how do doctor and nurse carry out their jobs without becoming infected by disease?

Question

My old job was similar to body building. Something happened to me and i had a lot of tests done to rule out heart and lungs disease. The doctors said that its anxiety and panic attack. What should I do?

Answer 1

Good hygiene: There are ways you are taught in order not to transfer germs to other patients and to yourself, hand washing is probably the most important thing we do.

Answer 2

In short - on demand: Babies essentially feed 'on demand', meaning they should eat when and how long they wish. On average that may be every 2-3 hours during the day for 30 minutes or so total. At night, it may be a bit more frequent, roughly every 1.5 to 2 hours and 30-40 minutes. Babies are meant to feed more frequently at night for several reasons and that is normal. Feeds longer than that may just be pacifying.

Answer 3

Every 2-3 hours: If you just had your baby, you should plan to nurse at least every 2-3 hours, with a goal of about 8-12 feedings per 24 hrs. It is a good idea to keep track of your feedings in the first week of life. Once your milk supply comes in and your baby starts to take more milk at a time, the feeding frequency declines. This is something your pediatrician will be able to provide further guidance on.

Answer 4

Lop-sided.: If you nurse exclusively from one breast, that breast will enlarge to produce all of the milk necessary for your growing infant. The other breast will not. It will not hurt the baby to nurse on one side only. But you will most likely have asymmetrical breasts.

Answer 5

Uneven breasts: Every woman's breasts are slightly asymmetric. Because of this babies may prefer one side over the other. Unfortunately, each breast reacts to its own personal stimulation so baby can rev up one side and wean down the other. You'll likely end up with a size differential if one breast makes 4 oz and the other only makes 1 oz. Try to keep things even if possible - a breast pump can help with this.

Answer 6

About 10-15 min/side: In the first days after delivery, it will likely take a while for your breast milk to come in. Once your milk is in, most babies will effectively be able to nurse about 10-15 minutes per breast for each feeding. As your baby gets older, he/she may become more efficient & able to get the milk out faster than that. Also, some babies nurse from only one side at a time- if so, 20 minutes may suffice.

Answer 7

Til the baby is done: The length of time at the breast is not a good indicator of how well the feeding has gone. A baby can spend an hour at the breast, but if the latch is poor, may not have transferred much milk. They could also spend 10 minutes and get all they need. Babies love to hang out at the breast and breastfeeding is so much more than food. I'd stop watching the clock and enjoy the time with the baby.

Answer 8

HH Nursing: In order to receive home health paid by medicare (or your insurance) you must have two things: a skilled need and you must be home bound. Skilled needs can include all kinds of things: wound care, physical therapy, medication monitoring, intravenous medications, etc. The hh nurse is responsible for creating a plan of care and monitoring which includes weekly visits, at the minimum.

Answer 9

It depends: It depends on the problems of the patient the nurse is asked to treat in the home. There are numerous chronic problems that are each treated somewhat differently. The nurse will make certain the patient is eating appropriately and living in a healthy environment..

Answer 10

Depends on the stage: Stage I about 90% stage II more than 60% stage III (regional spread) 35% stage IV 15 % or less stage I and II are localized

Answer 11

Good if early: Uterine leiomyosarcoma represents a malignant form of uterine fibroid where smooth muscle comprising the benign tumor undergoes malignant transformation. This is the same type tumor seen in the stomach and where the lesion arises in the smooth muscle of veins. Depending on stage when diagnosed the routine malignant lesion has a 60% survival rate, which is cut in half when regional spread occurs

Answer 12

Different training: Nurse practitioner (np) has a nursing degree and has different training than a physician's assistant (pa). Both of these providers assist doctors in treating patients.
