Summary and Analysis Chapters 42-43
Summary
A few days after their arrival at Cleveland, Marianne took ill with a violent cold. As she did not improve, Mrs. Jennings sent for the apothecary, who pronounced her disorder to be of an infectious variety. Mrs. Palmer, fearing for her baby, departed with him to a relative's home in the neighborhood, but Mrs. Jennings insisted on staying to help nurse Marianne. After a few days, Marianne seemed to get better, but suddenly she had a relapse, and Elinor decided to send for their mother. Colonel Brandon offered to go for her "with a readiness that seemed to speak the occasion and the service pre-arranged in his mind."
Things seemed very bad and Mrs. Jennings was convinced Marianne would not survive. But as suddenly as she was stricken, Marianne began to get better and was declared out of danger. On that day, Elinor heard a carriage approaching and hurried down, thinking it must be Colonel Brandon and her mother. To her surprise, it was Willoughby.
Analysis
The gentry of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were keenly interested in planning their gardens. Ruins of Grecian temples were often placed in the grounds to add a romantic touch to the landscape.
The apothecary was the man who prepared drugs, as opposed to the doctor who prescribed them. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, however, the apothecary had the skill and power to care for patients in the same way as the doctor. Note that Mrs. Palmer's baby was treated by a doctor in London but only an apothecary was available in the country.
Much to our surprise, Mr. Palmer, in his own habitat, is almost as warm as his wife. Mrs. Jennings has truly become one of the heroines of the story, where, as a mother, she is a striking contrast to the cold, barren Mrs. Ferrars.
Marianne is paying for her folly with a very tangible illness. She cannot go out in the damp, wild grass — symbolic of her own excesses of emotion — without being punished.
FAQs
The high-powered objective lens (also called “high dry” lens) is ideal for observing fine details within a specimen sample. The total magnification of a high-power objective lens combined with a 10x eyepiece is equal to 400x magnification, giving you a very detailed picture of the specimen in your slide.
Which is an ideal sample for many screening tests that require a very small amount of blood? ›
Type of Sample:
In such cases, capillary blood samples are preferable.
When should a patient with an acute illness be scheduled? ›
When Should I Schedule a Sick or Acute Care Visit? If you have an acute illness that has lasted longer than it should have, consider scheduling a sick visit. You should also visit a doctor if you have unexplained, severe headaches or stomach pain.
What occurs if a urine specimen is allowed to stand for more than 1 hour at room temperature? ›
Any bacteria or cells present in a urine sample kept at room-temperature for more than one hour will continue to use glucose (sugar) in the urine. This may result in a falsely decreased urine glucose measurement. Also, bacteria produce ammonia which makes the urine more alkaline (increases pH).
What is the magnification of an object viewed with a 40x high power objective? ›
To get the total magnification level you must multiply the magnification of the ocular lens by the magnification of the objective lens. So, if you are viewing your slide under the 40x objective lens you would multiply that by the 10x of the ocular lens for a total magnification of 400x.
What magnification is high power field? ›
The microscope high-power field (HPF) is the cornerstone for histopathology diagnostic evaluation such as the quantification of mitotic figures, lymphocytes, and tumor grading. With traditional light microscopy, HPFs are typically evaluated by quantifying histologic events in 10 fields of view at × 400 magnification.
How long is a condition considered acute? ›
The term acute disease is used to describe an illness that has a very rapid onset, but it usually clears up within a month. This is the opposite of chronic diseases.
What is considered an acute visit? ›
Acute care is a branch of secondary health care where a patient receives active but short-term treatment for a severe injury or episode of illness, an urgent medical condition, or during recovery from surgery. In medical terms, care for acute health conditions is the opposite from chronic care, or longer-term care.
Which health conditions would be considered acute illness a patient with? ›
Acute conditions are severe and sudden in onset. This could describe anything from a broken bone to an asthma attack. A chronic condition, by contrast is a long-developing syndrome, such as osteoporosis or asthma. Note that osteoporosis, a chronic condition, may cause a broken bone, an acute condition.
Why should a patient not void directly into a 24 hour urine container? ›
Patient: The 24-hour collection container may contain chemicals (as a preservative) that are hazardous. DO NOT urinate directly into the container. Collect urine in a clean, dry vessel and carefully pour the urine into the 24-hour collection container.
Unrefrigerated, unpreserved urine specimens greater than two hours old may be subject to overgrowth with organisms normally present in the urethra and periurethral areas, and may yield inaccurate or misleading results.
Why is the first urine discarded in a 24 hour urine collection? ›
Note: Urine voided first thing in the morning is the most concentrated specimen of the day. If one collects these concentrated specimens from two mornings, then the concentration of substances that are measured is falsely increased.
What does the high power objective magnifies? ›
High power objective lenses in microscopes typically have magnifications ranging from 40x to 100x. These lenses are used for detailed examination of specimens and provide high levels of magnification, allowing for close-up views of fine structures and cellular details.
Under which total magnification is the field of view larger 40x or 100x? ›
Field of view is how much of your specimen or object you will be able to see through the microscope. At 40x magnification you will be able to see 5mm. At 100x magnification you will be able to see 2mm.
Which provides the largest field of view the 10x or 40x objective? ›
A: The 10x objective gives the largest field of view due to the fact that it is less magnified than the 40x.
What is the total magnification when the high power objective is clicked in place? ›
The total magnification of a microscope is equal to an objective lens magnification multiplied by the eyepiece magnification. For example, if your eyepiece has 10x magnification and your high-power objective lens is 40x, the total magnification will be 400x.
