Initial Post InstructionsA cellphone company once ran a television ad touting its call reliability, in which a young man is talking to his future father-in-law, who is telling him to address him by his first name and consider him a friend. The young man launches into a series of variations of the first name. Unknown to either party, the call is dropped and the young man does not hear any response from the father. He becomes very nervous and reverts back to “Mr.” and “Sir.” The ad’s message is clear: Use our service and this sort of thing won’t happen.For the initial post, address one or more of the following:Why do you think the ad agency chose this power relationship for its commercial? Is it one to which you can relate?Have you had any kind of similar experience at your workplace or school (e.g., with a patient, client, or professor), perhaps with a rule or law?Have you encountered the power relationships exemplified in the commercial when implementing various healthcare practices such as disease prevention or hospital protocols/regulations? Are co-workers and patient receptive?
Discussion: Politics and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care ActRegardless of political affiliation, individuals often grow concerned when considering perceived competing interests of government and their impact on topics of interest to them. The realm of healthcare is no different. Some people feel that local, state, and federal policies and legislation can be either helped or hindered by interests other than the benefit to society.Consider for example that the number one job of a legislator is to be reelected. Cost can be measured in votes as well as dollars. Thus, it is important to consider the legislator’s perspective on either promoting or not promoting a certain initiative in the political landscape.To Prepare:Review the Resources and reflect on efforts to repeal/replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA).Consider who benefits the most when policy is developed and in the context of policy implementation.By Day 3 of Week 3Post an explanation for how you think the cost-benefit analysis in terms of legislators being reelected affected efforts to repeal/replace the ACA. Then, explain how analyses of the voters views may affect decisions by legislative leaders in recommending or positioning national policies (e.g., Congress’ decisions impacting Medicare or Medicaid). Remember, the number one job of a legislator is to be re-elected. Please check your discussion grading rubric to ensure your responses meet the criteria.By Day 6 of Week 3Respond to at least two of your colleagues* on two different days by expanding on their explanation and providing an example that supports their explanation or respectfully challenging their explanation and providing an example.please include at least 2 references for the replies.

Urinary EliminationScientific Knowledge BaseUrinary elimination is the last step in the removal and elimination of excess water and by products of body metabolism. Adequate elimination depends on the coordinated function of _________________________, __________________, ___________________, and _________. The kidneys filter waste products of metabolism from the blood. The ______________________________________ from the kidneys to the bladder. The bladder holds urine until the volume in the bladder triggers a sensation of urge indicating the need to pass urine. Micturition occurs when the brain gives the bladder permission to empty, the bladder contracts, the urinary sphincter relaxes, and urine leaves the body through the urethra.KidneyThe kidneys lie on either side of the vertebral column behind the peritoneum and against the deep muscles of the back. Normally the left kidney is higher than the right because of the anatomical position of the liver.Nephrons, the functional unit of the kidneys, remove waste products from the blood and play a major role in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance. The normal range of urine production is ______________________________. Please convert to CC/day. Erythropoietin, produced by the kidneys, stimulates red blood cell (RBC) production and maturation in bone marrow. The kidneys play a major role in blood pressure control via the renin-angiotensin system, release of aldosterone and prostacyclin. The kidneys also affect calcium and phosphate regulation by producing a substance that converts vitamin D into its active form.UretersA ureter is attached to each kidney pelvis and carries urinary wastes to the bladder.BladderThe urinary bladder is a hollow, distensible, muscular organ that holds urine. The bladder has two portions, a fixed base called the trigone and a distensible body called the detrusor. The bladder expands as it fills with urine. How much urine can the bladder hold?UrethraUrine travels from the bladder through the urethra and passes to the outside of the body through the urethral meatus. The urethra passes through a thick layer of skeletal muscles called the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles stabilize the urethra and contribute to urinary continence. The external urethral sphincter, made up of striated muscles, contributes to voluntary control over the flow of urine. The female urethra is approximately 3 to 4 cm (1 to 1.5 in) long and the male urethra is about 18 to 20 cm (7 to 8 in) long. The shorter length of the female urethra increases risk for urinary tract infection due to close access to the bacteria contaminated perineal area.Act of UrinationBrain structures influence bladder function.Voiding: Bladder contraction + urethral sphincter and pelvic floor muscle relaxationBladder wall stretching signals micturition center.Impulses from the micturition center in the brain respond to or ignore this urge, thus making urination under voluntary control.When a person is ready to void, the central nervous system sends a message to the micturition centers, the external sphincter relaxes and the bladder empties.Factors Influencing Urination (See Box 46-1)Growth and development_________________________________________________________Sociocultural factors_________________________________________________________Psychological factors_________________________________________________________Personal habits_________________________________________________________Fluid intake_________________________________________________________Pathological conditions_________________________________________________________Surgical procedures_________________________________________________________Medications_________________________________________________________Diagnostic Examinations_________________________________________________________Common Urinary Elimination ProblemsThe most common problems involve _____________________________________________ or ________________________________________.
