Essays on Elevations

Abiotic factors which include climate are known to affect plant growth. Elevation which influences the climatic conditions can directly affect the tree height. The trees in higher elevation are thought to be shorter than trees in lower elevation because of the low temperatures which directly affects the height of trees. The experiment was done to ascertain tree height difference and to fulfil the deadline. The hypothesis for the experiment was that trees in lower elevation grow taller than trees at a higher elevation. The methodology for the experiment included measuring tree height in high and low elevations. Tree height ...

Acute coronary syndrome is an umbrella term for a group of clinical symptoms indicative of acute myocardial ischemia. These conditions include non-ST-segment elevation myocardial ischemia (NSTEMI), unstable angina, and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). These conditions are high-risk manifestations of atherosclerosis in the coronary artery and significant causes of utilization of emergency services and hospitalization (Kumar and Cannon, 2009). STEMI causes 30% of all acute coronary syndromes in Australia (Harper and Lefkovits, 2010). This paper will describe the expected presentation, pathophysiology, ECG findings, pre-hospital management, and initial 24-hour management of STEMI in hospitals settings. These aspects will be described ...

Abstract

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an infection which often develops as a result of poor handling of mechanical ventilation. Such as, poor nursing practice in caring for patients with difficulty in breathing can lead to microorganisms entering patient’s body through a tube inserted especially via mouth and nose of the patient. When these microorganisms get into the respiratory system they cause lung infection which is referred to as ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). In preventing this infection, it is important that nurses adopt best practices to reduce the incidence of VAP and provide quality care that is aimed at improving the ...
