In our Lab Report Assignment, you will consider how different systems may interact and cause changes in an organism’s physiology. While these reports will be based on hypothetical experiments of your own creation, accurate physiological principles and scientific ethics must be adhered to.Consider the different physiological concepts we cover each week in the course. Select two basic physiological concepts from two separate weeks that interest you!1. Design an experiment/set of experiments that you could conduct to further explore how these physiological concepts interact with each other. Simple, straight forward experiments usually yield straight forward figures and hypothesizes… which is what you want!2. Communicate what your hypothesized outcomes are (as long as your thinking has solid physiological principles and references behind it, there’s no wrong answer).Each scientific journal uses a slightly different formatting style, but most share a few common characteristics, which include an: 1. Introduction, 2. Materials and Methods, 3. Results and Discussion, and 4. References.-At least two scientific references (ie. two scientific articles in journals; textbooks and encyclopedias may be used, but do not count as scientific references for this assignment) should be cited in your lab reports. —Two figures are expected for this assignment (refer to the lab report instructi

Which of the following patients does a nurse determine as most at risk for neurogenic shock?Person with spinal cord injury at T2Person with systemic E.coli infectionPerson stabbed in the legPerson with severe allergies3. A nurse comments that a patient is displaying an overwhelming immune response to trauma. Which acronym would apply to the nurse’s statement?APACHEMODSCARSSIRS. A patient presents with anaphylactic shock. Which of the following has likely occurred?Internal bleedingDisruption of the sympathetic nervous systemFailing heart rate and blood pressureMassive bronchoconstriction5. All of the following are criteria for SIRS EXCEPTLeukocytosisHypothermiaHypoventilationFeverElevated heart rate6. A nursing student is reviewing the “gut theory” in relation to the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). What is the correct sequence for the following events?1. Gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal ischemia2. Increased permeability of GI wall3. Massive immune response to GI bacteria4. Decreased perfusion of GI tract5. GI bacteria enter bloodstream

The Role of Diversity in Public Health WorkFor this discussion, analyze how your proposed project acknowledges the value of diversity in your attempt to address or solve a public health problem. Consider the information shared from the What Is Diversity? multimedia piece from this unit’s study and discuss the possible cultural difficulties in this project. How do you anticipate overcoming those difficulties?

Describe the evolutionary advantages to sexual reproduction.

1. A computerized tomography (CT) scan shows the presence of a malignant tumor in a client. The health-care provider tells the nurse the tumor is of type grade III. Which appearance of the tumor does the nurse anticipate in the CT scan?a. Moderately differentiatedb. Poorly differentiatedc. Well differentiatedd. Unable to be determined2. Mr. Gillespie was diagnosed with stage I colon cancer that was treated successfully with surgery and chemotherapy. Mr. Gillespie says, “I got so tired during the chemo. My doctor said I was anemic. Did the chemo kill off my red blood cells too?”a. chemotherapy inhibits the appetite and poor nutrition led to the death of the red blood cellsb. chemotherapy enhances the production of white blood cells at the expense of red blood cellsc. red blood cells are very similar to cancer cells and killed off by chemotherapyd. chemotherapy inhibits bone marrow production of new red blood cells3. All of the following can contribute to the development of cancer EXCEPTa. free radicalsb. hereditary genetic mutationsc. bacterial infectionsd. viral infections4.
