Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

652
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Thermal Stress01:09

Thermal Stress

2.5K
If the temperature of an object is changed while it is prevented from expanding or contracting, the object is subjected to stress. The stress is compressive if the object expands in the absence of constraint and tensile if it contracts. This stress resulting from temperature change is known as thermal stress. It can be quite large and can cause damage. To avoid this stress, engineers may design components so they can expand and contract freely. For instance, on highways, gaps are deliberately...

Thermal expansion and Thermal stress: Problem Solving

San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge is exposed to temperatures ranging from -15 °C to 40 °C. At its coldest, the main span of the bridge is 1275 m long. Assuming that the bridge is made entirely of steel, what is the change in its length between these temperatures?
To solve the problem, first, identify the known and unknown quantities. The initial length (L) of the bridge is 1275 m, the coefficient of linear expansion (α) for steel is 12 x 10-6/°C, and the change in...

Cold Weather Concreting

When freshly poured concrete is exposed to freezing temperatures before it has set, the water within the concrete can freeze. This expansion disrupts the setting process, delays chemical reactions necessary for hardening, and increases the volume of pores within the hardened concrete, which weakens its overall structure. If the concrete manages to reach an appreciable strength before it freezes, the damage can be somewhat mitigated.
To counteract the negative impacts of cold weather, ensuring...

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

1.1K
Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...

Temperature and Thermal Equilibrium

6.8K
Heat and temperature are essential concepts for everyone every day. The study of heat and temperature is part of an area of physics known as thermodynamics. It is not always easy to distinguish heat and temperature.
The concept of temperature has evolved from the common concepts of hot and cold. The scientific definition of temperature explains more than just our sense of hot and cold. Temperature is operationally defined as the quantity measured with a thermometer. Furthermore, temperature is...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Student Preparedness
  • Tertiary Studies Transition

Background:

  • Many first-year nursing students are underprepared for tertiary studies, facing challenges from diverse student populations, environmental changes, technical issues, and work demands.
  • This unpreparedness often leads to apprehension and anxiety during the crucial transition period into higher education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a "Unit Warm-Up" strategy on first-year nursing students' preparedness and understanding.
  • To assess changes in student anxiety and motivation levels following participation in the intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A quantitative, online pre- and post-survey design was employed.
  • First-year nursing students participated in a "Unit Warm-Up" strategy before a subject, with data collected over four years (2019-2022).
  • Surveys measured subject preparedness, anxiety, motivation, and understanding of learning outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The Unit Warm-Up significantly enhanced student preparedness and understanding from 2019 to 2021, with a notable decrease in anxiety.
  • In 2022, no significant changes were observed, potentially due to regional flooding.
  • Student motivation remained consistent, and the strategy showed a positive correlation with overall pass rates and student satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • The Unit Warm-Up strategy is a valuable tool for improving the transition into tertiary education for nursing students.
  • External factors like pandemics and environmental disasters can significantly disrupt student readiness and anxiety levels, highlighting the need for adaptable support systems.
