Explanation / Answer
1.Mr. S was involved in a motor vehicle accident that resulted in severe head trauma and a spintal cord injury in the sacral area. Since the accident, he has had difficulty swallowing his food.SCI symptoms usually appear immediately after the injury. However, symptoms can develop slowly, if an infection or tumor is gradually increasing pressure on the spinal cord. General symptoms are as follows:.weakness, poor coordination or paralysis, particularly below the level of the injury.numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation.loss of bowel or bladder control.pain
2.The diffrance is theparasympathetic nervous system (PNS)controls homeostasis and the body at rest and is responsible for the body's "rest and digest" function. Thesympathetic nervous system (SNS)controls the body's responses to a perceived threat and is responsible for the "fight or flight" response. The PNS and SNS are part of the ANS, or autonomic nervous system which is responsiblefor the involuntary functions of the human body.
3.man ( Mr. S experience anorexia) with previously known duodenalulcer disease presents with complaints of persistent vomiting for the past 36 hours. The vomit is clear-looking and acidic in taste. He has no abdominal pain. Prior to the vomiting, he had difficulty with solid foods causing "fullness" in the stomach and he had been taking only liquids for one week. His heartburn had been aggravated at the time of the "fullness", but antacids did not help and he did not seek medical attention until today. He complains of being dizzy when he stands up. His blood pressure changes from 120/70 when lying to 105/55 when standing, his pulse changes from 100 to 130.
4.Drugsused to treat nausea and vomiting are called antiemetics. Many types of antiemetics can decrease the severity of nausea, although most require a medical evaluation and prescription. Medicines available over-the-counter are mainly recommended for use in motion sickness and for cases of mild nausea.
