Define malaria and explain the process of embryological development.

Here is the information for question 1: a) Define malaria Malaria is a serious, life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, which are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of fever, chills, sweating, and other flu-like symptoms, resulting from the destruction of red blood cells. b) Explain the process of embryological development Embryological development is the process by which an embryo forms and develops from a zygote. 1. Fertilization: The fusion of a sperm and an egg cell forms a single-celled zygote. 2. Cleavage: The zygote undergoes rapid mitotic cell divisions, increasing cell number without increasing overall size, forming a solid ball of cells called a morula. 3. Blastulation: The morula develops into a blastocyst, a hollow ball of cells with an inner cell mass (which will form the embryo) and an outer layer called the trophoblast (which will form part of the placenta). 4. Implantation: The blastocyst attaches to and embeds itself into the uterine wall, typically around 6-12 days after fertilization. 5. Gastrulation: The inner cell mass differentiates into three primary germ layers: the ectoderm (forms skin, nervous system), mesoderm (forms muscles, bones, circulatory system), and endoderm (forms lining of digestive and respiratory tracts, glands). 6. Neurulation: The ectoderm folds to form the neural tube, which develops into the brain and spinal cord. 7. Organogenesis: The three germ layers further differentiate and develop into all the major organs and body systems, marking the end of the embryonic period (around 8 weeks post-fertilization). c) Identify five (5) nursing problems related to Mrs. Chela's condition, and Develop a nursing care plan, to manage Mrs. Chela Five (5) Nursing Problems: 1. Hyperthermia related to malarial infection. 2. Fluid volume deficit related to vomiting and fever. 3. Acute pain (headache) related to malarial infection. 4. Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements related to vomiting and fever. 5. Risk for impaired fetal well-being related to maternal infection and hyperthermia.
