- 13472: Endotracheal Suctioning
- Endotracheal Suctioning Introduction Endotracheal suctioning is a necessary and vital procedure done on patients who have an established artificial airway. The goal of endotracheal suctioning is to clear secretions from the patient’s airway and to improve gas exchange (Ackerman, 1993). The instillation of normal saline prior to endotracheal suctioning is a common practice of nurses. Reasons for such practice are varied. One such reason is to loosen and dilute thick, tenacious secretions in the patient’s respiratory tract so that secretions become mobilized and are thus easier to remove during suctioning. Furthermore, such normal saline instillation (NSI) is used to elicit a cough from the patient in hopes of mobilizing secretions ... suctioning for the patient (Ackerman, 1993). Purpose The purpose of this research problem is aimed at looking at the effects that instilling normal saline into an endotracheal tube prior to suctioning has on a patient’s oxygen saturation. Oxygen saturation (SpO2) is defined according to Taber's (1993) as “the ratio of amount of oxygen present in a known volume of blood to amount of oxygen that could be carried ...

- ... ways in various parts of the country. When a roaming band of Indians found a place with good hunting and plenty of seeds and berries, they settled down. Gradually they learned to utilize the area's trees and plants, its animals, fish, and birds, and its stones and earth. The vast American continents have many kinds of land and climate. In each area nature provided special plants, animals, and raw materials ... in Greenland and Siberia. Many depend upon seal, whale, walrus, caribou, polar bear, Arctic birds, and other Arctic animals. They make warm clothing of the animal skins--turning the fur inside to hold the body's warmth. Games, Sports, And Ceremonies The Indians did not give all their time to the work needed to stay alive. They had many games and sports. Tribal members came together for festivals that lasted a ... spin, stilts, slings, and other toys. They had dogs and small wild things as pets. Around the fire in the evening, old and young played guessing games such as hunt-the-button. They made cat's cradles with fiber string. Children learned skills from games then as they do now.

- 13475: Shakespearean Comedy
- ... all with great success. During the performance of these plays there was no scenery so great time was taken when developing the characters and the plot so the plays would be entertaining. A Midsummers Night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing are just two of the comedies Shakespeare wrote. These two plays have many things in common where as Measure for Measure is a problem play with a totally different tone. Comparing and contrasting these three plays will help us to understand what Shakespeare thought comedy was in the 1600's and to see if our views on comedy are the same today. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a festive comedy. The play takes place in June and this is a bewitched time. In the spring the custom is to celebrate the return of fertility to the earth. During this ...

- 13477: Candide-Purposeful Satire
- Candide - Voltaire's Writing Style In Candide, Voltaire uses many writing techniques which can also be found in the works of Cervantes, Alighieri, Rabelais and Moliere. The use of the various styles and conventions shows that, despite the passage of centuries and the language differences, certain writing techniques will always be effective. One common literary technique is the author's use of one or more of his characters as his 'voice' to speak out the authors views on a certain subject. For instance, in Moliere's Tartuffe, the author uses the character of Cleante to speak out against religious hypocrites (page 1419, lines 99-102): Nothing that I more cherish and admire Than honest zeal and true religious fire. So ...
