Having good medical records is very important, for the proper care of patients. “Medical records can be used to manage healthcare, track healthcare, provide clinical data, meet regulatory requirements, and document healthcare” (Allen, 2013, P. 57).

Morphine flows through the novel Three Day Road. Many of the characters are seduced by the drug’s effects. Grey Eyes, the soldier responsible for swaying Elijah to try morphine for the first time, is an excellent example of how excessive to drug use had become during the great war. Xavier is first to comment on Grey Eye’s immoderate use of morphine: “When Grey Eyes takes a lot of it, he lies like he is dead until I worry that he has joined them [the dead soldiers]” (Boyden 80) This quote illustrates how incognizant many soldiers were to the harm the strong pain killer had on the body’s central nervous system like the character Grey Eyes as he misuses the drug until unconscious.
Medication Nursing Assistants Nursing assistants have long been the heartbeat of assisted living, long-term care and rehabilitation facilities alike. Over time, their roles in these settings have evolved to accommodate the needs of the RNs/ LPNs they work alongside and the cliental they care for. In 2001, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) expanded the capacity of NAs in an effort to facilitate safer staffing ratios.
African Americans African Americans are decedents of Africa that now live in America. They do not all carry the same cultural and ethnic beliefs though, and are a very diverse group of people. This diverse group does in fact have some overall similarities in their practices and beliefs. Some of the health beliefs that are similar are having a strong social support, caring about their community, using home remedies and faith healers for their health, and having fears of dying from cancer. Many turn to God and pray first and this can lead to a delay in getting professional medical help and treatment.
Naloxone is an antidote medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid effects meaning it binds to opioid receptors and can reverse and block the effects of opioids. It can very quickly restore normal respiration to a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped as a result of overdosing with opioids like heroin or prescription opioid pain medications. Although, naloxone can reverse effects of opioids but it can give false sense of safety in case of opioid overdose, and hence at times increasing the risk of deaths from opioid overdose. Half-life of naloxone can be shorter than that of the opioid itself, that means naloxone stays in the system for short period of time compared with opioid, so repeat dosing after 2-3 minutes or continuous naloxone infusion may be required for it to be effective in saving lives until emergency help
Hi Cheskamae, It is great to know that you 're in awareness area and you have started your way to a good and healthy lifestyle.

According to Michael Klein, “The most prescription drugs that are commonly misused are opioids, tranquillizers, sedatives, and hypnotics.” Unintentional overdose deaths involving opioid pain relievers have quadrupled since 1999 and have outnumbered those involving heroin and cocaine since 2002. (Klein). The reason some people abuse opioids is just to “get high”.
Morphine for Medication Morphine has been known as a drug, a devil people mustn’t interfere with, but they never think about its benefits as a medical treatment. There are so many painful health conditions that people face nowadays, such as cancer pain, a pain after a major surgery, a pain after major trauma or injury, or a heart attack. Morphine is a strong opioid painkiller that is used to treat those conditions to relieve the pain. Although morphine is addictive and can ruin a user’s health, it also has benefits as a medication.

Morphine and other opiate drugs relieve pain by binding to the opiate receptors on the surface of the nerve cell, which is an essential component of the central nervous system. This stimulates a series of chemical reactions within the cell that inhibits the cell 's ability to continually provide signals across the body. Therefore, morphine can block the sensations of pain through the process of silencing the nerves responsible for sending the pain impulses. However, large overdoes of this drug can permanently damage these cells across the body. The excessive use can cause asphyxia and death if the individual does not receive proper treatment immediately[7] because opiates are essentially artificial endorphins in the brain, which reduces one
