craniotomy A craniotomy is a surgical incision into the cranium to remove the brain tumors; it is mostly performed emergent neurosurgical procedures. The procedure presents a safety challenge of removing the tumor without damaging the normal brain tissues. Besides, there are possible postop complications that can lead to neurological deficits. Therefore, it is significant for a nurse in the neurology unit to be familiar with post craniotomy complications in patients to avoid delay in life-saving treatment (Chughtai, Nemer, Kessler & Bhatt, 2019). Some of the most encountered post-craniotomy complications include increased intracranial pressure (ICP), hematomas, hypovolemic shock, hydrocephalus, respiratory complications, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. In addition, late complications can occur, and they include meningitis, wound infection, fluid and electrolyte imbalance, seizure, cerebral edema, and cerebrospinal fluid leak (Ignatavicius, Workman, Rebar & Heimgartner, 2018). For post-craniotomy safe care, the nurse should monitor health vitals such as temperature, blood pressure, osmolarity, serum electrolyte levels, blood oxygen levels, weight change, fluid balance (Ignatavicius, Workman, Rebar & Heimgartner, 2018). Additionally, patient assessment for weaknesses wound site color, and history of hemorrhage risk factors such as…
Research-based practice In obstetric practice, errors may occur due to the unpredictability associated with pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Obstetric nursing is a high-risk responsibility that requires core competence. Due to advancements and application of technology in healthcare, nurses can invest more in evidence-based practice to improve birth outcomes and avoid litigation. For instance, in the previous years, it was standard procedure for nurses to wait for one to five minutes before cord clamping since this delay was beneficial to the baby. However, current health practices advocate for immediate cord clamping, 10 to 15 seconds after delivery to keep the mother from losing too much blood. In this case, nurses may be in a dilemma on the best strategy to use such that the mother is safe and the baby benefits in the process. Research-based practice requires the nurse to apply knowledge and access all current scientific resources on the issue. However, accessing electronic information requires narrowing down the search to save on time and to obtain the best results (Russell-Rose & Chamberlain, 2017). For the nurse to get information on…
Perking man I have had a great interest in learning and understanding about Peking man fossil. The Peking man hominin belongs to the species Homo erectus and the genus Homo. Zhoukoudian, a town near Beijing, was where Davidson Black first found the fossils in 1927. Due to the similarities between the fossil’s features with those of human beings, Davidson initially thought that the fossil was a member of the human being’s lineage (Rukang, & Shenglong, 1983). The fossil had a single tooth, but other features were later discovered, which helped classify it better. Such features included facial and limb bones, skullcaps, and mandibles, as well as teeth, helped change its classification from Sinanthropus and Pithecanthropus to Homo erectus. More so, the Perking man has been characterized to be on an approximate average of over 1000 cubic by the cranial capacity. It has a 1300 cc brain capacity, which is almost that of modern humans. Other fossil features include a powerful jaw muscle attachment, skull flat in profile, and a small forehead with a keel within the top of the head…
Reading Reflection Liberation through Consciousness-Raising This chapter focuses on the use of consciousness-raising as a form of liberation techniques. Consciousness-raising is a form of group-therapy technique that aims to enhance the participants’ awareness of their specific needs and as a group or as individuals. Thus, according to Hart, conscious raising includes the experience of personal and social transformation, which pulsate with the pain and joy of subversive power. Conscious raising began as a form of activism around the late 1960s and became popularized by the US feminists. Hart terms it as a tool for transformative learning since it is derived from the experience of oppression. According to Hart, the methods and procedures of conscious raising are governed by two principles, which also determine its content. First, concrete, lived experiences, and second, the shared and discussed experiences. Hart put for the several principles that need to guide consciousness-raising, especially when used in educational practice. The first point is acknowledging the oppression since it requires working with a representative of a marginalized or oppressed group. Conscious raising functions as a way of…
