...back is the most common and prevalent complaint among patients. The sudden onset of pain is usually described as severe, deep, sharp, and constant. Pain aggregation can be caused by eating, especially high-fat meals, alcohol and lying in a reclined position. The pain is not relieved by vomiting. Repositioning is often necessary to provide comfort. Additional symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diminished bowel sounds, abdominal tenderness/guarding and distention, lung crackles, restlessness, anxiety, weight loss, low-grade fever, hypotension, dyspnea, tachypnea, tachycardia, jaundice, leukocytosis, hyperglycemia, hypocalcemia, elevated blood lipase and amylase levels, abnormal ultrasound and CT scan of pancreas, abnormal ERCP or MRCP, as well as Cullen’s and Turner’s sign (Lewis, 2014; Silvestri, 2014). The patient reflected in this report is a 67-year-old male who was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain as well as nausea and vomiting. This patient’s medical history includes chronic lung disease, DVT, DM, hernia repair, STD, sleep apnea, hyperlipidemia, past 3 pack/day smoker with a history of chewing tobacco use, previous alcoholic, sober since 1978. Preceding the arrival to the hospital, the patient had stated that he was walking in from his deer blind when he began to suffer from extreme abdominal pain that would not subside post emesis. Earlier that day he had consumed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, no other precipitating symptoms were described. Blood...

It makes it easier on the digestive tract by giving the GI a chance to rest and heal without causing more harm. The patient also has to expend energy to breakdown foods/nutrition through the GI tract. Getting it TPN conserves the much needed energy the patient needs to heal their tissues and gain strength. | Activity: bedridden w/slight mobility with a walker | Rationale: Post surgical abdominal surgery, pt age, weakness, and recent foot surgery limiting her mobility. | Behavior/Affect: My pt was anxious when I first arrived due to her elevated B/P, N&V, and pain intolerance.

...The pancreas is a part of the endocrine system, and is located in the abdominal cavity surrounded by the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and stomach. The pancreas processes both exocrine and endocrine function. The exocrine function consists of the secretion of digestive enzymes into the duodenum through ducts. The enzymes digest starches and fats. The endocrine functions are a cluster of cells called the islets of Langerhans and only make up 2% of the pancreatic tissue. The islets of Langerhans is made up of three cells, alpha, beta, and delta. There function is to secrete hormones and paracrine products. The most important hormones secreted are insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin. Alpha cells secrete glucagon, which increase blood glucose levels between meals. Beta cells secrete insulin, this is secreted when the level of glucose rises in the blood. Insulin stimulates cells to store nutrients to use between meals and at night to maintain blood glucose levels. Delta cells secrete somatostatin, after meals when blood glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids raise in the blood. Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant cancer. Tumors commonly originate from the epithelial cells of the pancreatic ductal system. This can happen in two ways, one that it has metastasized from a different part of the body, generally the lungs, breast, thyroid, kidneys, and skin. Second form is a primary tumor manly adenocarcinomas. Adenocarcinomas occur in secretory cells called...

...Critical Care Case Study Crystal Meyer Mohave Community College Nursing 222 Mrs. Michelle Christensen April 1, 2014 Critical Care Case Study ADMISSION TC is a 61-year-old English speaking Caucasian female born on April 29, 1952. She weighs 99.7 Kg and is 5 feet, 5 inches in height with a BMI of 35.84. On March 5, 2014, TC was brought into the emergency department after her daughter-in-law called 911 when she found TC unresponsive at home in her bathroom. When paramedics arrived, she was found to be cool, pale, and diaphoretic with oxygen saturations in the high 70’s. Emergency responders placed a non-rebreather high flow oxygen mask and her oxygenation began to improve with saturations in the low 90’s. Upon arrival to the emergency department, TC’s vital signs were as follows: T 97.4; P 97; BP 120/95 mm Hg; RR 15 per minute; and O2 sats of 98% via NRB oxygen mask on 8L. A chest x-ray (CXR) revealed no abnormality and lungs were determined to be grossly clear. However, TC was checked for a pulmonary embolism via a pulmonary artery angiogram with IV contrast and found to have a large clot burden with a small saddle embolism. TC also complained of right ankle pain. An X-ray of her right ankle revealed a distal tib/fib fracture, which was presumed to be related to her fall during her hypoxic episode. With these findings, TC was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Kingman Regional Medical Center and placed on an NPO diet in preparation for placement of an inferior vena...

With the excessive use of plastics and increasing pressure being placed on capacities available for plastic waste disposal, the need for biodegradable plastics and biodegradation of plastic wastes has assumed increasing importance in the last few years. Awareness of the waste problem and its impact on the environment has awakened new interest in the area of degradable polymers. The interest in environmental issues is growing and there are increasing demands to develop material which do not burden the environment significantly. Biodegradation is necessary for water-soluble or water-immiscible polymers because they eventually enter streams which can neither be recycled nor incinerated. It is important to consider the microbial degradation of natural and synthetic polymers in order to understand what is necessary for biodegradation and the mechanisms involved. This...

...Dear nutrition student, Thank you for inquiring about my RD/DTR study guide. And yes, there is no catch, the study guide is COMPLETELY FREE! All I ask for is some feedback. So feel free to shoot me any questions/comments! A little background: This study guide is the culmination of years of my own research. And after careful thought, I put into the study guide what I feel are the most important concepts you need to know for the RD/DTR exam. If you notice, I spent much time teaching you in detail the concepts you need to know, not just “spitting” you questions with little or no explanation. I believe this is important. I know you might be thinking “oh, how am I going to absorb and learn all this material?” I say, just read and answer the questions at your own pace. Simply test yourself and of course take some breaks along the way. Just take it one concept at a time. After you have mastered one concept, then move on to the next. I know if you study whole-heartedly what I have outlined in this study guide, you are sure to pass! GOOD LUCK! YOU CAN DO IT! ϑ Your nutrition friend, -Jonathan Brown, B.S, DTR THE “NO FLUFF” RD/DTR STUDY GUIDE *Updated as of July 2011 The “NO FLUFF” RD/DTR STUDY GUIDE Tips for taking the RD/DTR exam 1.

A clean catch urine is difficult to obtain and requires clear directions. Instructing the client to carefully clean the meatus, then void naturally with a steady stream prevents surface bacteria from contaminating the urine specimen. As starting and stopping flow can be difficult, once the client begins voiding it’s best to just slip the container into the stream. Other responses do not reflect correct technique 3.

Both Unilever companies have the same directors and effectively operate as a single business. The current non-executive Chairman of Unilever N.V. and PLC is Michael Treschow while Patrick Cescau is Group Chief Executive, who will retire at the end of 2014. Mr Paul Polman will succeed Patrick Cescau as Group Chief Executive. The company is widely listed on the world's stock exchanges. 1.2 Origin of report Since practical orientation is an integral part of the MBA program, I tried to expose real life performance of Unilever by preparing this report. To prepare this report I have come across with different information of the Unilever. From the collected information I understand the company’s activities in the market as Unilever as in their internal preparation for marketing and others activities. I expect that this report will fulfill the requirement of MBA program and provide a clear idea about the Unilever activities and other multi-national company’s effort in the Bangladesh. Thus, Unilever can get deep understand of actual situation of MN’s company’s activities by analyzing their exposed strategy. 1.3 Objective This Study is intended to analyze marketing strategies used by Unilever Bangladesh Ltd and globe.
