My Summer Experience 2015 Swimming in the ocean, eating barbecue with my friends and family, sunbathing at the beach and having fun with my best friend, these are only three activities I did during my favorite season, summer. My summer adventure was based on going to Juan Dolio with my best friend; Laura. We did many fun activities, made memories and got to know each other a little better. Summer is plenty of advantageous qualities that can benefit someone by doing numerous activities. I've always
I. Artificial dyes are found in a majority of processed foods in America. Most of these synthetic dyes are made of or based off of petroleum, a crude oil. Since these dyes are mainly petroleum based they can cause serious health risks on people, especially those diagnosed with ADHD, attention deficit/hyperactive disorder. Because of these potential dangers, laws dating back to the 19th century have been passed, banning the addition of dyes and other harmful substances to foods. Through the years
According to Julia Wood (2004), “communication is a systemic process in which individuals interact with and through symbols to create and interpret meanings. However, Sheppard (1993) suggests that, in the nurse–patient relationship, communication involves more than the transmission of information; it also involves transmitting feelings, recognizing these feelings and letting the patient know that their feelings have been recognized (M, 1993)”. It is a two way process. The patient conveys their fears
A fitness component that is immensely important in weightlifting is the strength of an individual. It can be measured by looking at how heavy one individual can carry which then will help the committee to eliminate and decide which athletes are applicable for this specific sport. We are helping the committee decide who has the ability to use their muscles to carry heavy amounts of weight because strength is an important factor in weightlifting. The oxygen capacity of an individual is an important
Gaining consent is essential in healthcare practice because it is a legal and ethical value (Welsh Assembly Government [WAG], 2015). Obtaining consent is an ethical requirement because it enables respect for the patient’s autonomy as it includes them in part of the decision-making process (McHale, 2013a). Valid consent must be gained before any action on the capable patient regarding treatment, personal care or investigation (Tidy, 2016). The National Health Service [NHS], 2016) outlines consent
Interviewer: Okay, it 's recording. Today is December 31, 2015 and I am interviewing Dr. Ben Hudson who is a Cardiology Fellow at Good Samaritan Hospital. So, how long have you worked here? Dr. Hudson: I have worked here in one way or another since 2007. I came as a student, and then I was an internal medicine resident, a chief resident, and then a fellow, so, for the last eight years. Interviewer: What is your job title and what does it mean to be a fellow compared to – Dr. Hudson: I’m still
Before completing this experiment, we hypothesized that each person’s heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure would increase right after the exercise, and then decrease for the next three readings. Because the p-value for heart rate is 0.11, there is an 11% probability that our results are due to chance and not the experiment. Because this reading is above 0.05 or 5% (the alpha value in this experiment), we accept the null hypothesis, meaning that walking stairs does not
The intent of this experiment was familiarize the student with using transducer to measure pressure and displacement. In this experiment the human cardiac functions of blood pressure and heart rate were measured using a sphygmomanometer. These measurements were then used to calculate the cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, and total peripheral resistance. Students also gained experience using linear variable resistance sensors, to measure displacement in real time, as well as implementing voltage

the clinics and hospitals by the doctors manually. This method requires the observer to listen to the Korotkoff sounds produced when the blood flow is constricted. One common instrument being used would be the sphygmomanometer, otherwise known as the blood pressure cuff. A sphygmomanometer is made up of an inflatable rubber cuff connected to a rubber squeeze ball which is manually activated to pump and release air, a mercury manometer which indicates the pressure and a stethoscope.
Introduction Research question: Does soft music affect blood pressure? Hypothesis: Soft music does affect blood pressure. It lowers blood pressure when played. Aim: To know more about the reduction of blood pressure and how music can affect one 's blood pressure. Motivation: It is not too hard to reduce your blood pressure, listening to music is one of the things that can reduce it. Medication can lower blood pressure but on the same time cause side effect that causes other diseases e.g leg
High blood pressure is a common condition that a lot of people sufferer from. This is when the force of blood on the walls of your arteries is either too high. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to supply your tissues with oxygen and nutrients. In the hearts two chambers called ventricles contact with each other heart beat to push blood to the lungs and through the arteries the body. As blood flows through them three main factors affect pressure on your artery walls the
changes. During this experiment, different activities were executed in order to assess the blood pressure differences between males and females in the class. Blood pressure was evaluated by measuring the systolic and diastolic pressures with a sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff) and a stethoscope. In this experiment, it was hypothesized that females would have a lower blood pressure than male. To test this hypothesis, measurements of systolic and diastolic pressures were taken while students were
which includes numerous blood pressure check-ups at various times. (3) Diagnose period: Since hypertension doesn't bring about indications, it is critical to have blood checked routinely. Blood pressure is measured with an instrument called a sphygmomanometer. A fabric secured elastic sleeve is wrapped around the upper arm and expanded. At the point when the sleeve is swelled, a vein in the arm is pressed to immediately stop the stream of blood. At that point, the air is let out of the sleeve while
pressure is also measured indirectly, such as with a medical instrument. The arterial blood pressure is taken because it determines the heart’s condition the health of the blood vessels. The systolic and diastolic blood pressures are taken with a sphygmomanometer. The average resting systolic BP for young adults is ~120mmHg. The resting diastolic BP for young adults is ~70mmHg. Then, with the results of these
(Shepard, 1999). This larger oxygen requirement increases the blood flow from 1 L/min to up to 20 L/min in order to compensate for the increased oxygen requirements of the muscles, which is known as exercise hyperemia (Guyton, 1985). Using a digital sphygmomanometer, which calculates blood pressure and heart rate through inflating a blood pressure cuff, allowing the observation of the change in heart rate and blood pressure after exercise (Kosinski, 2017). According to Marieb (1989), the average heart rate
Korotkoff sounds, also known as the K-Sounds are the arterial sounds heard through a stethoscope which is placed to the brachial artery distal to the cuff of a sphygmomanometer that change with varying cuff pressure. The Korotkoff sounds are used to determine systolic and diastolic blood pressure. These sounds are classified into five different phases. The phase 1 (K-1), phase II (K-2), phase III (K-3), phase IV (K-4)
Registered Nurse: The medical field has different types of jobs you can choose from. The particular job that is most popular is a “Registered Nurse”. A registered nurse has many different duties and responsibilities they have to do when it comes to this job. They also use all kinds of technology to use on the patient. For instance, they nurses use computers, monitors, clinical information systems or electronic health record and more. The type of equipment they use are stethoscopes, blood pressure
The careers of an EMT and a paramedic is based on caring for the injured and sick people. Many times people need immediate assistance and that is the time where the role of the EMTs and paramedics starts its action. EMTs and paramedics respond to emergency calls that require medical assistance, they put bandages on wounds, they perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), they examine patients conditions to choose the method of treatment, they provide first-aid or life support care, they transport
In this course, we learn about the knowledge of diagnostics. Diagnostic is a bridge connecting basic study and clinical science. The teacher also told us some example in diagnostic. The first example is a woman with the Hyperthyroidism, if thyroid produce too much T3 or T4, it will lead to this disease. How can we diagnosis this disease, the clearest symptom is the patient’s neck will be swelling. The second example is a woman with the Cushing’s syndrome, the reasons cause this disease is the level
