medicine and health sciences over the last several years. Doctors and other researchers have used technological advancements in medication to initiate research studies on human health problems and other health challenges (Rodrigues 52). From the research studies, new drugs, and treatment methods have been discovered to help in curing some of the most stubborn diseases which have dogged the human life for a long time. Application of computers in medicine was one of the most significant technological
leading cause of death in 2013 in Singapore at 30.4%.1 With numerous established Cardiovascular Risk Factors (CVRFs) and appropriate management guidelines, more can be done to alter the disease progression and reduce complications and mortality due to CVD. In this study, we will focus on Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), which is a class of CVD that occurs when the blood supplied to the heart muscle is decreased or blocked, leading to heart attack,2 a medical emergency that can lead to death.

Postoperative care of Josie Elliot needs to be well managed due to other factors contributing to her pain such as her diabetes.

Intro Changes in respiratory system are progressively recognised as the most profound indicator of patient deterioration. Accurate and timely respiratory assessment is a vital element of holistic patient care. However, studies reveal that many nurses do not believe a respiratory assessment is essential on every patient admitted into a healthcare facility. Despite their importance, respiration rates are documented less often than other vital signs. This essay will highlight the importance of recording
The surveys can be patient experience surveys in national state or even in provider level. On the other hand these can also be population or community based surveys (Picker Institute 2009). Mostly surveys are directed towards a larger sample. Again these can be also shaped to be done in a particular setting (like the dental wing in a facility) or in specific groups of patients (like age groups); and these are called as tailored surveys. Moreover, surveys can also be paper based, telephonic or through
