    This paper looks into patient safety and quality care with special emphasis on preoperative assessment, the evaluation of patient airway, American Association of Nurse Anesthetists standards of care, anesthesia in alternative environments, septicemia, pacemakers, and a self-reflection on these issues. These topics are important when preparing to administer anesthetics because undergoing anesthesia always involves risks. In order to provide the best service, a personalized anesthetic plan should be made for each unique and complex patient and planned procedure. The overall goal in planning is to avoid pitfalls which may cause perioperative morbidity and mortality. It is also important to reflect on clinical experiences to improve future performances…

    Trauma In Recitatif

    • 137 Words
    • 1 Page

    Trauma can take form in an array of expressions—displacement, action, feelings, etc; Its abilities are endless in terms of its resilience, consistency, and power. Toni Morrison’s short story Recitatif genuinely exemplifies the exhausting, and sometimes misleading, difficulties associated with trauma through the lives of Twyla and Roberta. Their lives and the stories they tell demonstrate in vivid color how trauma can shape all aspects of one’s existence. Trauma takes no particular attention to the victim so it can disturb the memory of individuals through malicious, heart-wrenching, or painful incidents. Morrison tackles a swarm of societal dilemmas through her short story, and additionally provides insight to the struggles these people encounter,…

    In the beginning stages of the trauma, there are many bodily processes that are affected, some are immediate, and some are a result of the insult to the surrounding structures. If the patient still being in a trauma ward of a hospital, the patient must be continually evaluated for any cardiac compromise that could be an issue from the swelling due to the injury.

    Complex Trauma

    • 6 Pages

    Complex trauma, or Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), is a form of repetitive, interpersonal trauma that often occurs during childhood, such as sexual abuse or domestic violence (Courtois, 2008). In 2015, 9.2 out of every 1000 children were reported as victims of neglect (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2017). As these children develop into adulthood, evidence of complex trauma may appear in the form of cognitive and behavioral impairments, as well as various mood and personality disorders (Olson-Morrison, 2017). Treatment is often focused on the disorders rather than the actual trauma itself. Courtois (2008) outlines seven areas of impairment which serve as diagnostic criteria for complex trauma. She argues that cultivating…
