Explain using anatomical position and terminology the following common medical complaints (headache, indigestion, asthma, tummy ache)
I am to write in a COMPLETE Sentence a description of the “faux wound” that is located at the surface of the body at the TIP OF THE SWORD.
In my sentence I need to include:
Left vs right side of the body
Regional terms (e.g., brachial, femoral, pectoral, antebrachial, axillary, among many others…see your PPTX for a list)
Orientation terms (e.g., anterior, poster, lateral, medial, proximal, distal, superior, inferior).
Bone, suture, muscle landmarks that will help you pinpoint the location.
DISTANCES (you can use inches or cm) as needed to increase specificity.
Bret is a CST working with Dr. Jones on an open cholecystectomy procedure. Both of Dr. Jones’s hands are occupied, so she asks Bret to inject contrast medium into the cystic duct under her direct supervision.
What scope of practice issues can you identify?
Is this act different from injecting medication into an IV line, and if so, how?
What do you think that Bret should do in this situation?
How might Dr. Jones respond if Bret refuses to comply with her request?
How can Bret know what the best course of action would be in this situation?
