While the disorder can be passed down through family members, it sometimes is only seen in one family member due to the change in genes. Extra digits can form in many combinations. They are usually smaller and develop differently than the regular finger. As stated by Seattle Children’s Hospital, they range from the simplicity of just skin and soft tissue all the way to the complexity of skin and soft tissue with a bone and joint. These more formed digits may have all the components of a normal digit, connecting deep inside the body. Three types of polydactyly can be labeled based on the location of the digit. Pre-axial polydactyly is having an extra digit outside the big toe (tibial polydactyly) and outside the thumb (radial polydactyly). Post-polydactyly is characterized by a digit outside the little toe (fibular polydactyly) and the little finger (ulnar polydactyly). Extra fingers or toes between other digits is called central polydactyly. These extra digits usually cause the patient no pain. Parents of the patients usually feel concern, but the process of being polydactyl is…

Declawing Cats: It Should Be Illegal In 2015 New York lawmakers considered a bill to ban the practice of declawing cats. The proposed legislation caused many debates amongst veterinarians, animal behaviorists, and pet owners as to whether or not it should be illegal. Onychectomy or declawing is a procedure where the toe bones and attached claws of a cat are amputated through a surgical operation. Advocates of declawing cats argue that it is a necessary procedure to provide cats a better chance…

on, I would be protected from the fast and hard fist. My brace could have acted like a metal suit of armor if that problem ever came across. I also learned a fun and useful trick when I had it. True, it is probably not an extremely challenging trick and many people can do it, but still it was handy and fun to use. When I had the brace on, bending down to get something off the ground was doable, but it was very incommodious to do. So I tried to avoid it as much as I could. I discovered a trick…

Distinct clinical manifestations of a PE include elevated heart rate, respiratory rate and SOB. During a PE, the lungs slowly start to dysfunction due to a build-up of fluid, the PE affects the gas exchange resulting in the body becoming hypoxic and SOB. The body tries to compensate by increasing the respiratory rate to get more oxygen in, resulting in the present of tachypnoea (Ireland, 2017). As the body becomes hypoxic the heart compensates by increasing the blood flow to circulate oxygen to…

is located) the magnitude of what I was doing became more evident. As I approached the entrance of the forensic center with any case, I get knots in my stomach. The security was awaiting my arrival at the morgue, and they knew the case I was bringing in. As a member of the funeral service field, I have worked closely with security on many occasions. The guards are typically somewhat chipper even though we only meet for sad interactions, but when you bring in a child they have few words to say. I…

The head to toe assessment serves as a foundation to nursing, providing insight into a patient's mental, physical, and social health. This assessment allows a nurse to gather information on his or her patient, while instigating a honest and trusting patient-provider relationship. During my video validation this week, it sanctioned me to demonstrate my health assessment skills, while acquiring exerperience. The cue identifier for my head to toe assessment stood as gas exchange/patient cough,…

why). In simulation this week, I was effective in remembering the majority of the steps for the head to toe (I always seem to forget orientation and capillary refill). I quickly realized at the end if I had left out any steps and by the end of simulation I felt much more confident in completing a head to toe exam. I also did a good job of noticing what my peers missed during their head to toe exam. I was also effective in moving at a good speed for all my assessments. I took around 8…
