Should all elderly patients who are admitted through the ED be screened for UTIs if they are showing symptoms of dementia? Why or why not
Homework Answers
Elderly patients who all are admitted through the emergency department may be in the severe forms of dementia. In that situation, the severe form of dementia will be presented with symptoms of behavioural disturbances along with aggression and anger out burst. Most of the time it will be difficult for them to manage at home and even they passess urine and stool in the bed or in the bedroom. So, in these cases it will be better to have an evaluation for UTI because it will be very difficult for them to express these things by their own.

Clinical trials identify patients through a series of sequential mechanisms. The first step is to select patients from the general population who are interested and might be participants in the study, producing a "screened population". The second step is to make sure each patient in the screened population is eligible for the study by meeting all of the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria; this generates an “eligible population". The third step is to obtain an informed consent from the patient...

Medical saline, or saline solution, is used intravenously for many if not most patients admitted to hospitals or who undergo procedures at hospitals. This solution is 0.9 % by mass NaCl. Curiously it does not have a pH of 7.00, as one would expect based on our understanding of acid base phenomena. Using your understanding of Acid-Base, equilibrium, and your soon to be acquired understanding of solubility, please explain, using all appropriate equations, ICE tables etc. the following, explain: What...
