Proper perineal care allows for inspection of the skin. It keeps the perineal area clean and less likely to break down. It also decreases the risk for urinary tract infections.
if you like this kindly give your comment and share to others for a education purpose. and follow to my account on slide share to know the update. i tried to give the all information in this slide in detailed. in hope its helpful for you all.
Injections, also known as shots, deliver liquid medications, fluids, or nutrients directly into a person’s body. A healthcare professional can use injections to administer vaccines and other types of medications into a person’s vein, muscle, skin, or bone.

Cervical Cancer Symptoms, Causes, TreatmentsMedWorld India
Cervical cancer is the malignancy that starts in the cervix. Cervical cancer instigate from the cells located on the surface of the cervix. Cervical cancer occurs in several forms. The most common is squamous cell carcinoma, which accounts for 85 to 90 percent of cervical cancers.
A suppository is a drug delivery system that is inserted into the rectum (rectal suppository), vagina (vaginal suppository) or urethra (urethral suppository), where it dissolves or melts and is absorbed into the blood stream. They are used to deliver both systemically and locally acting medications.
Medications need to be safe and effective. Doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners and a few other professionals are trained in how to safely give you medication. Administration of medications requires understanding how the medication is entering your body. It also requires knowledge of when the medication needs to be administered, possible side effects, and toxicity. Training for professionals also includes proper storage, handling, and disposal of medications.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

3. Introduction
Vagina is route for administration for
contraceptives, antifungal and anti microbial.
It is used for the achievement of local and
systemic absorption.
Vaginal medications include suppositories,
creams, gels, and ointments.
Suppositories melt when they contact the
vaginal mucosa, and their medication diffuses
topically (as effectively as creams, gels, and
ointments).
Vaginal medications usually come with a
disposable applicator that enables placement of
medication in the anterior and posterior fornices.
4. Advantages
Prolonged release.
Minimal systemic side effects.
An increase in bioavailability.
Use of less total drug than an oral dose.
First-pass metabolism can be avoided.
Self medication is possible.
5. Disadvantages
Patient incompliance.
Only a few drugs are administered by this route.
Variability in drug absorption related with
menstrual cycle, menopause and pregnancy, can
also limit vaginal drug delivery route usage.
Influence with sexual intercourse.
Gender specificity.
6. Forms of vaginal medication
Many different types of formulations have been applied
vaginally as-
Tablets
Vaginal suppositories or pessaries (globular, oviform
or cone-shaped, and weighing about 5 g each. )
Douches (aqueous solutions that are administered into
the vagina for cleansing purpose. )
Foams
Sprays
Gels
Creams
Vaginal rings
(Creams, gels, sprays and foams are used as vehicles for
drugs such as anti-infective or contraceptive agents.)
7. General instructions
To prevent damage, suppositories must be stored
in refrigerator.
Foams, jellies, and cream are administered with
an inserter or applicator.
Perineal pads may be used to collect excess
drainage after inserting a suppository.
Good aseptic technique must be followed.
Good perineal hygiene must be maintained.
The patient should be encouraged to empty her
bladder as she has to lie down for 20 minutes
The patient can either lie supine with knees up or
lateral with knees up
Always lubricate the pessary or applicator before
inserting
8. Articles required

Position the client in a dorsal recumbent position with knees
flexed and hips rotated laterally or in a Sims’ position.
Assess perineal area, inspect vaginal orifice, note any odor or
discharge from the vagina, and inquire about any problems
such as itching or discomfort.
10. Procedure
If secretion or discharge is present, cleanse the
perineal area with soap and water.
Remove suppository from the foil wrapper and, if
applicable, insert into applicator tip.
Apply a small amount of lubricant to rounded tip of
suppository.
If not using an applicator, apply a small amount of
lubricant to gloved index finger.

the suppository into the vaginal canal at least 2 inches
(5 cm) along the posterior wall of the vagina or as far
as it will go
If using an applicator, insert as described above and
depress plunger to release suppository.
11. Procedure
After care-
Wipe the perineum with clean, dry tissue.
Instruct the client to remain in bed for 15 minutes.
Wash applicator under cool running water to clean and
return to appropriate storage in the client’s room.
Remove gloves, turning them inside out, dispose them.
Wash hands.
Record on the MAR the drug’s name dosage, route, and
date and time of administration; document any evidence
of discharge or odor from the vagina.
Check with the client in 15 minutes to ensure that the
suppository did not slip out and to allow the client to
verbalize any problems or concerns.
Observe for effectiveness of the medication; inspect the
condition of the vaginal canal and external genitalia
between applications.
