Total Hip Replacement Hip arthroplasty is using a prosthesis to replace hip joint is one of the most common surgical procedures today (Walker, 2007). A good surgical team will increase the success rate of the total hip replacement. However, proper nursing interventions during pre-operative and post-operative phase of the surgery is very important for the patient. Nurses spend more time with patients compared to the other health care personnel. Therefore, a good nursing care will better…

Clinical Paper for Off-Sight Observation Experience: Special Procedures Madison Munday University of North Dakota Clinical Paper for Off-Sight Observation Experience: Special Procedures For my off-sight observation experience, I was assigned to shadow at Special Procedures. I had the opportunity to learn about many different conditions and procedural techniques, so it was an excellent contribution to my nursing education. At Special Procedures, I was able to follow three patients.…

cellular waste products and permits blood to circulate and form cells in the body to nourish it with every heartbeat throughout the body.However, the Cardiovascular system is composed of the following organs, heart and blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries. One of the major structures of this system is the heart which functions to propel blood throughout the body, supplying oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. For example, the right side of the heart pumps blood through the…

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and extracellular matrix (ECM): Blood vessels, include arteries that transport blood from the heart to the systemic circulation, and veins that transport blood back again into the heart. A remarkable change in blood vessel structure and function happened, with the emergence of a high-pressure, pulsatile circulatory system in vertebrates. Blood vessels then evolved from simple tubes for channeling blood or other body fluids from a low-pressure heart. According…

Body systems and the bond types of Vitamins and Minerals go hand in hand. The Digestive System breaks down food into vitamins and minerals to be transported to other body systems. The Integumentary System is made up of skin, which uses copper to create Melanin to help protect against the sun. The Integumentary System also uses Vitamins A and C, as well as Niacin and Zinc for healthy growth and repair of skin. The Respiratory System consists of mouth, nose and lungs to inhale oxygen and exhale…

Unit 2 The physiology of fitness P1 P2 M1 In this assignment I have been asked to talk about the physiology of fitness, because I am on am football so it is important for me to understand this side of the game. In P1 it is all about how the musculoskeletal and energy system responses to acute exercise. P2 is about the cardiovascular and repertory system and how that responds to acute exercise. M1 wants me to explain the response for the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and repertory system to…

The spleen can be found in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen, lying posteriorly to the stomach and underneath the diaphragm. The spleen can be found enclosed in a capsule of dense irregular connective tissue (Krause, 2008). Prone to infections and other conditions, the spleen can easily become enlarged because it is highly vascularized. Malignancies, parasites, liver diseases and other conditions passed in the blood and immune system can cause the spleen to be infected. In addition to the…

During exercise or human movement, a person’s heart rate, the number of beats per minute, and also systolic blood pressure increases as the intensity of the exercise increases. While diastolic blood pressure will remain the same with the exception of a 10-mmHg gap change. A typical person’s blood pressure remains around 120/80 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). It may not be the exact numbers but it is very similar to the standard. During a type of exercise a person’s systolic blood pressure, “the…

Worksheet 1: Biological Hierarchy; and Organising the Natural World 1. Define what is meant by the “biological hierarchy”. Biological hierarchy is the structured organisation of all biological entities. It can be shown in pyramid form with the most simple element at the base being atoms and at the pinnacle is the ecosphere, the most complex. 2. What is an “emergent property?” An emergent property is when a new property develops on the next step in the biological hierarchy as the levels…

The human heart contains a specialized conduction system through which it can create and transmit electrical impulses without any external neural input. The main components of the conduction system of the heart include the SA node, AV node, Bundle of His and the Purkinje fibers. The sinoatrial node (also known as SA node) is a natural pacemaker and is responsible for depolarization of the right and left atrium. This produces a P wave on the EKG reading which is normally 0.1 second and its normal…
