Write a paragraph as to why drug abuse happens?

Answers

Answer 1
Many factors influence whether an adolescent tries drugs, including the availability of drugs within the neighborhood, community, and school and whether the adolescent’s friends are using them. The family environment is also important: Violence, physical or emotional abuse, mental illness, or drug use in the household increase the likelihood an adolescent will use drugs.
Answer 2

Answer:

People use drugs for many reasons: they want to feel good, stop feeling bad, or perform better in school or at work, or they are curious because others are doing it and they want to fit in. The last reason is very common among teens.

Drugs excite the parts of the brain that make you feel good. But after you take a drug for a while, the feel-good parts of your brain get used to it. Then you need to take more of the drug to get the same good feeling. Soon, your brain and body must have the drug just to feel normal. You feel sick, awful, anxious, and irritable without the drug. You no longer have the good feelings that you had when you first used the drug. This is true if you use illegal drugs or if you misuse prescription drugs. Misuse includes taking a drug differently than how your doctor tells you to (taking more or crushing pills to "shoot up" or snort), taking someone else’s prescription, or taking it just to get “high.”

Drug use can start as a way to escape—but it can quickly make your life worse. Besides just not feeling well, different drugs can affect your brain and body in many different ways. Here are a few:

Alcohol: You might have trouble making decisions, solving problems, remembering,

and learning.

Marijuana: You might forget things you just learned or have trouble focusing.

Prescription pain relievers (opioids) or sedatives: Your heart rate and breathing

may slow to dangerous levels, leading to coma or death.

Heroin: Similar to opioid pain relievers, your heart rate and breathing may slow

to dangerous levels, leading to coma or death.

Prescription stimulants (e.g., ADHD medications): Your body temperature could

get dangerously high, or you may have an irregular heartbeat, heart failure, or seizures.

Cocaine and methamphetamine: You may get violent, have panic attacks or feel

paranoid, or have a heart attack.

MDMA (Ecstasy or Molly): You may feel confused for a long time after you take it

and have problems with attention, memory, and sleep.

LSD: Your emotions may change quickly, and you might not be able to recognize

reality; frightening flashbacks can happen long after use.

Inhalants: Your heart, kidneys, lungs, and brain may get damaged; even a healthy

person can suffer heart failure and death within minutes of sniffing a lot of an inhalant.

Many drugs can also make driving a car unsafe. Marijuana can slow reaction time, make you judge time and distance poorly, and decrease coordination (how you move your body). Cocaine and methamphetamine can make a driver aggressive and reckless. Certain kinds of sedatives, called benzodiazepines, can make you dizzy or drowsy. These effects can lead to crashes that can cause injuries and even death.

What is counselling in health care?

In health care, there are different situations such as handling the patients, their mental status, medications, different types of care, their psychology, and their parents' psychology too. Depending upon the need, there are different professionals in health care sectors such as surgery doctors, nurses, counsellor etc.

Doctors perform surgical procedures on patients, such as cardiac surgery. A psychologist and counsellor assist patients in dealing with their psychology during surgery, medication, and other procedures because some patients are unable to handle the stress. They console their parents too and tell them the consequences of the procedure. Physiotherapists, for example, assist patients who have difficulty moving.

Hence, Miriam should console her parents by saying, "Don't worry." I'm sure everything will be fine" to make them mentally strong for the procedure.

Two prevantative measures that can help in combating risk behaviors

Answers

Answer:

Two preventive measures that can help combat risky behaviors are: involving the person in extracurricular activities and allowing the person to talk openly about anything.

Explanation:

Risky behaviors are particularly common among the adolescents because it is at this stage that they are mostly hasty when it comes to making decisions. So there's a high chance for them to engage in risky behaviors of cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, illegal drugs, unprotective sex, etc. In order to prevent such untoward occurrence, it is best to have preventive measures.

If the person will be involved in extracurricular activities–other than academic activities, then the person will have no chance of thinking about risky behaviors. He will remain focused and busy. It's also a great way for him to nourish friendships with people of the same interest.

Another way is to allow the person to be open to you about anything. In order to do this, you have to be non-judgmental when listening. This will allow him to feel at ease and be comfortable about sharing whatever is troubling him. It will let him know that someone is listening and he won't feel alone. He'll also get the support and advice that he needs, which will prevent from doing risky behaviors.

You are working 7am to 7 p.m and it is now 8:30 am. Millie norris has insulin-dependent diabetes and has been hospitalized because her blood sugar has been out of control. She is acting differently than she did yesterday; she is awake but confused, and her skin is flushed, hot, and dry. She slept normally on the previous shift according to the report. You perform an FsBS and find that it is 475 mg/dL. You find Regular Insulin 8 units charted on the MARS for the previous evening at 2115.

Answers

Answer:

D: The patient has uncontrolled blood sugar levels. She is awake, but confused and her skin is red, hot and dry.

A: Sugar levels have not yet been regulated, which explains the patient's condition.

I: The patient was admitted to promote better treatment. an FsBS was carried out

A: The patient started sleeping normally. FsBS resulted in 475 mg / dL, 8 units of regular insulin were found for the night before 2115.

Explanation:

A narrative chart is a type of recording quick and succinct data about a patient's health status, as well as everything that happened to him and all the treatments performed while he was in the hospital. This is so that other nurses and doctors have a sense of what to do when contacting the patient.

The narrative graph above was made using the model called DAIR, where the information is based on what each letter represents. The letter "D" represents what the nurse was able to visualize about the patient's condition. The letter "A" represents the assessment to form a pre-conclusion about the patient's condition. The letter "I" represents the interventions that were performed to help the patient.  The letter "R" means the response that the patient had to the interventions and treatments to which he was submitted.
