    “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll and “Gulliver’s Travels: A Voyage to Lilliput” by Jonathan Swift present the reader with two microcosms to aid in a de familiarization of the narrative. The secondary world is painted in extreme contrast to the primary world, therefore allowing the reader to see the customs, traditions and characters in the secondary world as separate from themselves. This allows them to judge the morality of their actions without their own cultural bias acting as a filter. The portal fantasies of Alice and Gulliver lead the reader into an unknown place, and ask them to learn of a secondary world, not unlike their own. The aim of these portal fantasies are to eventually allow the two worlds to bleed together,…

    Every little detail matters to anesthesiologists; from their patient’s body weight, current medications, any known allergies, pain tolerance, to the completing of a spinal injection. An anesthesiologist is given a barrage of important information each day; so, paying attention and writing down major issues is just part of what they have to do (Novak). The anesthesiologist is in charge of monitoring their patients before, after, and during surgical operations (Greenwood). Many problems can occur during surgery, so it is important to focus on all of the details. An anesthesiologist is not allowed to have a lazy or distracted day; one mistake could lead to their patient’s distress or death. During a surgical procedure he will monitor the patient’s blood pressure, heart rhythm, amount of oxygen in the blood, temperature, and level of consciousness. Paying close attention to detail at all times would be strenuous for most individuals, but anesthesiologists fight through to ensure their patients are safe and…

I assessed the airway and carried out suction, then administered oxygen, but I did not do it immediately. She had vomited three times, keeping the airway patent and administrating oxygen are very important for postoperative care (Smith, 2010). In fact, concerning treatment of hypotension in PACU, should always begin with oxygen therapy to ensure hypo-perfused organs meet the need of oxygen (Smith, 2010). The common cause of hypotension is fluid loss, IV fluid boluses will be given to normalize blood pressure (Smith, 2010), which is the reason why the doctor ordered the IV and blood transfusion. When transfusing blood or blood components, assessment is required before, during, and after the transfusion. If the client has an intravenous line in place, assess the venipuncture site for signs of infection or infiltration and patency (Jantzen & Molzahn, 2010). In fact, we did not do very well in blood transfusion and we should keep the IV line running and set up another blood transfusion line in the other…
