Health History

Introduction Health history assessment is a vital part of the nursing process. This process establishes the foundation through which nurses can diagnose and create a care plan for their patients. That said, incorrect health assessments may result in misdiagnosis, hence wrongful care plan development. For this task, I interviewed Anna, L. (not her real name). The following discussion encompasses a review and reflection of this interview.

Demographic Data

Anna is a 26-year-old single female of Japanese descent. She recently moved to the US to pursue her degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her hobbies include traveling, photography, blogging, dancing, ...

Minerals are natural inorganic substances that are found in rocks and soil and are considered essential components for human survival. Minerals compose an estimate 4% of the body and are necessary for normal functioning of the body. Humans are incapable of producing minerals which is why it is necessary to obtain minerals from plant and meat sources. Soil contains nearly 45% of minerals, wherein plants absorb all natural minerals which is absorbed in the human body upon consumption (Ward 2014). 18 minerals are considered essential out of the total 103 known minerals. Some of the major function so minerals ...

Three phase induction motors

Introduction The three-phase induction machine is the most widely used among the rotating machines. An induction machine offers an almost constant speed within its normal operating range when operated off a constant-voltage, constant-frequency, and with the electric power source. The cost of purchasing these machines is very low, and they require little maintenance. However, speed control is difficult and very expensive. Therefore, the rotor current of the three phase induction motors is not induced by electrical connections, but rather the rotation of magnetic field.

Squirrel Cage Rotor construction

The rotor type of the motor is made up of a laminated core which is ...

It is a fact that people want to have the perfect smile, one like the stars of Hollywood have. And it is not unusual to desire having the perfect teeth because they add to a person’s physical beauty, and they also enhance one’s confidence while they communicate, smile or take a picture. Therefore, if a person does not have the perfect teeth, has cavities or needs help in enhancing their beauty, then dental technology can immensely help them. Dental technology is not a new phenomenon; rather it has been present since over one hundred and fifty years, ...

Education, Training and Employment for Dental Hygienist

The Surgeon General has emphasized that oral health is an integral aspect of health (Mertz, Lindler & Dower, 2011). Oral care is typically provided within the dental office by trained professionals, namely the dentist, the dental hygienist, and the dental assistant. Each has his/her field of specialization and plays an important role in providing patients with good oral care. Understanding the dental hygienist role, the education and training, needed for professional work, and the employment prospects contributes to an informed decision in choosing a career in this field.

The Dental Hygienist Role

The dental hygienist role and responsibilities are regulated at the state level ...

Innovation stems from learning new things and learning stems from education. The many professionals we have at this day and age are products of good education. Over the past weeks, I have gained exceptional knowledge in the field of ethics. In my journey to becoming a dental hygienist, I intend to apply on all my endeavors everything I learned from EDUC 1300. The world of dental hygiene has greatly transformed in various aspects – from controlling infection, controlling pain, widespread use of ultrasonic and periodontal treatment (Milling, 2016). A dental hygienist profession provides a great variety of challenges. And these ...

Introduction

Nutritional needs changes throughout a person’s life that if not properly assessed may lead to malnutrition. Malnutrition is the state of the body lacking important nutrients or having excess or imbalance of energy. According to studies, 16% of people over 65 years and 2% of people over 85 years are malnourished. Studies also show that approximately two-thirds of people occupying hospital beds are above the age of 65 years (Ahmed & Haboubi, 2010). Malnutrition is associated with a number of health outcomes such as poor wound healing, slow recovery from surgery, higher hospital readmissions, and deaths. Malnutrition is high ...

Complications of Removable Implant Supported Prostheses

Introduction The two main complications that result from removable implants are biological and mechanical/technical complications. There is need to assess and interpret data on the incidence of complications, both biological and technical with caution. Berglundh, Persson, and Klinge (2002), found that implant loss was the most common problem, while technical complications were observable in about 60-80% and biological complications – 40-60% of the studies they evaluated. According to Sadowsky (2007), there are no specifications on the length, distribution, and number of implants; however the suggestion for non-palatal coverage designs should be a minimum of 4 implants. In case of risk ...

What holes did you find in the article entitled, “Effective Gating?”

Dr. Cooper, R.G., in his article “Effective Gating” claims that modern companies do not stop any projects at their 1st stage, but rather take them all into further business’s product roadmap stations. Taking into account limited resources the company affords, passing too many innovative projects through the Gate 1 stage may result in financial losses and will definitely deter management from the most profitable ideas. However, the author also states that companies can and should kill and send for reviews projects at any stage, not only when the idea is just created (Cooper, 2009, p.13). So, he encourages ...

With four treatment options, the patient must undergo a thorough consultation with the clinician, covering each restoration type. Each treatment presentation will include the benefits and drawbacks the that particular method, risks and/or impediments associated with placement, complications that can arise after placement and daily maintenance protocols. The presentations must be clear and concise and devoid of scientific terminology that may not be recognized by the patient. To enhance understanding, it is recommended that the presentations utilize models, photographs and/or drawings representing the final product; images of previous cases can be used if they comply with all patient confidentiality ...

I woke this morning to the smell of fresh coffee; a regular brew of freshly crushed beans from which I draw enough energy to manage through the first hours of the day. After hastily downing two cups full of the concoction, I made my way to the bathroom for my morning ritual. Taking the small brush from my collection of cosmetics, I applied a small amount of the sticky white substance that is supposed to keep my teeth from rotting (at least temporarily). That may have been the single most important thing that I did this morning to ensure ...

Each and every single day people come across pictorial advertisements that endeavor to influence one’s opinions and activities in definite ways. Whether the purpose is to obtain a product or back a cause, many various corporations and organizations continuously solicit for the public’s consideration, and they recognize that the finest method of attaining it is through capturing advertising. However, in a culture surrounded by commercial advertisement, businesses have to be resourceful to stand out and stay ahead of the competition (Tag 120). Some creators use the suspense dynamic to create an impression to their audience, whereas others ...

GENERAL INFORMATION ON DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT

Objective of dental implants After losing teeth, the supporting bone segment is no longer essential and begins to gradually disappear (Misch, 2008). Once this begins, the missing portions can be replaced with removable dentures or fixed bridges; this process enhances visual appeal, corrects speech impediments and improves mastication. However, complications can occur when replacing living tissues with artificial apparatuses. Dentures have been shown to decrease the efficiency of the chewing process, initiate additional bone loss and often experience inadequate retention (Knowles, 1958). Furthermore, dentures may require additional support, which affects the healthy teeth that are ...

Introduction

Dental implants are increasingly becoming popular because a large section of clinicians believe that natural tooth restoration techniques are inferior to dental implants as implants have a longer life than natural tooth and are less susceptible to biological changes. There are various types of dental implants that support crown, bridges, and dentures, and act as orthodontic anchors and facial prosthesis. The basis of the modern dental implant is a biological process in which titanium forms a bond with bone. Dental fixture is first implanted and then a prosthetic is added. Over the years, various implant impression techniques, such as ...

The image under discussion is an advertisement of Orbit chewing gum. The photograph is used to advertise the chewing gum in a glossy magazine, and it is possible to presume that it addresses both male and female demographic. The photo includes both an image of a handsome young man and a catchy text to accompany it. The advertisement displays a young man, handsome, confident and even provocative, with classy hairstyle and perfectly-fitting suit. It is a close-up; therefore a viewer can see only the face and shoulders of the model. The focus is on the man’s face; his ...

The personal care product that I rely on and that perhaps holds special meaning for me is Colgate brand of toothpaste. The reason for picking this brand is that I have used this product since my parents who had used the toothpaste for a long time introduced me to this brand and I have used it for all my life. In fact, prior to this assignment, I had not considered my brand loyalty to the Colgate toothpaste and even their toothbrushes. Considering that I brush my teeth daily, it is a fair assessment that I purchase the product regularly ...

Ventilator-associated pneumonia

Abstract The intensive care unit in most hospitals plays the role of providing care to patients dealing with life-threatening conditions. The technological and other set ups in these hospital units are vital in ensuring that these patients continue to receive the best regarding care while with the intentions of having them emerge with desirable outcomes. There are however challenges relating to the care that these patients receive since, in most cases, they are usually under mechanical ventilation. A patient under this condition faces the risk of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia if the ventilators are not handled with the required care. ...

Primates are an order of mammals and while they share characteristics with other mammals, they also have their own identifiers that set them apart. For example, since primates rely more on their vision than their sense of smell, they have shortened snouts (Orzech. “Primate Features”). The fact that they rely so heavily on their sight makes perfect sense when considering that they have forward facing eye orbits which gives them the best position for taking in the most amount of visual stimuli (Orzech, “Primate Features”). Primates also have less teeth than other mammals, they do, however, have specific types ...

Describe which general fossil primate groups appear and radiate during the following geological epochs: Eocene, Miocene, Pliocene, Pleistocene. For each of the geological epochs, identify the general primate group that first appears and radiates during that epoch. In addition, give the time range in millions of years for each epoch and provide at least one example of a specific primate genus and/ or species that is representative of each general primate group. 2. List and briefly describe at least five elements of the post-cranial anatomy found in humans, but not in apes, that facilitate efficient bipedal locomotion. Provide specific ...

Implementation of the VAP project is a significant step aimed at ensuring that the objectives of giving patients outmost care, improvement of nursing practices and achieving desirable patient’s outcomes on the mechanically ventilated patients in the critical care unit are realized.

Teeth are considered to be among the hardest substances in the human body, its’ essential function is to aid the process of food digestion. Through chewing, teeth break down food materials in the mouth to smaller substances that can be swallowed for further digestion and absorption in the stomach. Besides being vital in digestion, teeth also play a significant role in providing structural support to the facial muscles that are responsible for different facial expressions such as smile and frown. Teeth are also an important component in speech, functioning together with the tongue and lips. The human tooth is ...

The violence has become an internal part of our social life nowadays. We see it everywhere: we read about it, watch the news and our favorite series. The problem, however, is not in this, but in how we perceive such type of behavior. The scenes of murders, mockery, attacks and all the sorts of assaults we consume as an already usual thing. It always seems that these stories are so far away from you, on the other side of the screen, in written plots of producers and newsmakers. You feel so safe, sitting on your old brown sofa in ...

Question 1: Describe the basis of the principle of superposition as well as why we cannot date a 1 million year old hominid with radiocarbon dating. According to Hull (191), the principle of superposition states that for any layers or sequence of surface-deposited material, a bed is older than the one above it and younger than the one below it. However, this is not always the case since rocks and beds can buckle causing younger rocks to go underneath older bed. Therefore, the principle should be applied critically. Basically, the principle states that younger rockers lie on older rocks ( ...

Introduction

In most communities, family apartments were private spaces that offered a place of refuge and intimacy. Public spaces such as city squares were ideal for business dealings in addition to offices (Knowles, 2011, p. 130). This arrangement has since changed in the advent of information communication technology. Raymond Guess argues that the conception of privacy in modern times is where the identity of self-first has crumbled down (So-il.org, 2016). He goes further to observe that the community presently has the duty to promote and defend the security of individuals. Classic liberals are of the opinion that the basic right ...

Life today is not as difficult as it used to be during the earlier times. During those times when technology was not yet fully developed, people spend too much time in doing their activities. Not only time was extensively spent but also energy. Sometimes, this resulted to problems due to human errors. To perform the activities effectively and efficiently, development of technology is conducted. Development and research activities have led to various technologies today. Thanks to technology and the continuous development, human activities are done easier. This purpose of technology has made people to have great dependence with it ...

The importance of primates for evolutionary theory can hardly be overstated. The applications of the traits – the foundation of the distinction between primates and other organisms – are widespread and profound in anthropology as well as basic biology. Primates are a diverse class of organisms that share a suite of derived traits (characteristics primates inherited from their common primate ancestor) that separates them from other organisms (Ryan). For instance, primates share several inherited primeval traits with other animals from a distant mammalian common ancestor such as having body hair (fur) and being warm-blooded and even more distant terrestrial vertebrate predecessors ...

Introduction

The world we live in today has not always been what it is but has been built to what it is today. While little is known of the Western world, specifically the Americas before explorers such as Christopher Columbus discovered it, there exists rich literature of ancient civilizations that have shaped all spheres of modern life. The most recognized civilizations include the Egyptian civilization, the Roman Empire, and the Greek civilization. The fall of one civilization led to the rise of another civilization and so forth. The earliest recorded civilization, however, is the Egyptian civilization and scholars have credited ...

Introduction

Tooth development involves a complex process whereby teeth are formed from embryonic cells, and then eventually mature after erupting as evident in the mouth (Eckhardt, Jágr, Pataridis, & Mikšík, 2014). The development usually originates from mesoderm and ectoderm. At the ectoderm found in the oral cavity, there is the development of enamel and other tissues also come from associated mesenchyme. All teeth don’t develop at the same time, but rather in stages (Eckhardt, Jágr, Pataridis, & Mikšík, 2014). First buds are always observed in the region of anterior mandible, followed by anterior maxillary area then finally ...

Introduction

There are a number of ways by which the media forms communicate with their audience and tend to convey the underlying themes and ideas using them. Specifically, in the case of films, the use of visual content, sound, construction of a shot and it’s editing, performance, recording, etc. It is obvious that an effective use of visuals aided by supporting multimedia always results in a deeper impact on the audience as the visual has a deeper response generation from the brain. This concept, when strategically used in the making of films results in tremendous changes in terms of ...

Orange was one of the fruits found at the market. They are produced in Florida and California. Apart from the conventional oranges, there were organic oranges. The prices were different. The organic type was more expensive, simply because they were chemical free. They are grown using organic manures. Pests and diseases were controlled using purely biological means. Organic oranges have green and white USDA organic sticker to distinguish them from conventional oranges (Laroche, Bergeron, & Barbaro-Forleo, 2001). Purex is one of the commonly used laundry detergents in United States of America. This is an inorganic detergent characterized by its pretty ...

An analysis of how the criminalist in Ted’s case handled the evidence and whether it was positively or negatively involved in the outcome of the case Voelker & RDH (2012) proclaims that the investigators obliged that Bundy to offer a dental impression to aid in the investigation but Bundy refused. After sometimes, the criminalists were granted a search warrant to get the impression in any possible tactic.

Voelker & RDH (2012) addresses that the ...

What is the case statement? What decisions does P & G need to make?

The Procter and Gamble Company has to revise its advert if it is to make a positive impact in the market. The proposed ‘Mumbles’ advert is comparative and implies negative notions on the use of Colgate and Palmolive’s ‘Simply White’ product. This form of advertising, is also involuntarily shifting the viewers’ attention to the rivalry between the two companies: when the objective, and this is an educative guess, is to show the brand’s prowess over the rival’s brand. P&G, therefore, needs to revise its advertisement approach towards a more positive and more product oriented approach. P&G ...

The primary objectives of my field experience include enhancing of practical knowledge and awareness in the field of private pediatric dental care in Jeddah, to aid the parents in interpretation of dental care knowledge and to offer dental services for low income individuals. I noticed while working in the private clinic that there was a great need for education in the area. Despite the fact that parents had a lot of questions about oral health; the dentist did not have enough time to educate the patients and answer all of the questions. Furthermore, some patients might have the knowledge, ...

Introduction

A fossil is any substance that evidences a once-living organism (University of Arizona, 2016). As such, fossils evidence the ancient life forms which inhabited the earth long time ago and were preserved by a natural process. Most of the fossils are found in sedimentary rocks formed from the sediments of rivers, seas, and lakes. Some of these fossils are actual remains of living things such as bones, or events that happened in the past, for instance, the dinosaur footprints. However, it is ordinarily the hard parts of organisms that get preserved under the right conditions and the interaction of ...

The ultimate goal of every medical practitioner is to provide the most efficient services to the patients. It happens to dentists who look forward to giving satisfactory and durable restorations. For a fruitful repair, Monolithic Zirconia crowns are used. A Zirconia crown is a type of ceramic crown that is worn to give a better appearance of the tooth that has been disfigured or stained for quite some time. The crown is made from a durable material that cannot be rejected by the human body (Stober et al., 2014). Zirconia crown is also used for other medical purposes such ...

At 4:00am, my alarm clock begins to go off. Still exhausted from the night before, I begin to rise out of bed. In the middle of winter, it’s dark outside. The house is freezing. I take a deep breath and get out of bed to begin my day. As a single mother raising three children, I work two jobs just to make ends meet. I am due to report to my first job, at the local hotel, at 6:00am sharp. It’s minimum wage and physically grueling work, but it’s a job that puts food on the ...

Energy drinks contain high levels of sugar and little nutritional value just like soft drinks. For instance, every 250 ml can of Red Bull drink comprises of approximately five teaspoons of sugar. The most significant difference that exists between energy drinks and soft drinks is the substantial amount of doses of caffeine contained in energy drinks. Every 500 ml of every energy drink has approximatively 160-300mg of caffeine. This is too high because a cup of tea contains 20-60mg of caffeine while a cup of coffee contains 40-80mg of caffeine. A tablet of No-Dose contains 100mg of caffeine and ...

Option 1: Living a Day of Nonconformity

One of the essential aspects of humans is that we are societal beings. However, in order to fit in and belong to a society, there are certain rules that one must handle in one way or another, mainly obeying. Nevertheless, an interesting practice invites people to shed these masks for twenty-four hours in order to let their true, authentic self come out. After going through with this exercise, I saw that it was interesting, yet it did not leave any grand, significant life lessons, as I thought it would. Basically, I did many things that I usually do not ...

(Tutor’s Name) (Assignment)

Introduction The development of science and technology over the last several decades has made crime investigation easier. Agencies like FBI today can identify the true assailant more authentically and quickly with the help of forensic science. It appears that explosive advancements in the area of forensic science have totally changed the way crime investigators approach case enquiry. Prior to the broader development of forensic science, investigation officers were forced to rely increasingly on situational evidences and physical torture to prove the involvement of a suspect in crime. Under such circumstances, fundamental human rights were often ...

Question 1

Cultural leveling describes how people from different cultures approach each other and try to reach common grounds regarding communication and interaction. This process is evident in Lee’s ethnographic fieldwork. Coming from white society, the researcher exhibited arrogance and considered himself superior, both intellectually and culturally, to the !Kung bushmen. He did this by extending to or cutting off the supply of tobacco from the Bushmen since he was the only source of the commodity in 1000 square miles (Lee). Besides, he neither shared his food with the Bushmen nor participated in their food-gathering activities. For this reason, the ...

Introduction

Wind energy has been in use as far back as 3000 B.C., when sailors in Egypt utilized this energy to move their boats. Today, wind energy is hailed as an important source of energy and is tapped in various regions around the world. Its importance stems from two factors: (1) it is renewable and (2) it is a clean source of energy that does not generate environmentally harmful emissions. To harness wind energy, a wind turbine is used. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of the wind into rotary mechanical energy, which can then be converted to electrical energy (“Wind turbine,” ...

In all three versions of the hominid family tree, there are a number of similarities. Each tree must have an evolutionary origin and purpose and whilst the origin does seem to differ from tree to tree, the purpose seems to maintain a constant: Homo Sapiens are always the end point on each tree. Presumably, this is because our species has evolved this far to date and appears to have stayed still for about 200,000 years (Human Origins) whereas another site states 175,000 years (Becoming Human), and another states 100,000 years (PBS). This dispute is commonplace as we are ...

Health issues

Nearly all the body parts are affected by smoking. Starting from the head all the way down, smoking affects the functioning of these body organs. To begin with, as a person smokes, the smoke passes through the mouth to the other parts of the respiratory system. The mouth is therefore the first organ to be exposed to risk of infection. Cancer of the mouth is one of the most common types of diseases affecting smoking individuals (Anderson 15). This is because the chemicals contained in cigarettes causes the antibodies on the surfaces of the mouth to die. This thus leaves ...

The Bali people believe in the existence of a goddess called Dewi Sri to whom they tirelessly give offerings in bamboo shrines. They believe that this deity had existed even before the Hindu traders brought Hinduism to Bali in the 7th century. This is a clear indication that most of the Balinese are Hindus even though there are other unorthodox religions such as Buddhism and Confucianism. According to Grunert, 93 % of the Balinese are officially Hindus. It is essential to note that the Balinese believe in the widespread of other spirits all over, inhabiting landmarks like rivers and large rocks ...

A country without a focused young generation has got a dark future. The youth plays an important role in the development of a society. The indicators of a possible prosperous state are measured, using the present young population. They are quite often associated with creativity, innovation, high work rates and a burning desire to achieve big personal and career targets. They mature into adulthood, to become role models to the young. Besides that, they also engage in many, social functions like partying with friends. It’s during such functions that, most of them would want to practice, what they see on screen and friends. ...
