Application of Anatomy and Physiology when Performing Direct Patient Care
Scenario: A patient suffering from the following conditions requires direct patient care:
Urosepsis (Urinary tract infection)
Acute Gouty arthritis (Gout)
Cardiac dysrhythmias (Irregular heartbeat)
Hypertensive renal disease (Kidney damage caused by chronic high blood pressure)
DM Type II (Type II diabetes)
Bipolar (Bipolar disorder)
Derangement of joint (Internal joint damage caused by previous trauma)
Contracture joint (Permanent shortening and contraction of joint)
Dental condition (Missing all but four front teeth)
The presence of urosepsis in a patient already suffering from the chronic condition of Type II diabetes is an immediate concern. Diabetes causes many of the predisposing factors, including poor glycemic control, high urinary glucose, and increased bacterial adherence to uroepithelial cells,...
This situation requires immediate treatment of the urinary tract infection through the administration of appropriate antibiotics to assure that the patient's diabetes is not complicated further.
The patient's gout is a chronic condition that is closely related to the prexisiting derangement and contracture of the joints. While these conditions are no doubt quite painful for the patient to cope with, the administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine, or intra-articular or systemic glucocorticoids will assist in alleviating aches and pains. As a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), my twice-weekly clinic at the local long-term care facility required me to learn about various massage techniques that nurses can use to help patients cope with severe joint pain, and this patient may benefit from some of these techniques.
The latest research on physical contact to alleviate pain during direct patient care suggest that's massaging over bony prominences…

("Introduction to Radiologist Assistant: Practice Standards," n. d.) The Registered Radiologist Assistant finds out if the objectives of the action plan have been attained. The Registered Radiologist Assistant assesses the patient and the process to detect variances which might influence the anticipated result; terminates the assessment process in a timely, correct and all-inclusive manner; quantifies the process against instituted policies, benchmarks and protocols; detects exceptions to the anticipated results; records

Quality of Life Among Tawau Hospital Sufering From Knee Osteoarthritis With Physiotherapy Qualitative study of How Quality of Life of Tawau Hospital Staff Suffering from Knee Osteoarthritis have been improved at Physiotherapy Unit. To investigate how the Quality of Life among Tawau Hospital staff suffering from Osteoarthritis (knees) have been improved using Physiotherapy intervention. The study employs qualitative techniques to collect data. The sample population is selected from people and Tawau Hospital staff visiting the
The practice of manipulative thrust therapy can be dangerous and cases of injuries and tragic events have been recorded. Cases of vertebral artery dissection (VAD) have been recorded in people that had the cervical spine manipulation technique done and research on the cases from 1966 to 1993 concluded 30% could be attributed to the procedure (Cleland 2007). VADs are spontaneous and can be normally present at the initial onset of
