Lifestyle Get into the Christmas spirit at five castles and manor houses on Funen Funen has the largest concentration of castles and manor houses in Denmark; the island in the middle of the country is home to no fewer than 123 of them. They were built and lived in for centuries by Denmark’s great noble and wealthy families, but many are now open to the public and every year hold traditional Christmas markets. The beautiful backdrops create the perfect holiday atmosphere and the markets are a must for many locals in the run-up to Christmas. Here are five of the best Christmas markets on Funen: Christmas market at Valdemar’s Castle Valdemar’s Castle on the island of Tasinge outside Svendborg was built by none other than Christian IV for his son Valdemar Christian and was later taken over by naval hero Niels Juel, whose family still owns it today. At the Christmas market you will find displays from Georg Jensen and Royal Copenhagen, as well as lots of stalls selling crafts, candles, jewelry, Christmas ornaments, decorations, etc. The castle restaurant is the tastiest way to satisfy your hunger. You are free to explore the castle gardens and use the play area, which has a playground, Segway course, and mazes, and when you get hungry, there are lots of stalls selling mulled wine, ?bleskiver, and roasted almonds, as well as the Jomfru Rigborg cafe. There are also Christmas carols, castle goblins, and a paper-cutting workshop. A sure-fire family hit. And you can look forward to mulled wine, ?bleskiver, cake, coffee, sausages, and a lunch platter with ingredients from local producers. Lundegardsvej 44-46, 5672 Broby www.herregaarden-lundegaard.dk Christmas market at Langeso Castle For many Funen residents, it is only a proper Christmas if you have cut down your own Christmas tree in the forest at Langeso Castle. The castle enjoys an idyllic location at Langeso, and a brisk walk in the forest and around the lake can be suitably rewarded with mulled wine, ?bleskiver, hot cocoa, and other nice things in the old smithy. Here, and in the Laurel House, you can buy local delicacies, cheese, wine, jewelry, Christmas ornaments and decorations, and of course Christmas trees and greenery. And you can also take a trip around the forest in a horse-drawn carriage. From November 22 every weekend until Christmas.

Some remain private residences and working farms; others are open to visit or even sleep in. Here are three castles on the island of Funen that you can visit and live the life of a Count or Countess, if only for a while. Photo: visitfyn.com The massive foundations were said to have used an entire forest of oak trees, thus the name Egeskov which means “Oak Woods.” The castle has remained in possession of a single family since 1784 and is currently the residence of Count Ahlefeldt and his family, although they happily receive the public to visit the castle grounds and even take a look inside! Among the old beech trees, an aerial walkway lets you get a tree-top view, or if you prefer terra firma you can find your way through the giant hedge maze. You can also become a Segway Knight of Egeskov by completing the Segway track. A former grain barn has been transformed into a large vintage car and transportation museum and more collections are housed in other outbuildings. Photo: visitfyn.com The castle suffered significant war damage soon after completion and Valdemar never moved in, as he was killed in battle in 1656. In 1678, it was deeded to Danish Naval hero Niels Juel who saved it from ruin. Valdemars Castle stayed in the same family for 12 generations and today Baron Juel-Brockdorff lives there with his family. Guests are able to wander freely with a written guide to the sumptuous furnishings and works of art. The top floor of the main building is the Hunting and Trophy Museum and one of the castle wings holds a museum of Danish maritime history and yachting. A small garden near the church, and wide sloping lawns lead to a large lake. There is also a large mini-golf course and you can rent bikes, Segways and kayaks for day use. You can finish your castle visit with a swim at the beach with white sand and crystal clear water. It can be reached by a bridge or paddle-steamer ferry that docks at the jetty beside the beach. Since the 1400s, the building and farm had been passed down in successive generations of a single family, but in 1928, the state ordered a 40 tax on the owner’s entire wealth, effectively forcing him to sell. Unfortunately, the state was the only buyer and he didn’t even get enough to pay his taxes. The building housed a mental hospital for a while, but was eventually sold and renovated into a castle hotel in the 1990s. The castle itself is a grand three-story brick and stone building, complete with a turret and spire that provides a beautiful view of the lake and grounds. There are 45 restored guestrooms, each with different fabrics and color schemes and all with canopied beds. Guests are free to wander the 10-12 lavishly decorated public spaces that include dining rooms, a lady’s parlor, a clubby lounge and a grand staircase. We took our desert on a stone patio overlooking the lake as the summer daylight finally began to fade about 10 p.m. The next morning, we enjoyed the generous Danish breakfast buffet that was included in the stay.

For me, traveling well doesn’t have to mean unabashed luxury, although I must admit, I do love just that. No, traveling well has to do with really experiencing the culture, engaging with people, and learning something about your destination, and very possibly yourself, along the way.

Manor houses and castles pop up from the countryside like magnificent mirages. Some of northern Europe's best-preserved castles are here: the 12th-century Nyborg Slot, travel pinup Egeskov Slot, and the lavish Valdemars Slot. The fairy-tale cliche often attributed to Denmark is due to Funen, where the only place with modern vigor or stress seems to be Odense, its capital. Trimmed with thatch-roof houses and green parks, the city makes the most of the Andersen legacy but surprises with a rich arts community at the Brandts Kl?defabrik, a former textile factory turned museum compound. Towns in Funen are best explored by car. It's even quick and easy to reach the smaller islands of Langeland and Tasinge—both are connected to Funen by bridges. Slightly more isolated is ?ro, where the town of ?roskobing, with its colorfully painted half-timber houses and winding streets, seems caught in a time warp.

The breakdown of tissue, especially after severe trauma or crush injuries is known as catabolism. Venous stasis is a disorder related to pooling of blood in a vein of the body; venous stasis typically occurs in the lower extremities and it is one of the many hazards, or complications, of immobilization. Although many affected patients can experience blindness and peripheral neuropathy, these disorders result from impaired nervous system damage rather than an infection.Preoperative checklists are a form of nursing documentation that is used to guide and document the care of the patient before surgery. Psychological counseling is typically NOT necessary except under highly unusual circumstances and preoperative medication can decrease the amount of anesthetic needed and respiratory tract secretions but it does not help with postoperative pain. Cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or cardiac failure all increase the metabolic demands and the need for added calories. The carotid pulse may be difficult to palpate due to the fatty tissue that typically, and often, surrounds an infant’s neck. Lastly, the radial and pedal pulses may not be reliable indicators of cardiac function. It also allows the lungs to more fully expand because the diaphragm drops. The most comfortable position for the patient is the supine position; however, this position does not permit the lungs to fully expand. There is no association or correlation between loosening respiratory secretions or relaxation with this sitting position. Select all that apply. Medical asepsis, or clean technique, is used when bathing a neonate, when emptying a urinary drainage bag and when administering an intramuscular medication injection. Fail proof processes prevent human error and possible patient harm. Although these process improvements and changes may also increase efficiency and decrease costs, the ultimate goal of quality improvement activities is to prevent future occurrences with process changes and not costs and efficiency.

The supine position can place additional pressure on the aorta and vena cava, leading to vena cava syndrome. A reduction of iron supplements during pregnancy may reduce hemoglobin production and result in a less than an effective immune system.

A horizontal evacuation is the movement of patients to another area of the same floor. A vertical evacuation is the movement of patients to a different floor or level of the building. Patient evacuations are done to prevent patient injury. Under no circumstances should the elevators be used for evacuations.
