Scenario 4 Karen has previously been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis – a long-term inflammatory disease of the airways that results in thick viscous mucous obstructing multiple airways. In Karen’s recent visit to the hospital, she was also diagnosed with right-sided heart failure due to her poorly managed pulmonary hypertension.

As a consequence, she has also developed peripheral oedema (fluid shifting from the intravascular space to the interstitium). Question Five Answer the following questions regarding how chronic bronchitis and right-side heart failure affect the normal function of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.

Middle Cerebral artery stroke

Case study scenario 1: Assume that you are working as an EN in a stroke unit. Sherly, 48 years, is admitted with middle cerebral artery stroke and is recovering well. She is due to be discharged tomorrow. Sherly has severe paresis and sensory loss of left extremities, uncoordinated movements and slurred speech. Sherly requires restorative care and is anxious about her future life. She requires a wheel chair to move around. Sherly is a migrant with permanent residency in Australia. She has limited knowledge and understanding of resources that she could utilise in managing her condition.

 

1. Identify and briefly describe any three (3) specific community based care services that are available for Sherly to ensure a coordinated service approach to provide her with rehabilitation care.

A Non-healing foot ulceration

Mrs Melisa Carfi, a 65-year-old female patient with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, was admitted in your health care facility with a non-healing foot ulceration. Prior to admission, Melisa’s diabetes was managed with metformin. Upon admission, subcutaneous insulin with a diabetic diet was initiated along with oral anti-diabetic agents to achieve optimal blood glucose control.

 

2. Provide a list of four (4) specific questions you would ask Melisa in order to seek information to confirm her understanding of the condition and its impact.

 

  1. What specific information will you give to Melisa if you are to provide health education on dietary management and physical activity with the goal of losing weight?

Transient Ischemic Attack

Mr David Ventor, 76 years old, has Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, hypertension and a history of a Transient Ischemic Attack x 3 months ago. Mr Ventor’s wife passed away a month ago. A community enrolled nurse visiting Mr Ventor’s home noticed the kitchen in an unhygienic condition with leftover food including pizza, juice and ice cream cartons.

The enrolled nurse observed that Mr Ventor was upset and teary when talking about his health status and the demise of his dear wife. The community RN is due to visit Mr Ventor next week. At the previous visit, there were no unusual activities to be noted or cause worry in relation to Mr Ventor. Mr Ventor’s son moved in with him a week ago. His son is unemployed and an alcoholic. He was not at home during the visit.

The enrolled nurse asked Mr Ventor how supportive his son was in addressing his father’s needs. Mr Ventor didn’t reply and stared away with teary eyes. Mr Ventor was unwell with a cough and chronic back pain. The enrolled nurse convinced Mr Ventor to seek medical support. An ambulance was called and Mr Ventor was transferred and admitted to a medical ward in the hospital for further evaluation and management.

 

4. Identify and discuss the current contribution of community agencies and professionals in supporting Mr Ventor, referring to the scenario provided.

 

 

5. Identify and discuss the level and type of contribution and support made by Mr Ventor’s son in managing his health condition and current situation.

 

 

6. How effectively did the enrolled nurse respond to variations in Mr Ventor’s needs?

Enzyme’s catalytic rate

What is(are) true about the enzymes? (check all that apply) Both enzyme and substrate concentrations affect enzyme’s catalytic rate. All of these Enzyme lowers reaction rates. Enzymes can be reused. Enzyme lowers activation energy.is a near equilibrium reaction that obeys the Law of Mass Action. How wi this reaction be altered if an excess ofis added?

It will drive the reaction forward (toward). It will produce more of the compound. It will simply produce more of the compound. The equation will not be altered. It will drive the reaction in the reverse (toward).
