Tuesday April 13th

Uni:
• Clinical Assessment & Decisions workshop
• Met with Medications group to plan group assignment. We decided to do a drug brochure about Panadeine Forte.

Lectures:

• Gastro-Intestinal Tract Medications
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease
• Assessing Cardiovascular System

Nursing Skills Videos:

• Using a Gemini Automatic Intravenous Infusion Pump
• Establishing and Maintaining a Sterile Field
• Reconstituting Powdered Medication – Rubber Capped Vials (for injection)
• Bathing a Client in Bed

TV:
• Blood & Guts: A History of Surgery - Fixing Faces. This episode was about reconstructive surgery - noses, face transplants, cleft lip and so on. Definitely the most horrific episode so far in this series, especially all the soldiers who suffered burns to their faces in world war 1 & 2. It was really sad.
• Operation Live: A neurosurgeon removed a tumor from a woman's pituitary glad, accessing it through her nose and using an endoscope to look inside. Although the tumor was only small it was causing excessive amounts of growth hormone to be secreted from the gland and consequently she had enlarge feet and hands. This was the last episode in this series.
