La Biblia sanciona la pena capital

Cristianos y creyentes en la Biblia, la Palabra de Dios pide la pena de muerte para el asesinato en primer grado, la violación y otros actos de violencia. La Biblia nos dice que contemplemos la bondad Y la severidad de Dios, cuya Palabra -incluso en el Nuevo Testamento- NO habla en contra de la pena capital. Lea ahora la prueba bíblica.

How an EMT Uses OPQRST for Medical Patient Assessment

starLife.gif

OPQRST for EMTs



Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) learn a lot of things in training they will need in order to efficiently perform their job in the real world. One of those things is learning how to do a medical patient assessment, because not all 911 calls are related to trauma or to cardiac problems. A major part of the medical patient assessment is gathering information from and/or about a patient. This is to perform necessary medical interventions and give an accurate patient care report (PCR) to the nurses and doctors to whom care will be transferred in the emergency room. It's sometimes difficult to remember all of the information that needs to be gathered. That's where the mnemonic OPQRST comes in handy. It's a memory aid to help EMTs ask the questions they should ask a medical patient about signs and symptoms.

O is for Onset



The "O" in OPQRST stands for "onset." It reminds the EMT to ask a patient what he was doing when the pain, signs, and symptoms began. For example, "What were you doing when your stomach began to ache?" During the medical patient assessment, the EMT or one of his co-workers should record information so it is not forgotten. Depending on the emergency medical system in which the EMT works, that might mean writing it down by hand or keying it into an automated patient care report on a notebook computer.

P Is for Provokes



A question such as "Is there anything you can think of that might have caused or provoked....?" Of course the EMT would finish that question based on the patient's chief complaint, which could be anything from abdominal pain to shortness of breath, to a sudden headache. As much information as is pertinent to the reason why 911 was called should be collected during the medical patient assessment.

Q Is for Quality



The "Q" part of OPQRST might sound a little strange. Quality reminds the EMT to ask patients to describe their discomfort in their own words. "Can you describe it (pain or whatever the sign or symptom is) to me?" might be asked to ensure that quality is assessed. Notice that the EMT does not ask questions like: "Is it a sharp pain?" because it's too easy for a patient simply to answer, "yes." This is exactly what might happen when there's a language barrier between the EMT and the patient.

R Is for Radiation



The "R" of OPQRST reminds the EMT to find out exactly where the pain is with a simple question like, "Where exactly does it hurt?" The patient can point to the area of discomfort if he's physically able to do so, or he can describe to the EMT where the pain is. Location of pain can reveal very valuable clues to what problem is taking place even before arrival to the hospital. This information from the medical patient assessment is given to the health care providers to whom patient care will be transferred.

S Is for Severity



Although EMTs state the impression of a patient in their patient care report, the patient himself is who rates the severity of his pain. The EMT can simply ask him to rate the discomfort on a scale from one to ten. Obviously, one is virtually no discomfort while ten is the highest severity of pain. Some patients who are speaking in a calm voice might rate severity at a ten while others who appear to be in great discomfort might rate severity at a four or five. Regardless of these inconsistencies, the EMT records the numbers stated by the patient.

T Ends OPQRST and Is for Time



The "T" of the memory aid might easily be confused with "O" for onset. However, "O" prompts the EMT to ask the patient what he was doing. "T" for time, on the other hand, is a reminder to ask when the pain, signs, and symptoms started and if anything about them has changed since that time. For example, "Did the pain grow worse?"

OPQRST is a memory aid for the first part of another mnemonic used to teach EMT students to do patient assessment: SAMPLE.
