Chapter 38.2, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The blood vessels are the important constituent of the circulatory system. The main function of the blood vessels is to transport the blood throughout the body. The main components of the blood vessels are veins, arteries, and capillaries. Veins carry blood towards the heart and arteries carry the blood away from the heart.

- Read the following scenario: Mr. Robert McClelland, an 81-year-old man, is a new admission from the local hospital to your long-term care facility. After Mr. McClelland’s last bout with pneumonia and congestive heart failure, his wife of 59 years has decided she is no longer able to care for him alone. Mrs. McClelland states, “He has just gotten too weak and can’t help me care for him. I am so afraid he will fall and hurt himself. I am so worn out trying to care for him myself. I have to bathe him and remind him to eat; sometimes, I’ve had to feed him myself, or he won’t eat. He can be so forgetful.” Given this information, there are two options that Mrs. McClelland is considering. Hire an in-home nurse to care for her husband. Place her husband in a nursing home. Write 200–250 words arguing for the option you think will be best. Use the discussion prompts to guide the content for your initial post. Then, respond to at least two of your peers’ posts.arrow_forwardwhich of the following describes the systemic circulation?

- Directions Write in a COMPLETE Sentence a description of the “faux wound” that is located at the surface of the body at the TIP OF THE SWORD. In your sentence you need to include the following information: Left vs right side of the body Regional terms (e.g., brachial, femoral, pectoral, antebrachial, axillary, among many others…see your PPTX for a list) Orientation terms (e.g., anterior, poster, lateral, medial, proximal, distal, superior, inferior). Bone, suture, muscle landmarks that will help you pinpoint the location. DISTANCES (you can use inches or cm) as needed to increase your specificity. REMINDERS: on the arms and legs you are to use proximal and distal. I won’t accept superior and inferior with the arms and legs. DO NOT use proximal and distal to describe things on the head or torso.arrow_forwardWhat distinguishes angina from a heart attack? Select an answer from the options below Angina is caused by disrupted blood flow to the heart and lungs, whereas a heart attack is caused by a blockage in the heart muscle. Angina is caused by the death of the heart muscle, whereas a heart attack is caused by a disruption to the blood flow into the heart and lungs. Angina is chest pain due to an insufficient blood supply, whereas a heart attack is the death of the heart muscle tissue. A heart attack is the pain caused by the blood supply being briefly interrupted, whereas angina is caused by a longer disruption in blood flow.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the heart is TRUE? A) The sinoatrial node generates the fastest action potentials in the heart B) The parasympathetic branch of the nervous system decreases heart rate C) The sinoatrial node passes the action potentials to the AV node D) Both B & C E) All of the abovearrow_forward
