  2. acute and chronic renal disease

    The latest breakthrough i know is a transplatation of organs from donor w/ different blood type(i kinda catched it on a korean television show)
  3. Practice question that doesn't seem right.

  10. Help with breathing pattern case study

    1)D is the best answer,(w/ dyspnea and rapid breathing the pt will use his accessory muscles, I have yet to encounter one who doesn't) therefore putting a hand on Josh's chest will give better visualization 2)A- low 02 saturation(hypoxia) is indicat...
