What is a cerebrovascular accident (CVA)? A CVA results in brain damage secondary to decreased   delivery to the brain. There are three cerebral arteries that branch from the carotid arteries (internal and external). What are they and to which area of the brain do they supply blood? When a patient is suspected to have suffered a stroke, what are the initial steps of care? (Procedures, imaging studies, labs, medications, etc.) Compare and contrast the two major classifications of stroke. (What is the cause of neurological deficits in each? Who is primarily at risk for each type of stroke? Atrial fibrillation is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Why? What is the goal systolic blood pressure (SBP) following a stroke? Why? If an ischemic stroke is suspected, tPA (Alteplase) should be given within _________________ (hours/minutes). In a patient diagnosed with ischemic stroke, what are some contraindications to giving tPA (Alteplase)? When looking at the prognosis of the two major types of stroke, which tends to be worse?

In this lab you will analyze results of the patients' urinalysis from a routine physical.Fluid Regulation in the BodyTo understand body regulation, we will examine the endocrine, lymphatic, and urinary systems—and the roles that they play.The glands of the endocrine system regulate hormones throughout the body. The endocrine system contains trillions of cells that operate in coordination with one another. It is a collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate many body functions such as growth, metabolism, tissue function, sexual function, sleep, and mood.SHOW LESSThe lymphatic system helps regulate unwanted chemicals and toxins in the body through a system of tissues and organs. Without the lymphatic system, we would not be able to fight off disease. It drains fluid (called lymph) that has leaked from the blood vessels into the tissues and empties it back into the bloodstream via the lymph nodes.The urinary system also gets rid of waste from the blood. The kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from the blood. Urine travels from the kidneys through two thin tubes called ureters in order to fill the bladder. Our body depends on this system to regulate the fluid balance within our body.Competency MapCHECK YOUR PROGRESSUse this online tool to track your performance and progress through your course.Toggle DrawerResourcesView the Human Body Systems Organization infographic by selecting a group and learning how these groups work.Complete the interactive media activity to learn more about the urinary system for your assessment, Urinary System.The KidneysWatch the Kidneys presentation (07:16 minutes) to help you better understand the function of the urinary system.Lymphatic, Urinary, and Endocrine SystemsIreland, K.

Urinalysis. https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003579.htmAssessment InstructionsOverviewThis assignment is about the urinary system. The assessment addresses the way the kidney couples waste removal with homeostatic mechanisms for regulating blood volume, blood pressure, and the balance of ions in the blood.Kidneys have a tremendous capacity for processing fluid, so much so that we can live quite well with only one kidney. However, the loss of both kidneys requires intervention by dialysis to replace the waste removal capability, and hormone replacement to maintain other aspects of homeostasis.The high-capacity filtration capability of the kidneys results from millions of nephrons, the basic functional unit of the kidney. The nephron plays a role in the three physiological processes of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.This lab will illustrate the purpose and importance of the urinalysis in a routine physical. In the following lab, you will review the lab results of Tanya's friends Marcus and Darlene. Review their labs to see what information is provided in their urine. Be ready to explain why each patient's condition would explain their lab results in the lab scenario, especially what diabetes is and the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.Urinary Lab.InstructionsFor this assessment, you will complete a series of responses within the lab, complete an assessment at the end of the lab, and write a brief summary of your conclusion about the lab.To complete this assessment:Fill out the items requested in the lab.Complete the assessment at the end of the lab.Save a pdf of your responses and download it to your computer. You will have an option to download a pdf within the lab.Write a one-paragraph summary detailing new knowledge acquired in the lab.Attach both documents when submitting the assessment.Make sure that you read the Homework: Urinary Lab Scoring Guide prior to submitting your assessments to ensure you have met all of the expectations for this assessment.It is recommended that you review the scoring guide prior to completing the la as most work will be completed within the lab.Assessment Requirements Your summary should meet the following requirements:Length: Submit one double-spaced page.Written communication: Ensure written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.Standard formatting: Include one-inch margins, appropriate headers, and a title page.Font and font size: Use Times New Roman, 12-point font.Note: If you use assistive technology or any alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact DisabilityServices@Capella.edu with any access-related questions or to request accommodations.
