a 68 year old Male presents to the e m.j Regency department with complainants of a 2- day history of difficulty breathing, cough, a d chest pain. Upon triage assessment, the patient is found to have a fever, increased work of breathing, decreased oxygen saturation, and crackers upon asculation of the lungs. A chest x ray reveals considation in the right upper ly g field. The patient is diagnosed with pneumonia, initiated on oxygen therapy, and admitted for observation and treatment. As The RN, you document t the care and assessment of the patient in the chart prior to transfer to an inpatient unit. what is the most appropriate term for the clinical manifestation of disease as reported by the patient?

Describe the differences between Arteries and Veins. Detail the movement of blood and their structural differences. Tell me what are 3 causes of high blood pressure and then tell me how this can cause other health related issues in our bodies physiologically. What would you tell your friend or family member if they had high blood pressure to help them understand why they needed to change their behavior?

Compare and contrast 2 types of joints in the skeletal system (i.e. ginglymus versus ball-and-socket: how does each one move, where are they found, etc).
Define and discuss a pathology involving each of your choices (i.e. arthritis, fracture, etc).
Briefly give an example - personal, professional, or from a published source - of a patient case for each of the pathologies.

1.According to your group data, how does NaCl and/or water intake influence urine production?
These are the data:
we explore how consuming various amounts of water and electrolytes cause changes in urine volume produced, urine sodium concentration, and urine osmolarity. In the following groups, urine is collected at 30 minute intervals: In response to drinking 1L of water. In response to eating pretzels containing 1g of NaCl. In response to drinking 1L of water and eating pretzels containing 1g of NaCl.
2. Explain the relation between osmolarity and sodium chloride concentration.
3. Predict the osmolarity of a 0.05 M solution of MgCl2.

Digestion & Absorption
Identify the enzymes that work to chemically digest each of the three macronutrients present in a well- balanced diet.
Name the enzymes.
What cells or organs produce them?
Where they are first present in the alimentary canal?
For each macronutrient in (a), what type of vessel does the digested product get absorbed into?

Metabolism. The body is able to readily burn glucose and lipids as fuel, but which source it uses depends on many factors.
Identify the multiple chemical reactions that occur to create energy from carbohydrates (glucose).
How does an excess of glucose cause an increase in the amount of fat present in the body? Be specific!
What chemical reactions are required to turn triglycerides into energy?
