What is the pathophysiology of septicemia and pneumonia

SuzieeQ · Feb 19, 2008

why don't you try your pathophysiology textbook or even the internet for the answers?

lol.. exactly my point.. i am a nursing student myself (almost finished), and i would never come on here the night before something is due and ask for people to do my work for me. it's not that hard to open a book, flip through the index for pneumonia/septicemia, and get the answers.

Thread moved to the nursing student assistance forums.

Please note that we are more than happy to assist you, but you need to do the work and look up what you need, that we do not provide for you.

And when it is due the next day, it means that you have not invested any time into your assignment in first place, and we are unable to do it for you.

When you have the information and then have some specific questions about it, we will be happy to help you, but we do not do assignments for you here.

Best of luck on your homework. You can Google this just as easy as you found us and find the info that you are looking for.

In defense of the original poster (sort of), the night before clinicals we are assigned to patients, and then we go home and are expected to look up the pathophysiology for their problems, in addition to medications and care planning.

I agree though, that this info should be in the text book. Here's a link that can give some ideas in layman's terms: http://health.discovery.com/tools/blausen/blausen.html

We do the same thing.

The difference is that the OP says this is for a case study, not for a real clinical situation. I'm guessing it's been assigned for a while.

You are correct, though; this information is in the textbook!

The pathophysiologies for these are on post #49 of this thread:

The pathophysiology for urosepsis is basically the same as for septicemia as to how the bacteria gets into the blood stream.

To anyone that is giving suzieeQ a hard time about waiting last minute to finish homework. Did you forget what nursing school is like?

Really? Your first post here is to admonish responses to a student nurse clearly unwilling to do her own work from a post made almost 4 years ago? Really?

What exactly is the point of your post? That it's OK to ask someone to do your homework because you're in nursing school? That it's OK to cheat because of the stress of nursing school? No one "forgot" what school was like. I'm quite certain that every RN here remembers exactly what it's like to attend lecture, read, study, write, learn, go to clinicals, etc without asking someone, especially strangers on an online board, to do their work for them. Developing those organizational skills necessary to pull this off will go a long way to having a successful nursing career.

Good luck with yours.
