Water, Natural and Artificial

-


In making an artificial mineral water it must be remembered that it is seldom possible to reproduce the water by merely combining its chemical components. In other words, the analysis of the water cannot serve as a basis from which to prepare it, because even though all of the components were put together, many would be found insoluble, and others would form new chemical combinations, so that the result would differ widely from the mineral water imitated.
 
For example, carbonate of magnesia and carbonate of lime, which are important ingredients in most mineral waters, will not make a clear solution unless freshly precipitated. Hence, when these are to be reproduced in a mineral water it is customary to employ other substances which will dissolve at once, and which will, upon combining, produce these salts. The order in which the salts are added is also a very important matter, for by dissolving the salts separately and then carefully combining 'them, solutions may be effected which would be impossible were all the salts added together to the water in the portable fountain.

MINOR DISORDERS OF NEW BORN AND ITS MANAGEMENT - NURSING ASSIGNMENT

-
INTRODUCTION         Neonatal health problems are frequently found ranging from minor physical or physiological peculiarities to the serious life threatening illnesses. Minor problems should not be ignored lightly without adequate assessment of the conditions. Early diagnosis and management of the serious problems help to overcome life long disability and to reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality. Nurses are responsible to manage the minor problems and to detect the serious problems for early and prompt management along with appropriate nursing interventions and support to the mother. MINOR DISORDERS OF NEW BORN 1. VOMITING         Vomiting is one of the common manifestations in the neonates. Regurgitation after feeds should not be confused with vomiting. Mucus vomiting often hinged with blood is quite common soon after birth. It is due to irritation often gastric mucosa by the swallowed materials during birth. Causes: ·         Dietic ·         Over feeding

KANGAROO CARE - NURSING ASSIGNMENT

INTRODUCTION         Caring low birth weight baby is a great challenge for the neonatal care unit and the family. Number of low birth weighs baby is still for beyond the expected target in our country. The cost of the quality management of these babies is increasing day by day. Kangaroo care is low cost approach for the care of low birth weight baby. This method of care was introduced and popularized by Dr.Edger Ray, Dr.Martinez and Dr.Charpak in late 1970s. DEFINITION         Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a special way of caring low birth weight infants by skin to skin contact if promotes their health and welling by effective thermal control, breast feeding and bonding. KMC is initiated in hospital and continued at home. COMPONENTS OF KMC         In KMC, the infant is continuously kept in skin contact by the mother and breastfed exclusively to the utmost extent.         The two components of KMC are; 1.    Skin to skin contact is provi
