Blood tests can indicate whether or not the kidneys are functioning properly or if they are failing to eliminate waste. Urine tests can also show how quickly bodily wastes are being eliminated, and whether or not the kidneys are leaking abnormal amounts of protein (Walser & Thorpe 2004: 38)
Any advanced practice nurse, who wished to carry out clinical research - just like other researchers or physician - need to keep in mind that patients also play important role as the part who provide chance to work together with the staff. Nurses may need to explore patients' history and medical background, for example "patients' compliance, substance abuse, and an assessment of the patient's ability to comprehend study procedures" (Counts and Holmes, 2002)
¶ … Hemodialysis on End Stage Renal Disease Patients and the Increasing Role for the Nurse It is a difficult condition of a kidney failure when one's kidney could no longer carry out the proper metabolism system to eliminate waste products. Kidney is the essential organ that is responsible in waste elimination, including others like detoxification process of drugs and toxic materials, also in controlling water balance, salt balance, blood pressures and secrete hormones (Crawford, 2002)
Nurses are required to be more independent and able to help themselves, as they need to teach the patients to do so. Many follow up actions related to the maintenance of patient's condition can be researched through literature review (Thorogood) such as integrated programs of any hemodialysis-related studies from journals, details in effects of chronicity, and related diet advice for the patients to follow
Literature review There is a myriad of current literature dealing with prenatal care and education. One recent study (2013) resulted in a statement concerning a clear improvement in the prenatal detection rates of complex heart malformations (Asplin, Dellgren, Conner, 2013, p
56). Discovering literature that either proves or disproves the benefits of a good educational background for prenatal care is a simple matter; a 2012 study found that college students who completed a pregnancy course had an increased awareness of the positive and negative factors that can affect pregnancy that was 13% at the beginning of the course and 89 -- 93% by the end of the course (Delgado, p
Obstensibly Palin could have chosen to have the fetus aborted, but chose instead to raise the infant even though she knew the problems the child would face as well as how difficult it would be for her and her family. As another report determined "Palin spoke gratefully about her strong family network and alluded to her ability to access resources while acknowledging others not as fortunate" (Pergament, 2013, p
Another theory allows that parents who opt to test for prenatal disabilities allows them to then have choices as to what actions to take. One famous case was Sarah Palin's amniocentesis that allowed her to express her gratitude for the procedure that gave her a chance to "prepare for her son's birth" (Westfall, 2008)
Though reports exist on factors concerning HbA1c in individuals having established T1D, no published research can be found on the relationship of HbA1c in terms of socioeconomic and diabetes-specific factors, during the disease's early stages, in a sample representing children treated in United States (U.S.) pediatric diabetes centers (Redondoa, Connor & Ruedyb, 2014)
Qualitative research using inductive methodology involves assimilating all data that answer the research question, and then filtering out the closest answer to the research question to draw the best-fit inference. In such studies, it is relevant to carry out a systematic literature review (Burns et al
Generally, kidney transplants in infants result in better mortality than in later stages. The mortality rate for patients with kidney transplants whether grown up children or adults do not vary by much (Henry & Dharnidharka, 2008)
They reveal that haemodialysis centers in community constructs face major problems in their follow up care. The patients need knowledgeable, compassionate, and trained hands at renal pathology and diseases, in addition to being alert to extreme fatigue faced by patients that restricts normal movements and has an effect on their quality of life (Horigan, Rocchiccioli, & Trimm, 2012)
The allograft outcomes have been positive, too. There is an absence of such affirmation, however in longer-term care as the treated children are required to move out from pediatric care to adult care centers in later years (Samuel, et al
