Mrs. Debbie Morgan is a 45-year-old female who works as a stocking clerk for a local home improvement store. While she was at work today a large box of metal rivets fell from a 20-ft.-high overhead shelf, striking her outstretched arm and knocking her to the ground. The ambulance personnel reported that she had lost quite a bit of blood at the accident scene and was "knocked out" when they arrived. To minimize further hemorrhage, the paramedics applied a pressure bandage to her arm.

You meet the paramedics as they bring Mrs. Morgan into the emergency room and begin to assess her for injuries. She is awake and alert, but complaining of severe left arm and back pain, plus she has a "killer headache." To fully examine her injuries you remove four blood-soaked bandages from her arm. You notice a large open wound on her arm with what appears to be bone tissue sticking out of the skin She also has bruises covering her left shoulder, left wrist, and lower back. To determine the extent of her injuries Mrs. Morgan undergoes several x-rays, which reveal the following: 1) fracture of the left humerus at the proximal diaphysis 2) depressed fracture of the occipital bone, 3) fracture of the 3rd lumbar vertebral body.

Define the following terms, used in the case and also in associated questions.

a. hemorrhage
b. fracture
c. proximal
d. diaphysis

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Find the definitions below.

Explanation:

1. Hemorrhage is known in lay terms as bleeding. It is the flow or loss of blood that is caused because a blood vessel was ruptured.

2. Fracture is the breakage of a bone. It could be minor or severe when the bone is completely broken. When something with a great force hits the bone, it can result in a fracture.

3. Proximal is something that is close to a central point or the point where two or more bones (in this case) are attached.

4. Diaphysis is the main area of a long bone. It encompasses the mid and central regions. The two main ends (proximal and distal) do not belong to the diaphysis.

Lost in the Desert!
This case study was about a 35 year old man who suffered from a heat stroke because he was lost in a desert on a 105° F day. The man was delirious, weak, nauseous, and had a very high body temperature. He also suffered from first degree burns on his face and back. This case study relates to homeostasis because his body went back to homeostasis eventually after he was rehydrated and recovered in the hospital.

Case Study Questions:
1. Define the terms in the case study highlighted in boldface.
heat stroke - A condition marked by fever and often by unconsciousness, caused by failure of the body's temperature-regulating mechanism when exposed to excessively high temperatures.
first degree burns - Burns that affect only the outer layer of the skin. They cause pain, redness, and swelling.
electrolytes - A liquid or gel that contains ions and can be decomposed by electrolysis.
glucose - A simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.
melanin - A dark brown to black pigment occurring in the hair, skin, and iris of the eye in people and animals. It is responsible for tanning of skin exposed to sunlight.
2. Assuming that Mark lost around 4 liters of water, what percentage of his body water did he lose? Would you expect his urinary volume to decrease or increase during his trek? Please explain
your answer.
Mark lost around 10% of his body water. His urinary volume would decrease because his body is trying to retain water, although he is already dehydrated.
3.Why was Mark’s blood pressure so low? Would his pulse rate decrease or increase? Please explain. Why was Mark dizzy and disoriented?
His blood pressure was low because he was dehydrated. His pulse would increase because his body is trying harder to remain cool. He was dizzy and disoriented because his blood pressure was very low.
4. Assume that Mark had an unopened six-pack of beer in his car. Would it have been a good idea for Mark to bring the beer along in case he got thirsty? Why or why not?
It wouldn't have been a good idea because the beer would have made him urinate more, which would make him lose even more of his body's water.
5. What vitamin would Mark have in greater amounts in his body after that day?
Vitamin D because he was exposed more to sunlight.
6. What did Mark do that increased his chance of burns?
He took off his shirt and hat, so his skin was exposed to sunlight.
7. Why would Mark’s skin have looked red within the first few hours of his adventure rather than edness developing hours and days later as a result of “sunburn?"
His body would have responded by increasing his blood flow to start the healing process.

To get the best results when working out, it is a good idea to evaluate your starting point and track your progress from there. What are some basic assessments and measurements that you can take to get started on your fitness routine? These can include exercises as well as body measurements.

Answers

Answer:

1. run a mile and record your initial finish time (repeat this 1x every week and record it so you can track your progress over time)

2. do the sit and reach test and record for initial stretch ability (repeat this 1x every month so you can track your progress over time)

3. do as many sit-ups as possible within 60 seconds. record the number  (repeat this 1x every month ans record it so you can track your progress over time)

you could add to this, but hopefully it gives you a general idea. The goal is to test all fitness groups before making a fitness routine so you can determine what level of intensity you will start at. This will also help with tracking progress

1 . he bones of the inner ear are commonly known as the hammer, anvil, and stirrup. The anatomically correct terms for the three bones of the inner ear are

ossicles, eardrum, and oval window
oval window, auditory canal, and ossicles
malleus, incus, and stapes
stapes, cochlea, and oval window
incus, stapes, and cochlea

Answers

Hammer anvil and stirrup is really malleus Incus and staples

Malleus, incus, and stapes are the anatomically correct terms for the bones of the inner ear.

What is the structure of the ear?

The human ear is an equilibrium and hearing organ that converts sound waves into electrochemical impulses for the purpose of detecting and analyzing sound while also maintaining equilibrium.

Similar to other mammals, humans have sensory organs in their ears that perform two very distinct tasks: hearing and maintaining balance and coordination of head and eye movements. The outer, middle, and inner ear are the three distinct anatomical components of the ear. The auricle, also known as the pinna, protrudes from the side of the head, and the short external auditory canal—whose inner end is closed by the tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum—makes up the outer ear.

The outer ear's job is to gather sound waves and direct them toward the tympanic membrane. A small, air-filled hollow in the temporal bone houses the middle ear. The auditory ossicles, also known as the malleus, incus, and stapes, are a chain of three tiny bones that cross them.

Therefore the correct option is C.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a first aid technique for individuals in cardiac arrest that involves __________.
A.
a defibrillator and rescue breathing
B.
rescue breathing and chest compressions
C.
a defibrillator and chest compressions
D.
chest compressions and adrenaline injections

Answers

Answer:

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation involves rescue breathing and chest compression (option B).

Explanation:

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a procedure used in cases of cardiorespiratory dysfunction or arrest, so it is necessary to ensure proper breathing and cardiovascular function.

There are two levels of CPR:

Basic CPR involves rescue breathing and chest compressions. It is a first aid technique that can be used until the patient can be taken to a hospital.Advanced CPR employs the use of drugs and instruments, such as a defibrillator monitor. This procedure is performed by qualified personnel, in mobile units or in hospital emergency rooms.

First aid in case of cardiac arrest depends on both respiratory resuscitation —rescue breathing— and chest compression.

    The other options are not valid, because they all involve advanced CPR techniques and not first aid, and the options a defibrillator and chest compressions (C) and defibrillator and chest compressions (D) leave out breathing rescue.
