Home nursing beyb-eeeeh

1.  If you are a good home nurse, what are the various home nursing techniques that you need to apply that will make the patient feel comfortable and speed up the recovery?

If I am a good home nurse, I'll monitor the patient's vital signs and I'll bath the patient. These will help the patient feel comfortable and speed up his recovery.

2.  Why should the home nurse monitor the vital signs of the patient?

One of the effective ways to help my patient speed up his recovery is to monitor his vital signs. Monitoring his vital signs allows me to identify problems early and take measures to prevent them from becoming serious.

3.  How do you take the body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure of the patient?

Your body temperature can be measured in many locations on your body using a clinical thermometer. The mouth, ear, armpit, and rectum are the most commonly used places.
The pulse rate is how many times one can feel a pulse every minute. So, how do you take the pulse rate? First, locate the pulse then count the beats. Tapos :)
Respiration rate is the rate at which you're breathing, is an important test, and requires only a clock and a few minutes of free time. Count the number of times the stomach or chest rises for 15 seconds and multiply by 4, or for 30 seconds and multiply by 2. This tells you the respiratory rate per minute.

You don't always have to go to your doctor's office to have your blood pressure checked; you can monitor your own blood pressure at home. How? First, locate your pulse. Secure the cuff. Inflate and deflate the cuff. Then, record the blood pressure. (http://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure/guide/hypertension-home-monitoring?)

4.  What are some practices that the home nurse must follow that will promote comfort to the patient?

The home nurse must keep the patient's room clean and tidy at all times for a relaxed atmosphere. The home nurse should observe proper hygiene at all times to avoid infection and to ensure speedy recovery of the patient. And the home nurse must assure the patient of full support and understanding by maintaining a cheerful disposition.

5.  How will you differentiate signs from symptoms of illnesses and diseases?

Signs are what a doctor sees. Symptoms are what the patient experiences.

6.  If you are the doctor, what will be your basis in giving the diagnosis for your patient?

I will perform various laboratory or imaging tests on my patient. And the result would be the basis in giving the diagnosis for my patient.

Tralala

1. What significant insights have you learned from the topic?

Medicines can help people cure their illness.

2. How does proper administering of medicines help our patients in their recovery?

Prevention is always better than cure.

I CONCLUDE THAT..... MEDICINES ARE VERY IMPORTANT :)

Holt keyr, okay?! ....OKAY.

Health care (or healthcare) is the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in humans. Health care is delivered by practitioners in medicine, chiropractic, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, allied health, and other care providers. It refers to the work done in providing primary care, secondary care and tertiary care, as well as in public health. (ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care)

Why do you think health care to the individual, to the family and to the community is important? For me, health care is important because without health care, it is not possible for us to stay healthy. We can get illnesses and other impairments, but with health care, we can prevent all of these.

I can say that... health care is important to have a long life. Kaboom! I. THANK. YOU.

Resaykol ba kamo?

So yeah! It's a group project and our group made 4 recycled products; Vase, Necklace, Bracelet and a piggy bank. We did these @ Giro Quemado's place. (Oha! Special mention. HAHAHA hi Gi :p)

Eto na.....Ganito kasi yun. We used bottles for our vase and we designed it. We made 3 vases, and there's this one vase na sobrang ganda ba! Parang sikat na artist talaga gumawa ;) And I'll tell you, it was made by meeee! Galing ko talaga! AHAHAHA jklang ba! :p Next.. the necklace. We made the necklace using bottle caps. We asked bottle caps from a store. Ohdba! Kapal talaga ng muks namin ;) Dejklg! So yun nga! Then we also used other materials for the design. The bracelet that we made was made of  used beaaads! And we also made a piggy bank na mukhang birdhouse because there's a fake bird inside the house. EDI BIRDHOUSE! HAHAHA ang high ko :( Huhu :( =))

Anyways, I had fun while me and my groupmates were doing our products. We did not just do what we were supposed to do but we also had a bonding. AHIHIHI :p So when the products were finished already, I felt happy because it turned out good and not fail. I was also happy because we were able to help our environment in our own simple ways. It was a success to do such things yo! :)

Thank you ♥

Before our Christmas Break, Maam Gelina asked us to make a pop-up thank you card for the people who we want to thank. When she said that, I suddenly thought of my parents. So I decided to give them the thank you card that I will be doing. Since I................. is such an irresponsible mammal, I did nothing productive the whole break. All I did was to sleep when the sun has already risen and wake up very late in the afternoon. It's an effect of being a fangirl of Daniel Padilla ya know ;) Until the resuming of classes came, I still haven't did my pop-up card. Since a lot of us in the class didn't do it yet, Maam gave us until January 9. Since I care for my grade too (Chowsss! :p), I made the pop-up card when I got home. So there, my momma helped on doing it. It took almost 2 hours for me to finish it. So yuh, mother helped me but she didn't know that the card I was doing was for them, mah parents. While writing, I feel happy because I am writing a letter where I can say how thankful I am to my pehrents. Parang ang gaan sa pakiramdam. AJUJU So yeah,  I was already writing the letter inside the card, shempre pinaalis ko si Motherdear :p HAHA ayun, natapos kow rin! AJEJE mahiya ka :p De joke lang. Peace tayo! =))))))

Here's a picture of my card. Wag ka! Effort yan :p HAHAHA

Ateneo Jam, HS Night, Atfest 2012 ;)

 Ateneo Jam 2012 :3
The Ateneo Jam 2012 started on November 30, 2012 and ended on December 2, 2012. On the first day of Jam, I went to Main by 10am. When I arrived there, the gates of MPCC were already closed. So me and Bolyn stayed outside. Waited for Kiefer to come out. When I saw him, I went crazy. Wahahaha! I was screaming, screaming and screaming. Like OMG! FANGIRL MODE: ON!! Lots of people were running after him. And yes, I AM ONE OF THEM. OMG OMG MEMORIES HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
wala akong pakialam sa itsura ko nun basta mahabol lang si Kiefer. That's how crazy I am. Pero, DUUUH! This is now or never! Dejk. Pero yeah, I was so desperate to have a picture with him. Or just an autograph of him would calm me down! After a few hours, the other Ateneo schools already started playing basketball. And again, the MPCC was crowded and the gates were closed. So Kay and I, stayed outside where we can see Kiefer clearly because he was just sitting in front of us. So many fangirls were at the gate screaming, "Kiefer!" "Ang gwapo mooo!" and such. At sa sobraaang pagkadesperado namin, dumaan kami sa may bakod sa likod t nakapasok sa MPCC! BOOM! Here we are Kiefer! Wahaha! Ayun nasa loob na kame, dun pa kame dumaan sa taas ng stage ha! Kung saan kitang-kita ng mga tao sa bleachers plus pinagalitan pa kame ni Sir Pelayo. Waaaah, KAHIHIYAN! -_____- HAHAHAHAHA Basta! Para akong aso na sunod ng sunod kay Kiefer. By the way! I got a picture with Thirdy Ravena, Kiefer's younger brother and Matthew Nieto! Omg Matthew <3 The 3-day Ateneo Jam was fun. Though, bitin siya :( HAHA

 


HS Night 2k12 B)
Boom! All I can say is... it's the best HS night so far ;) Wahihi. Xavier University Athletes and some ADDU Athletes joined us in partying hard! Danced with some of them. I, we, had so much fuuuuuuuun! Seriously :D

Atfest 12
The usual Ateneo fiesta lang :) But there's a new ride, the Spider ride(?). Idk! HAHA rode it for like 6 or 7 times. Omggg! HAHAHA cool man ;) There were times during the Atfest when we practiced for our role play project in Filipino and for our Ragragsakan and "Star ng Pasko" for the culminating :) During the Atfest, we went to Wired or iSync to play Counter Strike. We're doing this since last year. Addict lang ;) So yeah, I had fun =))

Trying hard...

•  Plate No.2 (Covering of the drawing book using recycled materials and plastic cover)

OMG. I suck at covering. Huhu! It was so so fail. Okay, here it goes... First, I got three construction papers; Yellow Green, Pink & Violet. I divided them and cut the bottom part of each. So the cover of my drawing book was divided into three colors. When I got home, I cut out letters from magazines. I pasted every letter I cut and it formed "Sheena Ali". It was on the top part of the drawing book. Beside it, I pasted two pictures of mine. I also printed some words like Beb, Dongs, Dung, Ganda, Bff, Mommy, Doi & Babe. These are the "tawagan" of me and the people I love :) After I printed them, I pasted them in the middle part of the book. I also printed the word "Unnamed ♥". It's the biggest design of all designs in the cover of my drawing book. *wink* ;) It's our barkada's name. Be jealous :p HAHA! Okay, so I pasted it on the bottom part of the book. After I put all the designs, I covered my drawing book with the plastic cover. Then... Done! :) 

• Plate No.3 (Designing the first page) 

The first page of my drawing book was just simple. I didn't make use of the construction papers or magazines, I just made a lettering of my name using a pencil, then I traced it with a marker, and after tracing it, I colored it :)

• Plate No.4 (Folding and Cutting of Basic Shapes and Forms) 

a) Rectangles 

Cutting rectangles using construction papers was just easy. Didn't even had a drop of sweat :) I made buildings, houses, butterflies, clouds, sun, trees out of the big and small rectangles I cut. I used colorful construction papers for these. I had fun :)

b)  Squares

Just like cutting rectangles.. cutting squares was just easy. Out of the square-shaped colored papers I cut, I formed something. I forgot what it was. HAHA but yeah, it was cool :)

c) Circles

Circles? Ha-ha. Cutting circles was a bit hard for me. But still, I was able to do it. #HappyKid HAHA anyways, I made a smiley face out of small and big circles.

d) Stars ( 5-pointed, 8-pointed, 4-pointed )

Stars... Uh-oh! Stars. Waaah! I had a hard time doing this 3 kinds of stars. Seriously! -__- But with the help of Ayra Sadain (Oh! Special Mention! HAHA), I was able to make it. Thanks Sads ;) Hihi! I had fun, though :)

• Plate No.5 (Expanding Shapes & Forms)

e) Expanding Rectangles

Expanding Rectangles was just easy. But you must be careful when you expand it because you might rip it off.

f) Expanding Squares

Expanding Squares was just like Expanding Rectangles, it was just square-shaped. HAHA :p When I expanded this, I expanded it very sloooow so that it will expand perfectleh :)

g) Expanding Circles

First, I made a circle then I performed the given procedure for I will be able to expand it. When I was expanding it, I was very careful. I was a bit afraid that I might rip it. Fortunately, I was able to make it :) What. Is. Happeh.
