Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

28.7K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

20.4K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

981
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...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.3K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features01:20

COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features

1.7K
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung conditions that progressively worsen over time, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. This cluster of diseases collectively leads to a gradual and irreversible decline in lung function over time.
The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Health
    • Maternal Health
    • Climate Change Impacts

    Background:

    • Extreme weather events linked to climate change are increasing.
    • These events disrupt health services, water, air quality, and increase disease risk for pregnant individuals.
    • Nurses require specialized knowledge to address these emerging health threats.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To raise awareness of clinical nursing care for pregnant women facing climate change impacts.
    • To highlight the need for nursing interventions addressing heat, wildfires, hurricanes, and flooding.
    • To emphasize the integration of environmental risks into maternal healthcare.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on climate change and extreme weather events.
    • Analysis of health impacts on pregnant women and families.
    • Synthesis of nursing care strategies for climate-related risks.

    Main Results:

    • Prolonged heat waves, wildfires, hurricanes, and flooding present significant health challenges.
    • Access to healthcare, safe water, and clean air are compromised.
    • Increased incidence of vector-borne diseases affects maternal and family health.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses must be equipped to assess and manage climate change-related health risks in pregnant women.
    • Accurate assessments and discharge planning are crucial for addressing environmental exposures.
    • Proactive nursing care is essential for protecting maternal and family health in the context of climate change.
