The clinical day at the endoscopy of the Yavapai Regional Hospital was incredibly insightful and educational. The nurses were inviting and encouraged the students to generate any clarifying questions. They also strived for the students to administer as much intravenous catheterization as possible. The endoscopy unit performed several different diagnostic studies that concerned the entire intestinal tract. All of the patients who had some type of procedure performed were sedated with anesthesia and
valerian as a treatment for anxiety. The studies done on the effectiveness and time constraints of valerian as an insomnia medication have reached varied and conflicting results. Though some studies have found valerian to have a subjective mild sedative effect in improving sleep,3 others have found there to be no objective statistical significance between valerian and placebo.5 Similarly, some research revealed that valerian reduced objective sleep latency when provided for an acute period of 3

Repeat examinations occur mostly in pediatrics due to their inability to sit still and plenty of other factors. One way to

The founders of nursing acknowledged the need for sleep and rest to aid the body in healing, but with 60% of patients requesting a sedative, this shows the hospital environment is not one that promotes sleep and rest. There is renewed interest in exploring the best nonpharmacological methods of helping achieve sleep and rest while in the hospital to promote healing (Robinson, Weitzel, & Henderson, 2005).

lighting-fast reactions occurring in our nervous system (Nichols, 2012). Therefore, changing these neurological reactions can permanently effect our conscious being (Blatter, 2012). The physical and neurological effects from the use and abuse of stimulants, sedatives, hallucinogens, organic solvents, and athletic performance enhancing drugs will be discussed in order to better comprehend why certain individuals expose themselves to such dangerous materials with seemingly no regard to the permanent consequences
