Task:

Introduction 

Before starting work: lease read this entire document. It contains helpful information about the assigned assessment tasks and how to present your work.
This assessment covers the following Units of Competency (UOC/s):
HLTAAP002 Confirm physical health status
This unit of competency (UOC) forms part of the HLT54115 Diploma of Nursing offered by NSW Health RTO, and students must complete all assessment items to be deemed competent.
Unit Descriptors
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to obtain and interpret information about client health status and to check a client’s physical health. It requires a detailed knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
This unit applies to individuals working directly with clients and who assist in the provision of health care services. Some disciplines may be subject to state/territory regulatory determination regarding delegation and supervision.
The skills in this unit must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation, Australian/New Zealand standards and industry codes of practice.
Assessment Requirements
For more information relating to the RTO assessment requirements, including the management of student progression, please refer to the NSW Health Student Handbook. For course specific assessment requirements, please refer to the Course Guide.
Students are required to complete all the assessment tasks included in this document. The assessment tasks are summarised in the Assessment Plan in this document.
Your assessor will discuss all of the assessment requirements with you prior to undertaking this cluster. The deadline for completion of this assessment will also be discussed at this time.
You can hand in your completed assessments before it is due. If however, you cannot hand it in by the due date, you will need to negotiate with your Program Coordinator prior to the assessment due date (except in circumstances that prevent you from doing so).
Should you fail to submit your assessment on time and without prior approval for an extension, after a period of two weeks you will be deemed not competent and your manager will be notified of this outcome. If at a later date you are able to negotiate the resubmission of your assessment with your Program Coordinator and you are deemed competent, this outcome will be changed.
Following submission of your assessment, you will be provided with feedback and if required, further training may be arranged to facilitate achievement of competency.
If on second attempt you are unable to meet the requirements, an interview will be held with your Program Coordinator to assist further development and achievement of competency.
The Student has the right to appeal an assessment decision at any time. (Please refer to NSW RTO Student Handbook for the Appeals process).
Your assessor will advise you of the due dates for each of the assessments, or in the case of a workplace observation/s, the date/s and time/s of the observation.

Pancreas Upper abdominal pain that even radiated to back, feels worse after eating, rapid pulse, nausea, fever, loosing weight, foully oily stools. Fasting, intravenous fluids, procedures to remove bile dcut obstructions, gallbladder surgery, pancreas surgery may help to treat.

The Endocrine System
Activity 50
Outline the functions of the endocrine system.
An endocrine gland plays a vital function to secrete hormones in the blood stream further it targets to destined organs or any part of body. Endocrine glands are chemical compound whose receptors are present on target cells they can either cell surface receptor or within the nucleus. Hormones serve as messengers who serve in control and coordination. They control various ultimate body functions such as growth and development, control entire organ, development of sexual characters, feedback mechanism, etc. Some effect one or two organs and many has influence to entire body parts. Other major functions also include controlled cell growth, secretion of insulin and other chemicals such as rennin in the blood, control heart rate, etc.
Example gonadotrophin hormone (GTH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), growth hormone (GH) is secreted by anterior lobe of pituitary gland which targets development of gonads, thyroid, cell growth of body respectively.
Activity 51
Hormone levels are controlled by:
Hormone levels are controlled by negative feedback. Whenever a hormone is produced and secreted, the release of hormone is elicited by stimulus when requirement is fulfilled or its level is reached to serge a negative feedback is generated such to stop the secretion of particular hormone. In this way the concentration of hormone is maintained in blood.
Activity 52
List the various cells in the Islets of Langerhans. Describe a function for each.
Islets of Langherhans comprises of clusters of cells which comprises of mainly three kind of cells. 1. Alpha cells (?) - secrete glucagon, releases fatty acid from fat tissues and glucose from liver.
2. Beta cells (?) – secrete insulin, regulates carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, inhibits the secretion of glucose from liver.
3. Delta cells (?) – secrete somatostatin, act as strong inhibitor of somatotrophin, insulin and glucagon and its function is not crystal clear yet.
Activity 53


The Lymphatic System
Activity 54
List the lymphatic organs. Describe a function for each.
Lymphatic Organs Function
Primary lymphatic organs:
1. Thymus
2. Bone marrow
Secondary lymphatic organs:
3. Lymph nodes
4. Spleen
- Maturation of T lymphocytes, brings about cell mediated immunity and graft rejection.
- Give rise to stem cells from which various types of blood cells are formed, development and maturation of B lymphocytes, source of antibody synthesis.
- Initiates and develops humoral and cell mediated immune response, important centre of phagocytosis.
- Brings humoral and cell mediated immunity, act as reserve tank for RBS formation at the time of necessity, acts as filter for foreign particles, graveyard for worn out blood cells.
Activity 55
Identify and compare the differences between T cells and B cells.
The differences between B cells and T cells are as follows:
1. B cells mature in the bone marrow where as T cells mature in the thymus.
2. B cells bring about humoral immunity where T cells bring about cell mediated immunity.
3. B cells produce antibodies but T cells produce lymphokines.
4. B cells can bring about immediate type of hypersensitivity where as T cells can bring about delayed type hypersensitivity.
5. On activation, B cells produce plasma cells and memory cells. T cells produce sensitized T cells and memory cells.
6. Lymphocyte capping, which occurs during the differentiation of B cells is not found in the differentiation of T cells.
7. B and T cells differ in their activation by different mitogens.
