CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT The collection of blood specimens (experimental group) was conducted within a 150 meter radius of selected cell towers with a dense population within the province of Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines. The examination of the morphology of the collected specimen was processed at Saint Mary’s University particularly in Medical Technology Laboratory and Center for Natural Sciences Laboratory (S205), and for the Complete Blood Count (CBC) was conducted at Nueva Vizcaya Provincial Hospital (NVPH). SUBJECT OF THE STUDY Respondents were randomly chosen. Control samples were those who reside far from a cell tower and the experimental group were those who reside within the 150 meter radius of a cell tower station. …show more content…
Identify the patient by having the patient verbally state his or her name. 2. Assemble supplies. 3. Reassure the patient. 4. Position the patient. 5. Verify paper work and tube selection. 6. If necessary, to help in locating the vein, ensure that the patient’s hand is closed. 7. Select an appropriate venipuncture site, giving priority to the median cubital vein. 8. Cleanse the venipuncture site with 70% isopropyl alcohol, working concentric circles from the inside to outside. Allow the skin to air-dry. 9. Apply the tourniquet 2 to 4 inches above the selected puncture site for no longer than 1 minute. 10. Inspect the needle and equipment. 11. Perform the venipuncture by anchoring the vein with the thumb 1 to 2 inches below the site and inserting the needle, bevel up, with a 15- to 30-degree angle between the needle and the skin. 12. Put the blood sample collected in an EDTA tube (i.e., lavender stopper) and gently invert the tube 8x. 13. Store the inverted EDTA tube in an icebox (4 deg. Celsius for 6 hrs.) for transportation. Complete Blood Count 1. Get the blood sample collected in an EDTA tube from the ice box. 2. Make sure that the sample is already in room temperature before feeding into the machine. 3. Then, mix the tubes
Catalase Activity on Substrate Based On Gas Pressure Production Rate Name of the Class Author’s Name Date Enzymes are organic compounds which act as catalysts and speed up biological reactions in biological organisms. They are not destroyed or changed during the reaction but rather they are used over and over again to catalyze many more reactions. Their activity may be affected and altered by factors such as temperature, substrate concentration, enzyme concentration and Ph.
Assess for prothrombin time during treatment (2 sec deviation from control time, bleeding time, and clotting time); monitor for bleeding, pulse, and BP. Assess for nutritional status: liver (beef), spinach, tomatoes, coffee, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, greens. Administer IV route after diluting with D5, NS 10 ml or more give 1 mg/min or more. IV route only when other routes not possible (deaths have occurred). Perform/provide Store in tight, light-resistant container Evaluate
d) Setting out procedures When setting out for procedure its done in two stages in our practice. First is initial setting of the instruments and materials before patient enter room. All (chair, spittoon, work tops...) is wipe down with disinfectant wipes and then set up instrument tray with some cotton wool rolls, articulation paper and 3 in 1 tip on little table on the side the chair handy for clinician. This table is moveable and can be set in desirable position. Hand pieces and local anaesthetic syringe with needle are place on the stationary table in the reach of clinical in the case she may need them.
The second step, sit the patient in a comfortable position with his arm fully extended while placing a clean tourniquet around the patients arm, about 3 or 4 inches above the venipuncture
Secondly, I used safety during medication administration. My preceptor and I would pull up one patient at a time when taking out medications. I also
♦ Administer recommended vaccines or refer patients to a vaccination provider. ♦ Document vaccines that have been administered, including those administered by another provider. Thesesteps
A Phlebotomists Nightmare Deep within the bowels of Camden Clark Medical Center I began my workday as any other. My basket consisted of sharp fresh needles, silky gauze, alcohol swabs, and several unused tubes. My patients dreadfully awaited to be drawn as I stock my supplies.
I would maintain the patient’s privacy. I would instruct the cleaning worker to keep the floor dry every time. I would make sure that every examination and reviews were done prior to surgery. I would check the patient’s record carefully before administering drug. I would confirm patient’s sensitiveness to any kind of allergic reaction and consult with doctors if needed.
This week we had our orientation at Holy Spirit Hospital in Camp Hill. On Monday, in the Fundamentals of Nursing class, we learned different oxygenation therapy for the patients. We had a chance to go to the Sim Lab and see different types of equipment such as the nasal cannula, venturi mask, simple oxygen face mask, re-breather mask, pulse ox machine and the oxygen flow meter. Although, we were not able to use on the simulation mannequins, we were able to see what they look like and how you would use them.
Demonstrate taking a specimen from the catheter port using aseptic technique.
Do the same for the other test tubes. Let the test tubes not be disturbed for about 3- 4 mins. Then add the Amylase solution to the Starch solution and start the stopwatch (immediately). After every 1 min take one drop from the test tubes and place then in the test plate that were
Connecting to the needles will be IV tubes which go through the wall which are attached to where the drugs are inserted (Death
Taking vitals and their chief complaints and working them up as needed. There at Frisco Urgent Care we had a protocol to follow. If a patient came in with cough we were allow to run a flu test, strep test and get bloodwork and even a chest x-ray all before the doctor step in the patient room. It being an Urgent Care meant anything could happen. We are trained in what to do accordingly to a patient depending on symptoms or how they came in .
Towards the end of the procedure the nurse counted all sponges and needles with the scrub to make sure that no equipment was left within the patient. The nurse also continued to document information such as the length of the surgery and the amount of blood lost throughout the procedure. Lastly, the circulating nurse cleaned the room and then transferred the patient into a hospital bed to be transferred to the post-anesthesia care unit. Ignatavicius and workman (2013) addressed that these are all responsibilities of the circulating nurse (p.
Do not manipulate or recap used needles using both hands and any other technique whereby the exposed needle is directed toward any part of the body. If necessary, use of a one-handed "scoop" technique or mechanical recapping device is recommended. Use forceps, suture holders or other instruments and avoid "blind" actions when suturing. Never leave used sharps on a tray, bed, counter, exam table, or other location for someone else to dispose. As soon as possible, do it yourself.
