neurodevelopmental condition that affects individuals in varying ways. It can
impact a person's social, communication, and behavioral skills. Understanding
this disorder is critical in supporting individuals with autism and creating a
more inclusive society.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">In this blog, we will discuss what autism spectrum disorder
is, its signs and symptoms, its causes, and its treatment. We will also provide
tips for individuals with ASD and their loved ones.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a group of developmental
disorders that affect communication, social interaction, and behavior. The
symptoms of ASD can range from mild to severe, and individuals with the
disorder may have a wide range of abilities and challenges. ASD is a lifelong condition,
and there is no known cure.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Signs and Symptoms</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The signs and symptoms of autism spectrum disorder can vary
widely from person to person. However, some common symptoms include:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Difficulty
with communication, such as delayed speech or language skills, difficulty
understanding nonverbal cues, or difficulty initiating or maintaining a
conversation.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Difficulty
with social interaction, such as difficulty making friends, difficulty
understanding social cues, or a lack of interest in social interaction.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Repetitive
behaviors or routines, such as rocking, spinning, or hand flapping, or a
strong attachment to specific objects or routines.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Sensory
sensitivities, such as being sensitive to certain sounds, textures, or
tastes, or becoming overwhelmed in busy or noisy environments.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Causes</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The causes of autism spectrum disorder are not fully
understood, but research suggests that a combination of genetic and
environmental factors may contribute to the development of the disorder. Some
studies have identified certain genes that may be associated with ASD, while
others have found that environmental factors, such as exposure to toxins or
infections during pregnancy, may increase the risk of developing the disorder.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Treatment</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">There is no cure for autism spectrum disorder, but early
intervention and treatment can help individuals with the disorder to develop
important skills and improve their quality of life. Some common treatments for
ASD include:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Applied
Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy: This is a type of therapy that focuses on
teaching positive behaviors and reducing negative behaviors through
positive reinforcement.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Speech
therapy: This is a type of therapy that focuses on improving communication
skills, such as language development and social communication.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Occupational
therapy: This is a type of therapy that focuses on developing fine motor
skills, sensory integration, and daily living skills.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Medication:
There are some medications that can help with specific symptoms of autism,
such as anxiety or irritability.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Tips for Individuals with ASD and Their Loved Ones</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Living with autism spectrum disorder can be challenging, but
there are things that individuals with ASD and their loved ones can do to make
life easier. Here are some tips:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Seek
early intervention: Early diagnosis and intervention can help individuals
with ASD develop important skills and improve their quality of life.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Create
a routine: A predictable routine can help individuals with ASD feel more
comfortable and reduce anxiety.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Practice
social skills: Social skills can be challenging for individuals with ASD,
but practicing social interactions can help improve communication and
socialization.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Seek
support: There are many resources available for individuals with ASD and their
loved ones, such as support groups, therapy, and educational programs.<o:p></o:p></li>

In this blog, we will cover the different types of SLDs, their causes, symptoms, and how to get help for those who have them.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: #f7f7f8; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;">Types of Specific Learning Disorders:</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: #f7f7f8; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are several types of SLDs, including:</p><ol style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: #f7f7f8; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; counter-reset: item 0; display: flex; flex-direction: column; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 1.25em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Dyslexia: This affects an individual's ability to read, spell, and write.

The foods to eat or avoid should depend on test results within, above, or below the normal range.

One can also be low in sodium without knowing it, so he may be avoiding sodium instead of taking more of it.

The PSYCH MAP explains a lot of concepts needed in the study of Psychiatric Nursing. I hope that this will help you in your study.<br />
<br />
First, you have to right click on the picture above and save it in your computer.</div>
<div align="justify">
Open and print the picture in landscape format.<br />
Place the picture above your bed, beside your study table, in front of your bowl and study it during your BMs, in front of the mirror, above the ceiling and in every place you can think of. Memorize it and Enjoy!</div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
<span id="fullpost">The center or the word NORMAL represents a state in which there is an equilibrium or the absence of any problem. If you encounter problems or stressors, you will become ANXIOUS and your Sympathetic Nervous System SNS will be activated. Epinephrine and norepinephrine will be released. In severe cases, medications are given. The main purpose of the medication given for anxiety is to decrease the action of the SNS. GABA decreases your SNS and further to your left, you will see a list of medications used to decrease anxiety (VLASTMEVAIB). Zepam, zepine and zolam are the common ending letters of these anxiolytic medications. It will take 3 to 4 weeks until these drugs take effect. While taking these drugs, you should watch out for anticholinergic effects such as constipation and urinary retention. It is important to remember that there are safety precautions when taking these drugs. You should not drive because these drugs can make you drowsy, it also means that you should not engage yourself in an activity which requires alertness (ex. driving, operating a machine). You may also experience orthostatic hypotension. You should not drink alcohol because it is a depressant and this will potentiate the effect of the drug. On the other hand, you are also not allowed to drink coffee. It is a stimulant that counteracts the effect of your anxiolytic drugs, and besides, you are taking medications to decrease the stimulants causing your anxiety. Anxiolytic drugs or anti-anxiety drugs may lead to dependence. Withdrawal from these drugs are done gradually to prevent seizures. </span></div>

There are lots of theories explaining the cause of SCHIZOPHRENIA. One theory states that there is an increase in the neurotransmitter DOPAMINE. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter responsible for cognition and regulation of emotional responses, it is generally a stimulant. Different kinds of drugs are given to a schizophrenic patient (SSTTCHAMPZR), these drugs are called Neuroleptics or Antipsychotics. The main action of these drugs is to decrease Dopamine or its effects. Ldol and azine are the common ending letters of these drugs. Side effects of these drugs include, agranulocytosis (which has an early symptom of sore throat) and photosensitivity (use wide brimmed hat). When Dopamine is severely decreased during the use of neuroleptic drugs, ACETYLCHOLINE – DOPAMINE balance is affected, when this happens, Pseudoparkinsonism and EPSE will manifest (NMS fatal). In order to bring equilibrium, two types of drugs are given, the ANTICHOLINERGIC drugs (AABC) which decreases Acetylcholine and the DOPAMINERGIC drugs (PLES) which increases the Dopamine. To remember the two types of drugs you must remember the word CAPABLES. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
<br />
When norepinephine is increased, there is a distinct period during which, a mood of a person is constantly elated or persistently high, we consider this to be a manic episode or MANIA. When this happens, we place the person to be at risk for injury because of impulsive actions. The patient is also monitored for nutritional imbalance due to loss of attention and focus on his own basic needs. Lithium is the drug of choice for mania. A narrow level of 0.6 to 1.2 meq/L must be maintained. Toxicity is manifested by gastro intestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea (VANDA). To avoid this, give liberal amount of fluid intake (3L/day). This is also the reason why we don’t combine this drug with a Diuretic. Diamox (a drug also used for Vertigo) is the antidote for lithium toxicity. Avoid strenuous activities which may lead to cardiac collapse. Monitor the kidney function because this drug is nephrotoxic. It takes 2-4 weeks before you see the effects of this drug.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
Serotonin makes us happy. MAO is a substance which decreases the amount of serotonin present in our body. If serotonin level falls, depression takes place. Depression is a state in which a person’s mood is persistently low. There are different types of medications given to people who are depressed. First, the SSRI, this medication aims to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin in our body which means that the usual serotonin will be made available in the synapses for a longer period of time. Second is the TCA, this drug works just like the SSRI except that it has a different target neurotransmitter which is the norepinephrine. Third is the MAOI, a MAOI inhibits the action of a MAO therefore it inhibits the breakdown of neurotransmitters. It is important to remember that the effects of these drugs will take place after a week of continuous medication, as in the case of MAOI, it can take up to 6 weeks. At these times, we should monitor the patient for possible suicide because when a patient is lifted from depression, he will have the power to execute the suicidal ideations that is in his mind. Hypertensive Crisis (severe increase in blood pressure which may cause organ damage or stroke ) is the adverse effect of MAOI, this happens when the drug is combined with tyramin rich food. Pentolamine is given during hypertensive episodes. During the use of antidepressants, you should monitor for any increase in the intraocular pressure which is an indication of developing glaucoma. Male sexual function may also be affected.<br />
An ECT may be used while waiting for the therapeutic effects of the antidepressants or if the patient is not responding to medications. Prior to ECT, short-acting sedatives are given so the client may sleep (Barbiturates) and a muscle relaxant (Succinylcholine) so that there would be a less chance of injury due to the rigid effects of seizure contractions. Best position after ECT is side lying. Check the vital signs, orient the patient and reassure that memory loss is only temporary. Before giving oral intake, it is important to check the gag reflex to prevent aspiration. Pregnancy is not a contraindication to ECT.</div>

<br /><div>Drug administration is a crucial aspect of healthcare. As a
healthcare provider, it is important to understand the ten rights of drug
administration to ensure the safety and efficacy of the medication being
administered to a patient. In this blog post, we will discuss these ten rights
and how they can be implemented in practice to ensure the best possible patient
outcomes.</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Right
Patient</b><o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first right of drug administration is to ensure that the
medication is given to the right patient. This means verifying the patient’s
identity before administering the medication. This can be done by asking the
patient to state their name and date of birth, or by checking their hospital
identification bracelet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="2" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Right
Medication</b><o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second right is to ensure that the medication being
administered is the right medication for the patient’s condition. This can be
done by checking the medication order against the medication label and
verifying the drug name, dose, and route of administration.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="3" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Right
Dose</b><o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">The third right is to ensure that the patient receives the
right dose of medication. This can be done by checking the medication order and
calculating the appropriate dose based on the patient’s weight and age.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="4" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Right
Route</b><o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">The fourth right is to ensure that the medication is given
by the right route. This can be done by checking the medication order and
verifying whether the medication should be given orally, intravenously,
intramuscularly, or through another route.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="5" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Right
Time</b><o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">The fifth right is to ensure that the medication is given at
the right time. This can be done by checking the medication order and
administering the medication at the appropriate time based on the patient’s
schedule and the medication’s half-life.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="6" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Right Drug and Documentation</b><o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">The sixth right is to ensure that the medication
administration is properly documented. This can be done by recording the
medication name, dose, route, time, and any adverse reactions in the patient’s
medical record.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="7" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Right
Reason</b><o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">The seventh right is to ensure that the medication is given
for the right reason. This can be done by verifying the medication order and
ensuring that the medication is appropriate for the patient’s condition.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="8" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Right
Response</b><o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">The eighth right is to ensure that the patient responds appropriately
to the medication. This can be done by monitoring the patient’s vital signs and
assessing for any adverse reactions or drug interactions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="9" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Right
to Refuse</b><o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ninth right is to ensure that the patient has the right
to refuse the medication. This can be done by informing the patient about the
medication’s purpose, benefits, and potential risks and giving the patient the
opportunity to ask questions and express any concerns.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="10" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Right
Education</b><o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">The tenth right is to ensure that the patient receives
proper education about the medication. This can be done by providing the
patient with information about the medication’s purpose, dosage, side effects,
and instructions for use.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In conclusion, the ten rights of drug administration are
crucial for ensuring the safety and efficacy of medication in healthcare
settings. By implementing these rights, healthcare providers can prevent
medication errors, reduce adverse reactions, and improve patient outcomes.
Remember, medication administration is a complex process that requires
attention to detail, critical thinking, and effective communication with
patients and other healthcare team members.<o:p></o:p></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483819533683771494.post-42081748704454191562021-11-18T01:23:00.003-08:002023-02-19T19:39:47.393-08:00Pete Dowan ... to a Special Nurse<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhiwxZJBh8fnNZes-hIAzcZw-hOY3WET_eayMqykXmUlt2yZ161gn4Q9IumrzxXmt2xKD5IEBHKaY5sSzvznfs9O-hmnaHam3YC0sqEoC0wVtEHJSHkhIYeVCVUCsPHNQdYEeuNYOBCogLWq4K4RoPdXpvk0qROZTiBWJmYNXYTSIe3p0831z1p0-J2=s480" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhiwxZJBh8fnNZes-hIAzcZw-hOY3WET_eayMqykXmUlt2yZ161gn4Q9IumrzxXmt2xKD5IEBHKaY5sSzvznfs9O-hmnaHam3YC0sqEoC0wVtEHJSHkhIYeVCVUCsPHNQdYEeuNYOBCogLWq4K4RoPdXpvk0qROZTiBWJmYNXYTSIe3p0831z1p0-J2=s16000" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Hi ;
Pete Dowan here !
I am contacting you because I know this is the International Year of the Nurse. I am a medically disabled songwriter and have written many songs about many different subjects and in several different styles, but one in particular is a Tribute to those in your profession ... it was a result of my numerous times spent in various hospitals in my area.
One of the last times I came home I decided to try and write one for those who had cared for my well being during those trying times and I focused on the ones that were fresh in my memory. The song I wrote about (and for) them is called <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Ladies In White"</span>. They wore white uniforms and were all female (YES, I know that there ARE male nurses AND know that not many wear white any more... but besides how amazingly efficient and caring they were, that was what I remembered of them .. besides, since white is actually made up of all the colours of the spectrum, it therefore represents every colour). It is just a happy, simple to sing-along-with, uptempo song. It is now included on an album by me that is entitled "For Nurses Only".
I invite you to give it a free listen by clicking on the following link, which will lead you to a widget through which you can access the song. If you so desire, the song CAN be purchased to place on your computer or a portable player, but that is not necessary. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/pdowan" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">CLICK HERE</span></a> to listen to the songs.
I mention that I am medically disabled because various factors of my condition stop me from being able to use professional studios to record my songs, so I have to do them here, at home, in my basement, on donated equipment from musicians I used to work with. For the same reason, I also am unable to perform my music live.
At the same time (and same place), perhaps you could check out my <span style="font-weight: bold;">EARTH SONG</span> (Why Don't We Stand ?), which applies to Earth Day, Earth Week and International Environment Day (though I think every day should be considered as such). I am donating 50% of sales of this song to 4 separate environmental organizations. Like all the songs, it CAN be listened to for free. It can also be seen on YouTube. Just type "Pete Dowan" (include the quotation marks) and it's the first song. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
Please forward this to anyone who you think might be interested.
I DO understand if you'd rather not.
Have a great day, and keep smiling ... Good For The Soul !
Musically Yours,
Pete Dowan {:-) [pronounced like plowin' ]

They also educate patients on how to maintain their own health by following doctor's orders or using home remedies when needed. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" lang="EN-US"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Nurse practitioners diagnose patient conditions with the aid of computer programs as well as medical equipment like x-rays machines and MR.

<br /><div>Did you know that a heart murmur is when blood flows at different speeds through the valves in your heart? This can be caused by many factors, and some murmurs are benign. But if you're experiencing new symptoms or notice changes in your normal routine, it's best to consult with a medical professional. </div><div>In this post we'll explore the Grading of Heart Murmurs and their description.<br /></div><br /><table border="1" class="tftable">
<tbody>
<tr><th>GRADE</th><th>DESCRIPTION</th></tr>
<tr><td>I</td><td>Lowest Intensity, Faint, Difficult to Hear</td></tr>
<tr><td>II</td><td>Low Intensity, Faint, Heard Immediately</td></tr>
<tr><td>III</td><td>Medium to Moderate Intensity, Not Associated with Thrill</td></tr>
<tr><td>IV</td><td>Medium to High Intensity, May be Associated with Thrill</td></tr>
<tr><td>V</td><td>High to Very High Intensity, Associated with Thrill, Audible to Stethoscope</td></tr>
<tr><td>VI</td><td>Highest Intensity, Associated with Thrill, Audible to Stethoscope Off Chest Wall</td></tr>

Nurse charting is a type of medical documentation for nurses and other health care professionals. There are several types of nurse charting, including: narrative, progress notes, and SOAP (subjective-objective-assessment-plan). Posted below are the different types of nurse charting.<br />
<br />
<b>AIR</b> or Assessment, Implementation, Revision<br />
<b>CBE</b> or Charting by Exception<br />
<b>Focused Charting</b><br />
<b>Narrative charting</b><br />
<b>PIE</b> or Problem, Intervention, Evaluation<br />
<b>SOAP</b><br /><ul><li>Subjective data</li>

<div>The assessment of pulse is an art form. Grading the strength and speed of a patient's heartbeat can be challenging. It's not always easy to determine which number corresponds with what, but there are some general guidelines that will help you out. </div><div>The first thing to do is assess how fast their heart rate is going, taking into account any outside factors like exercise or caffeine intake. If it's over 100 BPM then that would be considered tachycardia (or abnormally high). Once you've determined whether they have tachycardia or not, go on to check for systolic blood pressure- if their pulse rises above 120/80 mmHg then this may indicate hypertension as well as possible arrhythmias. Posted below are the description of the pulse and how they are graded.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

<div><div>Muscle Strength Grading is used to measure the force one can apply while pushing or pulling. It's helpful for diagnosing health conditions, determining risk of falls and fractures, predicting mortality rates in older adults, and identifying muscle weakness in neuropathies. Muscle strength grading systems are different depending on who you talk to but it all comes down to how much weight you can push or pull against gravity. The lower your score the weaker your muscles are. </div><div>Muscle Strength Grading has many benefits that make it an important part of any medical professional’s job description; these include: assessing risks of falls and fractures, predicting mortality rates among older adults, and identifying muscle weakness in neuropathies (ex., Parkinson’s disease). I have posted the grading scores and their description for your guide. </div></div><div style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></div><br /><div>
