I don't know what class this is for, appears health related. I don't want to be hard nosed - everyone of these can be answered with a little searching. I am retired teacher - you can find the answers, you don't need them from me or anyone.

26) It infects certain white blood cells, destroying the immune system and making the body susceptible to infection. 27) Type 1 28) crushing chest pain 29) malignant melanoma 30) anthrax 31) Dysentery 32) cholesterol 33) improve people's nutrition and lifestyle choices 34) Parkinson's 35) diabetes mellitus Hope this helps! Please vote mine as the best answer [it'll be like saying thanks] i researched them all individually. :)

If you are taking a health class online, you should have been provided reading material. I can't give you the answers as that would be cheating but I can provide sites where by reading 2 or 3 paragraphs, you can find the answers rapidly. 26) HIV http://www.epigee.org/health/hiv_symptoms.html http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hiv-aids/DS00005/DSECTION=symptoms 27) Diabetes in young adults and children http://mayoclinic.com/health/type-1-diabetes-in-children/DS00931 The next one is a must read if you are taking a health class - longer but it provides some very interesting information http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/23/3/381.full.pdf Here's an easy one: http://www.battlediabetes.com/double-diabetes-placing-your-kids-at-even-more-risk/ Now THINK when you read this next one: http://doctor.website2go.com/p6.html 28) Not a warning sign of skin cancer You should be able to get this one easily http://ezinearticles.com/?Skin-Cancer-Warning-Signs---Five-Signs-and-How-to-Prevent-Skin-Cancer&id=2254326 29) Most dangerous form of skin cancer You're going to have to do some reading here: http://ezinearticles.com/?Melanoma---Surviving-the-Least-Common-But-Most-Dangerous-Form-of-Skin-Cancer&id=1597441 30) This one is on you - think back to after 9/11 and remember the scares at various places. You can already eliminate 2 choices: stroke and bovine spongiform encephalopathy. How is West Nile transmitted? Not through the mail. 31) Diarrhea This is just a matter of looking up each word and doing some simple reasoning - you are looking for a general answer. Do all people with diarrhea have cancer? Isn't Crohn's a specialized disease? Look up dysentry - how do people get it? Is it specific or general. Lastly look up IBS or irritable bowel syndrome. Does that feel like the logical answer? 32) Start by looking up atherosclerosis. Ok the answer should be there but if it isn't...think. Are steroids a fat? yes/No Does everyone who has athrosclerosis use olive oil? What diets is olive oil good for? Now look up cholesterol and then phospholipids. Or to save time just go to Wikipedia and look up Atherosclerosis - your answer is in the first paragraph. 33) What is key to starting cancer treatment? http://www.canceradvice.co.uk/cancer-news/may-2007/cancer-survival-rates-114/ 34) This one is more difficult because it describes the end stages of PD with dementia and it describes completely AD. Think it through. You should also at least know what Grave's disease is and how it requires early intervention. Did you know that Marty Feldman of Young Frankenstein had Graves? That's what caused the bulging eyes although it is certainly not the most common symptom. And most certainly read about the very painful Paget's disease. 35) First you should figure out what hypertension is - the rest is easy. Just make a selection from the drop down - keep returning and reading. Or just be logical because you already know that diabetes is pancreatic. http://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure/default.htm If you don't know how to conduct a search, this should help - the search parameters were dictated by the questions.

Can someone help me with this nursing scenario

Can someone help me with this nursing scenario?
I'm in nursing school and I just wanted some opinions on handling this med administration scenario before my exam coming up. (I don't want to miss anything) Please tell me what nursing considerations I should be aware of when administering these drugs. The scenario includes a man with afib who had a fall at home recently and has fractured some ribs in his left side. He has a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. He has no allergies and his blood glucose levels are stabilized when using insulin. My initial assessment would reveals a blood glucose of 6.4, temp 36.8, apical pulse 68 (reg), resps 22, BP 130/70, SPO2 96% RA, pain rating of 6/10 on his ribs, His meds are: Digoxin, morphine, Restoril, heparin, hydrochlorothiazide and humulin R and humulin N insulins. Thanks!

Hi, I don't know if I will be of much help; I'm only a first year nursing student. I would say, of course start off with the recommended or suggested dosage of medication prescribed by a physician or the nurse and take vital signs q2h for a little bit and increase to q4h. Taking his blood glucose levels. Observe his nonverbal expressions and I guess you can ask him how he is doing, how has the pain changed, and what not? Definitely look at side effects and whether or not the medications are effective. Is that a safe combination of medications to hand out? o__o I'm not too sure :( .. ahaha. Definitely consider cultural impacts or his beliefs/values as well and what he thinks of taking all of the meds.

It's considered poor form to post a laundry list of your homework questions on Y!A. I suggest you Google each term or look it up in your glossary. You'll be a better person for it. Good luck in your studies, ~ Mitch ~
2 :
I provided as many of the search areas as Yahoo Answers permits (10) at the other area where you placed your question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiF.VHHg301RYLVdIslr1twjzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20090806211605AALgfYl I do want to mention that if you are taking this course because it is a requirement for a field other than Health, it is still important to learn how to research for a quick answer. The whole idea of taking a course is to learn something...not just to get unearned credit. Here are some of the best and easiest sites to use: http://health.nih.gov/ Just type in the keyword - disease in the box and you will be given a selection. Try the first and second ones. Another easy site is the Mayo Clinic using the same procedure as above:: http://www.mayoclinic.com/ That said here are the best keywords and other info to use for each question: 26) I provided website information in my previous answer - this is one where you should really read - I'd avoid Wikipedia on this one as it will just confuse you. 27) The answers are in the other answer I provided Type in "Diabetes Type 4" to begin with - you'll find a shorter selection which will lead you to a discussion of all types and therefore your answer. 28) Warning signs of skin cancer or just think logically and then double check. 29) Fatal form of skin cancer "Most dangerous form of skin cancer" or just enter each term provided in the multiple choice 30) Begin at the top of your list and stop when you think you have the answer - If you're not sure, continue to the last 2. 31) Begin at the top of your list and check each term. 32) The search is "atherosclerosis" - very basic 33) Cancer - survival You could also type in "American Cancer Society" http://www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.asp 34) Begin with Alzheimer's disease move on to Parkinson's disease Paget's Disease Graves disease 35) "Hypertension" and then each of the choices You can do this and you need to do it. Would you want a doctor or nurse who made it through med school by getting the answers at Yahoo Answers?

It depends, we don't know what format your bibliography needs to be in. Typically, I would say that they're in APA format. So, here's a website where you can look it up. http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citapa.htm
2 :
Some of the links don't work. but what you do is organize them in alphabetical order. by the author's last name. and if the piece of work doesn't have an author.... then start with the title first. you should do mla format for this, if you can "Author and/or editor names Name of the database, or title of project, book, article Any version numbers available Date of version, revision, or posting Publisher information Date you accessed the material Electronic address, printed between carets ([<, >])."

Why don't people realize there is an big difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes

Why don't people realize there is an big difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
Not just in the way it develops, but in the way it's treated. And it's not just those two. There is type 1, type 2, gestational ... and that's just diabetes MELLITUS! There's also a diabetes insipidus that doesn't have anything to do with blood sugar levels. It drives me crazy for someone to ask a diabetes related question and not specify which type. Maybe I'm taking this too seriously, but when I come here I come because I want to help (and to learn) and it's impossible when people do not include these basic details. 10 points goes to whoever can give the differences between type 1 and type 2, accurately and in detail. Sorry for the rant, thanks for listening :D Mr Peachy, I am so disappointed in you. The definition of 'diabetes' has nothing to do with blood sugar. You would have known that if you had even read my question to the end. http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=11148 Actually I don't know all the 50 states' capitals anymore. But that doesn't effect anyone's health. And if I were in the geography section and 10 people per day came there and said that the capital of California was Las Vegas, you would see me post a similar rant there. daeve930, absolutely right. I met a young, very thin woman with type 2 who had never been heavy. It does happen, some can't avoid it. I feel for you. And Word Nerd ... thank you for sympathizing with me. That did make me feel a bit better :o) Actually I did want you to bore me, but I don't blame you for not wanting to strain your fingers. This question will be buried in a day and it won't make a difference.

Type 1, is genetic ussually Type 2, is for overweight people
2 :
A simple way to remember it is: Type 1 is Diabetes of the thin, Type 2 is Diabetes of the fat.
3 :
Type 1: Juvenile and/or insulin dependant. Type 2: Adult onset, non insulin dependant. Both have genetic factors. And to all of you who think type 2 is for fat people, go screw yourself and get a damn clue before opening your ignorant mouths. It just so happens that diabetes, and many of the medicines to treat it CAUSE people to gain weight. that said, I do think you're taking it too seriously. When I was diagnosed, and with every doctor since, the term "Type 1" or "Type 2" has never even been mentioned. I have a family history of it, so I knew the difference, but for most patients it's never mentioned, and it really doesn't matter. You can usually tell by the question and background which the person has, and in most cases, for the question asked it really doesn't matter.
4 :
Because people are too lazy to read about illness and disease. Everyone would rather sit in front of the TV and take everything on TV at face value.
5 :
Type II - unable to efficiently use insulin Type I - unable to make insulin How's that??? And I could explain the differences to a level of detail that would bore everyone and strain my fingers. But the posts here are the perfect illistration of how poorly both are understood. And I agree....it does get frustrating, because except for the fact that both end up with high blood sugar levels, they have little else in common (cause, treatment, potential cures, etc...). That's why I like being involved with the JDRF over the ADA.
6 :
My husband has had diabetes type 1 since he was 5 years old, and it can only be controlled with insulin. Diet and exercise help the blood sugar levels stay more even. Their pancreas make no insulin at all.There is no cure yet. Type 2 diabetes is controlled by pills and sometimes insulin and can be cured if you eat right and lose weight, but not only the obese get this type though it is more likey. Unlike people with type 1 diabetes, people with type 2 diabetes produce insulin; however, the insulin their pancreas secretes is either not enough or the body is unable to recognize the insulin and use it properly. This is called insulin-resistance. When there isn't enough insulin or the insulin is not used as it should be, glucose (sugar) can't get into the body's cells. When glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, the body's cells are unable to function properly. Something I found on the web to explain better.
7 :
There's also type 1.5, or Syndrome X (which might be briefly classified as adult onset, insulin dependent) ..... and that bastard stepchild of diabetes: hypoglycemia. Too many people don't realize that low blood sugar is just another manifestation of the disease. I refer everybody to the ADA's website. People think they know a whole lot more about our disease than they actually do.
8 :
I've already explained the differences in detail... lots of times. You apparently already know the differences. About the only thing they have in common is the potential for high blood sugar (the definition of 'diabetes'). Can you name the 50 states and their capitals? Can you name the guy that brought the "Big Four" together in the 1860s to get the trans Sierra railroad put through to Promontory Point, Utah? Do you know the difference between a germanium and silicon transistor? See what I mean? It depends on your level of interest in a given subject. Most people on Yahoo! Answers can barely remember their birthdate.. Lighten up, okay? Getting stressed will just raise your blood glucose level anyway. Whether you're insulin resistant, or if your beta cells are toast.
9 :
hey i found out a couple of months back that i have Diabetes type 1... i know how to treat it and what it is but i dont get what has caused it? no one else in my family has ever had it before can anyone help? x
10 :
Lots of bad answers here, especially the ones who relate Type II to being fat. While that MAY be true, many diabetics aren't fat until they get it, and others never get fat. One of the first sypmtoms is unexplained weight loss. My mom was Type II and never weighed over 120 pounds even pregnant and soaking wet. I've had Type II for many years, even when I was quite thin and taught 24 ballet classes a week. How much more exercise could I get than that! I really do resent people who tell me "if you just..." When you're diabetic and control it with diet and excercise, I MIGHT consider taking your advice. Type I is insulin deficient. Type II -- you make insulin but your body doesn't know what to do with it or you're insulin deficient but not in the same way. Lots of Type II take insulin. And diabetes insipidus is so far from this disease, it should have a totally different name.
11 :
My Daughter is Type 1, diagnosed at age 10 six years ago. Type 1 Diabetes is a disorder in which the body does not produce insulin. In this case the body attacks an organ known as the pancreas where insulin is made. Those with Type 1 Diabetes are required to take insulin injections to move sugar from the bloodstream. This type of diabetes is usually diagnosed before age 40. Type 2 Diabetes occurs when insulin that the body produces is less efficient at moving sugar out of the bloodstream. Some sugar is moved out of the blood, just not as effectively compared to a person with normal insulin efficiency. High blood sugars are a result of this. Diet, exercise, weight loss, and possible medications are the treatment for this type of diabetes. Occasionally, someone with Type 2 may be placed on insulin to better control blood sugars. This type of diabetes is associated with physical inactivity and obesity. Type 2 Diabetes used to be thought of as the adult onset type of diabetes.
12 :
well...I won't be getting 10 points from you cause I don't feel like explaining the differences cause I like ranting more :) I think part of the reason why people don't realize the differences between type 1, type 2, gestational, etc is because of the media. 90% of people with diabetes have type 2 and when the media decides to do a report on diabetes, its usually about type 2. The only problem is that the media doesn't say type 2...they just say diabetes. I absolutly love some of the answers to questions that involve type 1..."if you lose weight and eat healthy, theres a possibility that you might completly get off your meds"...haha, right, most type 1's are thin to begin with, lose weight and you're anorexic. .yeah a type 1 will lose weight if they go off their meds....but only cause their sugar is too high

Yeah, what ml88b said.

Discuss the patient’s diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. How would you diagnosis a child with this

Discuss the patient’s diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. How would you diagnosis a child with this?
Case Study #1: Diabetes Hannah is a 10-year-old girl who has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. She is a 4th grade student at Hendricks Elementary School. Prior to her diagnosis, Hannah was very involved in sports and played on the girls volleyball team. Her mother is concerned about how the diagnosis will affect Hannah. 1. Discuss the patient’s diagnosis. Include a definition of the actual disease or condition. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus once known as “juvenile onset� diabetes or “insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus,� is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism caused by inadequate production of insulin by the pancreas or faulty use of insulin by the cells. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert sugar (glucose) into energy. Although type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, it typically appears during childhood or adolescence. 2. Identify the factors which could have caused or lead to the particular disease or condition. 3. Describe the signs and symptoms which are associated with the disease or condition. 4. Discuss the diagnostic testing that is usually performed in order to formally diagnose the particular disease or condition. 5. Identify the appropriate treatment (including therapies, medications, etc) which the patient may be prescribed for his/her particular diagnosis. 6. Discuss potential barriers to therapy which the patient may experience due to their unique situation. 7. Discuss alternative treatments which may also benefit the patient. 8. Describe the typical prognosis for a patient with the disease or condition. 9. Identify patient teaching which would benefit the patient in your case study. I have to do a paper for school and looking for a good website to answer these question.
