Mate Choice01:20

Mate Choice

11.8K
Mate choice—the decision about whom to mate with—is a type of natural selection, since animals must reproduce to pass down their genes. Mate choice is also called intersexual selection because the behavior occurs between the sexes.

Natural Selection and Mating Preferences01:06

Natural Selection and Mating Preferences

564
The principle of natural selection posits that organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This principle is closely intertwined with mating preferences, a key aspect of sexual selection, which evolutionary psychologists believe is driven by instincts to propagate one's genes. Such instincts significantly influence mating behaviors and preferences between genders.
Females, due to their biological roles in conception, pregnancy, and nursing,...

Nursing Diagnosis

4.2K
Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
The nursing diagnosis focuses on evidence-based...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I

4.0K
A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.
There are thirteen domains...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.8K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

4.0K
Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Reproductive Health in Companion Animals

Background:

  • Mismating, or termination of pregnancy, is a common reproductive procedure for female dogs (bitches) and cats (queens).
  • Ovariohysterectomy (spaying) is the standard surgical treatment for unwanted pregnancies when future breeding is not intended.
  • Reproductively valuable animals may be candidates for medical termination of pregnancy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current medical and surgical approaches for mismating in companion animals.
  • To highlight the factors influencing the choice of medical therapy for pregnancy termination.
  • To identify the lack of FDA-approved treatments for mismating in North American dogs and cats.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and veterinary practices regarding mismating and pregnancy termination in bitches and queens.
  • Analysis of criteria for selecting medical treatments, including safety, efficacy, drug availability, and gestational stage.
  • Examination of the current regulatory status of mismating treatments in North America.

Main Results:

  • Surgical ovariohysterectomy is the primary method for non-valuable animals.
  • Medical termination options exist for reproductively valuable animals, with choices based on specific parameters.
  • No drugs are currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating mismating in dogs or cats.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management strategies for mismating exist, balancing surgical and medical interventions.
  • The absence of FDA-approved medical treatments necessitates careful consideration of available options and their limitations.
  • Further research and regulatory approval are needed for dedicated medical mismating therapies in companion animals.
