Its Friday! 🙌🏻 Which means.. all you party people will be out and about! Make sure you’re protecting your ears!!! 👂🏻🎧 Tinnitus, a ringing or buzzing in the ears, can be caused by exposure to loud sounds and can be a symptom of hearing loss 😱 Exposure to loud sounds can cause temporary OR permanent hearing loss. The louder the sound, the shorter the amount of time it takes for damage to occur! 😕 Repeated exposure to loud sounds can cause chronic, permanent damage to the hair cells in the inner ear! The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends that people not be exposed to noise levels above 85 decibels (dB) for more than 8 hours per day! ⏱ Wear earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones to help protect your ears from loud sounds!! 🎧🫶🏻

Lets talk about your skull 👩🏼‍⚕️🩺 💀The human skull is made up of 22 bones that are fused together! ☠️The skull protects the brain, the most important organ in the body 🧠 ☠️The skull has several openings for nerves and 🩸 vessels to pass through, such as the foramen magnum, which allows the spinal cord to connect to the brain. ☠️The skull is divided into the cranium, which houses the brain, and the mandible, which forms the jaw! 🧠 ☠️The skull can provide information about a person's age, sex, and ethnicity based on its shape and characteristics! ☠️The skull has several suture, which are immovable joints between bones that allow the skull to grow and change shape as we age. ☠️The skull also contains several sinuses, which are air-filled cavities that lighten the weight of the skull and resonate sound when we speak.

Health tip of the day! 🩺 Skip the energy drinks when you’re feeling tired! ❌ Energy drinks contain up to five times more caffeine than coffee, but the boost they provide is fleeting and comes with unpleasant side effects like nervousness, irritability, and rapid heartbeat! 🫀😅 Plus, energy drinks often contain high levels of taurine, a central nervous system stimulant, and upwards of 50 grams of sugar per can (that's 13 teaspoons worth!). The sweet stuff spikes 🩸 sugar temporarily, only to crash soon after, leaving you sluggish and foggyheaded—and reaching for another energy drink! 😴🥱

Happy Monday! 💙💖 Got my scrubs on and I’m ready to take care of you 🥰🤭 Scrubs are important in nursing for many many reasons! 🩺Hygiene: Scrubs are designed to be easily laundered and are made from materials that can be disinfected, which helps to reduce the spread of germs and infection in healthcare settings. 🦠 🩺Identification: Scrubs are often worn by healthcare workers in order to easily identify their roles and responsibilities. Different colors and patterns of scrubs are often used to distinguish between different types of healthcare workers, such as nurses and doctors. 🌈 🩺Comfort: Scrubs are typically made from lightweight, breathable materials that are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. They are also designed to allow for a full range of motion, which is important for nurses and other healthcare workers who need to move around frequently. 🩺Protection: Scrubs can protect healthcare workers from bodily fluids and other hazardous materials they may come into contact with on the job 🩸 🩺Professionalism: Scrubs are considered professional attire for healthcare workers, and wearing them helps to create a sense of trust and credibility with patients and their families 🫂

For all my fitness people! 🏋🏼‍♀️ It’s so important to eat before a workout! Especially carbs 🥖🍝 If you work out on an empty stomach, your body will burn muscle tissue when you run out of energy and not stored body fat!! Eating or drinking carbohydrates before exercise can improve workout performance and may allow you to work out for a longer time or at a higher intensity! 🏋🏼‍♀️💨 If you don't eat, you might feel sluggish or lightheaded when you exercise and we don't want that! 🥱❌

IV tubing is a medical device used to administer fluids, medications, and 🩸products into a patient's 🩸stream through a vein! Some fun facts about IV tubing: 💉IV tubing was first used in the early 20th century, but it wasn't widely used until the 1930s when plastic tubing became available. 💉IV tubing is available in different colors, making it easy for healthcare professionals to identify different types of fluids being administered. 💉IV tubing can be used to administer fluids at different rates, including a slow "drip" or a faster "bolus" injection. 💉IV tubing is considered as a life-saving device in critical care and emergency medicine. It's used to provide life-sustaining fluids, medications and 🩸 products in emergency situations. It's important to follow proper cleaning and disinfection procedures for IV tubing to prevent contamination and infection! 🦠‼️

A big boy 💉😉 A bolus syringe is a type of syringe that is used to administer a single, large dose of medication or other fluid. It is often used in emergency situations where a quick and large dose of medication is needed, such as during a heart attack or severe allergic reaction! ❤️‍🩹 Bolus syringes typically have a larger capacity than standard syringes, ranging from 10 mL to 60 mL or more ❗️ To use a bolus syringe, the healthcare provider or caregiver will first fill the syringe with the prescribed medication or fluid. The syringe can then be attached to an intravenous (IV) line or injected directly into a muscle or vein using a needle. The medication or fluid is then administered over a period of a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the specific needs of the patient ⏱🩺
