Case summary:
Person MC came with her daughter who was suffering from strep throat and diagnosed using a rapid strep test. The child was given penicillin and ready for discharge. Nurse X entered and discussed with Person X on the discharge summary and instruction. Nurse X instructed her with the prescription of 10 doses of penicillin.
Person MC said that she cannot afford the medication and prescription. Then, Nurse X told Person MC about the essentiality of the medication and prescription because this may lead to glomerulo nephritis and rheumatic fever. Person MC asked Nurse X to elaborate on the disease regarding the percentage of recovery and others where Nurse X is not comfortable as being the sole and primary informer.

- Topic: What does EMG activity look like and how does this change with increasing intensity of muscle contraction? What does the relationship between the biceps RMS EMG amplitude and contraction intensity suggest? If contraction of one skeletal muscle fibre produces electrical activity (i.e. EMG activity), what does the above relation imply? There are several factors that influence tension produced by a whole skeletal muscle. Which 2 factors are preliminary influencing the relationship between the Biceps RMS EMGamplitude and contraction intensity in the current task?

(I need descriptions of considering the both possibilities). Your answer should include a description about what the QRS complex represents, whether the relevant heart chamber is contracting or relaxing, the specific valves involved, and how the pressure within the relevant heart chamber determines whether these valves are open or closed. Does the second heart sound (dupp) occur before or after the T wave and explain why this is the case? (I need descriptions of considering both of the possibilities). Your answer should include a description about what the T wave represents, whether the relevant heart chamber is contracting or relaxing, the specific valves involved, and how the pressure within the relevant chamber and vessels determines whether these valves are open or closed.

Your answer should include the name of the relevant heart chamber, the direction of blood flow through the relevant valve, the name of the elastic artery that the oxygenated blood is ejected into, and the type of blood vessel that ransports the oxygenated blood to the fingers. Why is there a delay between the first heart sound (lubb) and onset of the rising phase of the pulse pressure? State the normal resting mean arterial pressure (include units of measure) and name one lifestyle factor that could account for variation in resting mean arterial pressure between individuals?

- Schizophrenia Instructions: Instrument/ Tool criteria: For each assessment you are tasked with selecting, you will identify an instrument and: List what DSM diagnosis the tool/instrument is used for. Identify an assessment/diagnosis instrument. Appraise a scholarly, peer-reviewed article that addresses the use of the instrument to support your choice as an evidence-based instrument for practice. Evaluate the instrument’s appropriateness for diagnosing the condition it is designed to assess or if the developers of the instrument reported that the instrument is only part of a comprehensive assessment for the disorder. Describe whether or not the instrument can be used to measure patient response to therapy/treatment or if it is strictly for assessment and diagnosis. Discuss the psychometrics/scoring of the instrument, including reliability and validity. Discuss any limitations associated with the use of the instrument.arrow_forwardreflective essay using driscoll modelarrow_forwardWhat is the goal of ventilation?
