skill of recognizing cues regarding a clinical situation, generating and weighing hypotheses, taking action, and evaluating outcomes for a satisfactory clinical outcome

Interpreting: attributing meaning to the data through multiple reasoning patterns
Responding: deciding on an action (or inaction) and monitoring outcomes

Q

digestive process (ch 37)

A

Digestion begins in the mouth where food is taken in, mixes with saliva
pushed into the pharynx by the tongue
continues into the esophagus
Peristalsis moves the food through the esophagus and into the stomach
stomach churns the ingested food, mixing it with substances to break down the food and convert it to a semiliquid mixture
The food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine
The small intestine secrets enzymes, which, along with secretions from the liver and pancreas, digest the food. The digested nutrients are then transferred into the person’s circulation (absorption), to be transported throughout the body.
