Question

5. Identify first-level assessment factors for each of the basic life processes associated with the need for oxygenation

Answer 1

Body functions are the physiological or psychological functions of body systems. The body's functions are ultimately its cells' functions.All living organisms have certain characteristics that distinguish them from non-living forms. The basic processes of life include organization, metabolism, responsiveness, movements, and reproduction. In humans, who represent the most complex form of life, there are additional requirements such as growth, differentiation, respiration, digestion, and excretion. All of these processes are interrelated. No part of the body, from the smallest cell to a complete body system, works in isolation. All function together, in fine-tuned balance, for the well being of the individual and to maintain life.
