Essential oils are basically plant extracts. They’re steamed or maybe by pressing different areas of a vegetable (flowers, bark, leaves or even fruit) to record the ingredients which make the fragrance. It is able to capture many fat from a vegetable to create one container of essential oil. Along with building fragrance, essential oils additionally do some other features in vegetation. Based on the mechanical, “Chemicals present in oils that are essential are absorbed by the entire body, leading to psychological or physiological benefits. Aromatherapy is the healing use of plant essential oils to cure the entire body, mind and mind. This’s a training course of herbal medicine, and the basis of its of activity is equivalent to that of contemporary pharmacology” (Fontaine, 2019, p.134).

Essential oils may be applied topically on the skin. Common examples consist of placing a blend which containsblack pepper (Piper nigrum)or ginger(Zinziber officinalis)essential used oil to minimize osteoarthritis pain and also boost flexibility, and use crucial camomilleallemande oil(Matricaria recutita) totreateczema (Siroli, et all, 2020). The skin of ours is a bit of permeable. Chemicals lively in oils that are essential are absorbed in addition to ingredients in typical drugs including hormone replacement lotion as well as nicotine patches. Distinct elements are able to influence the absorption of important oils with the skin. If perhaps you rub the spot first, it is going to increase blood circulation to this particular spot, leading to a rise in the absorption of important oils (Siroli, et all, 2020). The high temperature will even boost circulation and therefore boost absorption. Several scientists claim that essential oils could be more quickly taken in by skin websites with increased levels of sweat glands as well as hair roots, like the genitals, plant, head, armpits and palms.

Once you incultivat an important oil by holding the bottle in the nose or perhaps by way of a diffuser, the place attributes achieve the olfactory method in the roof of the nose. The small nerves in the nose of yours have immediate access to the brain of yours. When activated, they deliver a message straight to the limbic system of yours in the human brain suggesting to begin acting promptly (Siroli, et all, 2020). The limbic system of ours will be the middle of command of emotions, memory, mind and mood. Exactly what the brain sparks the body is dependent on the essential oil we instill. For instance, in case we alarm the essential oil of lavender, the nervous system of ours is going to begin to loosen up, providing (among some other things), leisure as well as looking well being. The engine oil induces the release of serotonin in to the entire body, that decreases anxiety, encourages improved sleep and also eliminates a headache or even migraine.

The alternative way to make use of essential oils would be to place them on the skin. Whenever we try this, the healing qualities in the oils are absorbed by our pores and hair roots and go into the blood stream. When on each, the feast starts and they’re spread in the organs as well as systems which heal along with soothe (Siroli, et all, 2020). For instance, in case you have a headache, you are able to use lavender essential oil to the muscles of yours and also the rear of the neck getting fast help, as these’re 2 typical strain areas for headaches.

Case Study 2

Testicular Cancer

Case Studies

A 21-year-old male noted pain in his right testicle while studying hard for his midterm college

examinations. On self-examination, he noted a “grape sized” mass in the right testicle. This

finding was corroborated by his healthcare provider. This young man had a history of delayed

descent of his right testicle until the age of 1 year old.

Studies Results

Routine laboratory studies Within normal limits (WNL)

Ultrasound the testicle Solid mass, right testicle associated with calcifications

HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) 550mIU/mL (normal: <5)

CT scan of the abdomen Enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes

CT scan of the chest Multiple pulmonary nodules

Diagnostic Analysis

At semester break, this young man underwent right orchiectomy. Pathology was compatible with

embryonal cell carcinoma. CT directed biopsy of the most prominent pulmonary nodule

indicated embryonal cell carcinoma, compatible with metastatic testicular carcinoma. During a

leave of absence from college, and after banking his sperm, this young man underwent

aggressive chemotherapy. Repeat testing 12 weeks after chemotherapy showed complete

resolution of the pulmonary nodules and enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes.

Critical Thinking Questions

1. What impact did an undescended testicle have on this young man’s risk for developing

testicular cancer?

2. What might be the side effects of cytotoxic chemotherapy?

3. What was the purpose of preserving his sperm before chemotherapy?

4. Is this young man’s age typical for the development of testicular carcinoma?

Week 4: Discussion on End-of-Life Decisions and Advanced Directives

Participation Requirement: You are required to post a minimum of three (3) times in each discussion. These three (3) posts must be on a minimum of two (2) separate days. You must respond to the initial discussion question by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday.  On additional days, respond to your peers’ posts as well as additional faculty posts. Responses to peers must be posted by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday each week a discussion is due.

Step 1: Read attached article entitled, Advance Directives and Health Care Planning-Are all the pieces in place.pdf 

Step 2: Read the following article: Effect of Living wills on End of Life Care.pdf

Step 3: Watch the video, “Advanced Directives: Important Healthcare Tools for Supporting You and Your Family”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOIrnjqP5_M (Links to an external site.)

Step 4: Watch the video, “How to Have an End of Life Discussion”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtkgTzCSzqk (Links to an external site.)

An Advanced Directive is a document in which a client who is competent is able to express wishes regarding future acceptable health care. The document may include decisions including the desire for extraordinary lifesaving measures, such as resuscitation, intubation, and artificial hydration, and nutrition. The advanced directive may also be used to designate another person to make decisions when the client becomes physically or mentally unable to do so. The Patient-Determination Act requires all clients admitted to a health care facility be asked if they have advanced directives.

Planning guides for seriously ill clients includes:

1. Living will: Legal document that instructs health care providers and family members about what, if any, life-sustaining treatment an individual wants if at some time the individual is unable to make decisions.
2. Durable power of attorney for health care: Legal document that designates another person to make health care decisions for the client when the client becomes unable to make decisions independently.

Nursing intervention in these types of situations is to ensure to communicate to the interdisciplinary health care team that the client has provided and advanced directive and that it has been placed in the client’s medical record. Clients who do not have advanced directives must be given written information outlining rights related to health care decisions.

Initial Discussion scenario:

Mr. Gomez is a 73-year-old man who is estranged from his wife. Since he prefers that she doesn’t make any medical decisions for him should the need arise, he has filled out an advance directive naming his daughter Elena as his health care proxy. He has suffered from diabetes for many years and is adamant that he does not want dialysis, even if it would sustain his life. He does, however, wish to have tube feeding for however long it will sustain him.

One evening while at home with his daughter, Mr. Suarez has a seizure. He is taken to the hospital immediately, but never regains consciousness and doctors do not expect him to do so. Elena contacts her mother Mr. Gomez’s estranged wife and she quickly joins her daughter at the hospital. They want to put him on dialysis (as his diabetes is worsening) and a feeding tube (as there is no other way for him to receive nutrients). His daughter informs the doctors of her father’s end-of-life wishes. The doctors warn her that without dialysis her father will pass away more quickly, even with the feeding tube. Mr. Gomez’s estranged wife informs Elena that she needs to follow the advice received from the doctors in order to save her father’s life. Elena says that although she is aware of the consequences, she wants them to carry out her father’s wishes.

The clients estranged wife immediately has her attorney file an order to stop Elena from following her father’s wishes that are in his advanced directive. She feels that even though they are estranged, she still should have the right to make decisions regarding Mr. Gomez’s care. This action delays Elena’s ability to honor her father’s wishes and the doctors feel that it is necessary to inform the hospital’s ethics committee about the ongoing issue.

Assignment: Discuss the following questions

1. What is the role of the doctors in deciding whether or not to respect Mr. Gomez’s advanced directive?
2. Does Mr. Gomez’s estranged wife have the authority to step in and ignore Mr. Gomez’s advanced directive. Explain your reasoning while providing evidence-based solutions in your conclusion.
3. Gomez’s estranged wife has filed temporary order to ignore the advanced directive. If you were Elena, how would you handle this dilemma? What rights does Elena have that allow her to honor her father’s wishes?
4. What is the role of the ethics committee and how can they best support the client and his family?
