis, croup, ear infections, tonsillitis, sinusitis, and pneumonia. Bacteria and viruses can cause ARIs, with symptoms and severity depending on the specific infectious agent.
Upper respiratory tract infection
This document discusses common respiratory illnesses like sore throat and otitis media that are frequently seen in primary care.

Upper Respiratory Infections
1) Upper respiratory tract infections are very common and cause significant illness and costs. The nose, mouth and throat are exposed to viruses and normally harbor bacteria that can cause infection when barriers are compromised.
2) The common cold is usually self-limiting and caused by rhinoviruses, though other viruses can also cause cold symptoms. It is a major cause of illness.
3) Acute bacterial sinusitis occurs when viral infection blocks sinus drainage, allowing bacteria like streptococcus pneumoniae to infect the sinuses. Symptoms include nasal congestion and facial pain.

Scarlet fever ( infectious diseases )
is an upper respiratory tract bacterial infection associated with a characteristic rash, which is caused by an infection with pyrogenic exotoxin (erythrogenic toxin) -producing GAS in individuals who do not have antitoxin antibodies In the past.
scarlet fever was thought to reflect infection of an individual lacking toxin-specific immunity with a toxin-producing strain of GAS.
Subsequent studies have suggested that development of the scarlet fever rash may reflect a hypersensitivity reaction requiring prior exposure to the toxin.
tem & pulse V.S.ppt
Vital signs including temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure are key indicators of a person's physiological status and basic body functions. They are used to assess patients, make diagnoses, plan care, monitor treatment effectiveness, and track a patient's prognosis. Normal body temperature ranges from 36.5-37.5°C. Factors like age, time of day, exercise, hormones, stress, and environment can influence temperature. Common sites to check temperature include the oral cavity, rectum, axilla, ear (tympanic membrane), forehead (temporal artery), and skin. The pulse is the wave of blood created by the left ventricle contraction and reflects the heartbeat under normal conditions.
Environmental
This document provides an overview of various environmental emergencies, including heat and cold disorders, drowning, diving emergencies, high-altitude illness, and nuclear radiation. It discusses the pathophysiology, risk factors, signs and symptoms, treatment, and prevention of these conditions. Key points covered include the mechanisms of heat gain and loss in the body, types of heat disorders like heat cramps and heatstroke, hypothermia, frostbite, and trench foot in cold exposures, and considerations for pressure-related diving injuries.
Body temperature student version
This document discusses body temperature and methods of temperature taking. It covers:
- How body temperature is maintained through metabolism, environmental heat transfer, sweating, and other processes.
- Normal and abnormal temperature ranges for different age groups and measurement sites like oral, rectal, axillary.
- The causes and symptoms of fever and hypothermia. Fever results from the hypothalamus raising the temperature set point while hypothermia occurs when heat loss overwhelms dissipation mechanisms.
- Methods for taking temperatures orally, rectally, and axillary using glass or digital thermometers. Proper procedures are described for each method.
Alterations in body temperature
Body temperature is normally regulated in the hypothalamus and can be affected by factors like age, exercise, hormones, stress, and environment. A condition where temperature regulation is disturbed is called a thermoregulatory disorder and can involve fever, hyperthermia, or hypothermia. Fever is defined as a temperature over 100.4°F due to a raised temperature set point from pyrogens, while hyperthermia is abnormally high body heat from external factors. Hypothermia occurs when core temperature falls below 95°F due to heat loss exceeding production.

Menstrual Disorders
Menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining if pregnancy does not occur, which is necessary to prevent hyperplasia. Abnormal uterine bleeding is defined as bleeding outside of normal parameters in terms of duration, flow amount, or frequency. The causes of abnormal uterine bleeding can be structural like fibroids or polyps, or non-structural like coagulation disorders or hormonal issues. Diagnosis involves history, exams, imaging, and testing, while management treats the underlying cause through hormonal therapy, surgery, or other procedures.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Diabetes is a condition where the body does not properly process glucose due to lack of insulin or insulin resistance. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) occurs when a lack of insulin causes the body to break down fat and produce ketones, leading to hyperglycemia, ketosis and acidosis. DKA treatment involves rehydration, insulin therapy to lower blood glucose and ketone levels, electrolyte replacement, and identifying/treating the precipitating cause. Complications can include infection, shock, thrombosis, pulmonary edema and cerebral edema. Prevention relies on education about sick day management to avoid DKA during illness.
Bandaging
Bandages and dressings are used in wound management. A bandage wraps or binds an injured body part while a dressing covers a wound or burn. Bandages secure dressings, help immobilize broken bones, and apply pressure to bleeding wounds. The process of bandaging involves explaining the procedure to the patient, preparing supplies, inspecting the skin, wrapping the bandage from distal to proximal around the body part with overlapping folds, securing the end, and checking the bandage after application.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-Tech
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.

Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.
