Here is all the work I put together for this project
Mattern, Karen A. "Nursing." Magill’S Medical Guide (Online Edition) (2014) Research Starters. Web. 23 Sept. 2014.
Nursing is a career to be taken very seriously. This article talks about the different types of nursing, the origin of nursing, and the common misconceptions about nursing. "Throughout a nurse’s career, they will become more involved with several different areas in the healthcare field (Mattern 1)." Nurses should be like the mother away from home for their patients, treating them with love and care and making them feel like their sickness is gone for that short period of time they are visiting. Nurses should be confident to make the patient feel secure in the fact that they are being taken care of to the best of the nurse’s ability. My source is a .com. Even though commercial sources like this are generically very biased, I used Galileo. Galileo is an extremely credible source. This website is filled with only the best and most credible articles on millions of different topics. The article I used is everything anybody needs to know about nursing. It informed me about the different aspects of nursing and all about the history of this field. Because I want to be a nurse, this article provided very useful and credible information for me to gain knowledge about my future career.
"Congestive Heart Failure." Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia (2014): 1p. 1. Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia. Web. 19 Apr. 2015.
Congestive Heart Failure, or CHF, is a condition in which the heart weakens and is no longer able to pump blood through the body effeciently. Symptoms of CHF result from an edema forming in the tissues of the body. Some symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, swelling of ankles, and difficulty breathing.
"People with heart failure cannot exert themselves, and they
easily become short of breath and tired."(Funk & Wagnalls New World 1). Congestvie Heart Failure is just a type of heart failure in which the fluids in the organs become conjested. Hence, the name congestive heart failure. Some potential quotes would be "Physicians classify congestive heart failure into two main types. In one type, called systolic dysfunction, the heart cannot contract properly, reducing its ability to pump blood. In the other type, called diastolic dysfunction, the heart is less able to relax and thus fill its internal pumping chambers before each heartbeat."
Because it explains the 2 different types of heart failure. This
source I used is a .com source. Normally, a .com source would be
kind of untrustworthy, but because I found this off of a credible
source, Galileo, I know the information is valid.
