Benefits of certain Methods of contraception

Argue the Benefits of certain methods of contraception: following, “The only way to solve the socioeconomic situation that afflicts us all, but that falls on the most necessary classes, is to carry out severe population control. As an officer of the area, I am going to add to the welfare policy that the people demand a severe plan to limit the NATIVITY of the marginal sectors. I have hired a team of specialists who will be in charge of convincing the locals about the benefits of certain methods of contraception. If the method does not work, we will resort to a direct or hidden imposition: the help that we can offer will be proportional to the ‘obedience’ that we can achieve…”

Assess skin color for Development of cyanosis

Topic: Gas Exchange and Assess skin color for development of cyanosis

Provide the expected outcomes for each of the following Nursing interventions:

 

Diagnosis: Risk for aspiration related to Dysphagia

 

Nursing Intervention, rationale and Expected outcome

 

1.Interventions:  Position patient upright during feedings.

Rationale: The elevated head helps keep food in the stomach and reduces aspiration.

Expected outcome:

 

2.Intervention: Assist patient with oral intake

Rationale:  Assisting helps the strategy for safe swallowing.

Expected outcome:

 

3. Intervention: Perform oral care before and after meal.

Rationale: Oral care after eating removes food residues that could cause aspiration at a later time.

Expected outcome:

 

4.Intervention: Patient placed on their side.

Rationale: This position decreases the risk for aspiration by promoting drainage of secretions out of the mouth instead of pharynx.

Expected outcome:

 

 

 

Diagnosis: risk for impaired Gas exchange related to patient’s history of smoking.

 

Nursing intervention/Rationale/Expected out

 

5.Intervention: Position client with head of bed elevated, in a semi-Fowler’s position as tolerated.

Rationale: Semi-Fowler’s position allows increased lung expansion because the abdominal contents are not crowding the lungs.

Expected outcome:

 

6.Intervention: Assess the patient’s nutritional status.

Rationale: Malnutrition can be lead to loss of muscle mass, this can affect breathing muscle.

Expected outcome:

 

7.Intervention: Monitor vital signs.

Rationale: With initial hypoxia and hypercapnia, blood pressure (BP), heart rate, and respiratory rate all rise.

Expected outcome:

 

8.Intervention:  Assess skin color for development of cyanosis.

Rationale: To ensure that adequate amount of oxygen is supplied to tissues and organs. 

Expected outcome:

 

Perform oral care before and after meal
