Nurse’s Diagnosis: Impaired skin integrity related to immobility as manifested by presence of bedsores in the upper and lower extremities
Diagnosis of a certain disease differs when you are a nurse or a doctor. A nurse’s diagnosis is more meticulous and detailed compared to doctors. It just goes to show that nurses are very detailed and particular when it comes to these but diagnosis is not my reason for this post.
To the smokers, alcoholic drinkers, people with sedentary lifestyle, obese, elders, people with positive familial disease of Hypertension, Salt addicts, Coffee addicts
Being in the nursing field, I am obliged to do Vital Signs (review my previous post). Blood pressure is an essential factor in determining one’s health status. High blood pressure or Hypertension could lead to cardiovascular diseases which is the number 1 cause of mortality in the world.
I am not a fan of American Idol. I haven’t followed any of its seasons but surely the fruit it bears, I really admire. For the fruit, I mean, the Idols they have made like Jordin Sparks, Elliot Yamin and Kelly Clarkson.
Now, they have gone to it’s 7th season yet still I haven’t followed any (but I have watched some episodes), poor me. So since the season finale is fast approaching, it’s on the 21st of May (Top 2 Performance Night) and 22nd of May (Announcement of the Season 7, American Idol) I would blog about it.
Questions that always made me pause because without a second doubt, there’s an imbalance between the two. I would not talk about those times specifically but surely, times when my mom stood up for me weighs more. It should not be the case right?
My friends may be surprised upon reading this post. I admit it. I am not a Kapuso, GMA 7 nor Marian Rivera fan. During high school, I was even a member of Kapamilya, ABS-CBN 2 defender when our section has debates about who’s the copycat or not. Anyways, we (I, Jeric and Roxanne) are all at the same room when they tuned in to GMA 7 because it was DYESEBEL (a Philippine version of Little Mermaid).
I received a text message from a friend that stated:
“U.S. GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY PREDICTS A 6.8 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE WILL HIT PHILIPPINES PLATES TONIGHT. PLEASE BE CALM AND ALERT. This text message is from Hawaii State Emergency Preparedness Office. Please pass (no harm in being prepared) Let’s pray this will not happen.”
I have received this message twice and immediately inform my brother, Jeric. Together, we watched DZMM TeleRadyo (ABS-CBN) for confirmation of the said text message. They have interviewed Renato Solidum, Director of Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology and he clearly stated that THERE IS NO TRUTH TO THE SPREADING TEXT MESSAGE. He added that there is no gadget/instrument/technology invented yet to determine the intensity, place, date and exact time of the earthquake yet to come. In fact, there is no “Hawaii State Emergency Preparedness Office” and “U.S. GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY” existing. Even so, U.S. is not yet capable of detecting incoming earthquake that is out of their territory with that accuracy.
Let us not believe this rumor.If you happen to have received this text message as mine, please don’t bother to forward it to other people for it can cause more confusion instead of helping to stop this rumor as Director Renato Solidum had advised.
Here’s the video we have recorded regarding the said issue:
Things keeping me busy this summer are the following:
Duty at Cainta, Rizal
Duty at Morong, Rizal
Duty at Baliuag, Bulacan

Holy cow, did I just said duty 7 times? So basically, that’s it. Almost half of my summer vacation was spent attending my summer class. I was a transient student for 3 straight rotations. I became a boarder in my own home.I forgot it is to feel the coolness of our air condition and the softness of my dear bed. Nevertheless, I learned how to be independent by washing my clothes and uniform at the same time ironing it. (What an accomplishment! LOL.)
