2. What is the pathophysiology causing Mr. Canton’s cool, clammy skin and inspiratory crackles? (5 points) a. Heart Attack, It’s the result of signs and symptoms of left sided heart failure. 3.
7. A procedure in which a catheter is passed into a vein or artery and is guided into the heart: cardiac catheterization. 8. The radiography of a vein after injection of a contrast medium to detect incomplete filling of a vein is the process: Intravenous pyelogram 9. Inflammation of a vein: phlebitis 10.
1) The emergency nurse records the vital signs on his chart. Please review Mr Jones’s chart, list the vital signs on admission and identify the signs that are abnormal. Use the correct terminology to describe each abnormality. (50-100 words) Answer: When evaluating Mr Jones Charts i can see that his respiratory rate is increasing and becoming tachypnea , His BP has dropped dangerously low becoming hypertensive and needs urgent attention, Mr Jones O2 flow rate is all so on the increase meaning the need for extra oxygen, heart rate is increasing becoming tachycardia. (Marieb, 2012) Based on the case history, identify the type of fracture that has occurred.
Case 2 - A 45 year old engineer presents to the ER complaining of a severe, intense, precordial, crushing sensation with pain radiating to the left shoulder and down the side of the left arm, triggered by exercise. the chest discomfort brought on by the exertion is relieved by rest. ER examination results in the following: 98 beats/min heart rate, BP of 160/110mmHg, and a respiratory rate of 24 breaths/min. EKG is performed and reveals ventricular extrasystole arrhythmia (premature ventricular contraction [PVC]) as well as ST segment depression and decreased R-wave height. Coronary angiography shows luminal obstruction >75% (91%) in three major coronary vessels, including the left anterior in ventricular (descending) coronary artery.
The extra fluids build up in the legs, lungs, liver and around the eyes. This condition is known as congestive heart failure (CHF). Cardiomyopathy is an acquired or inherited condition of the heart muscles. The heart muscles become thicker or enlarged thus decreasing the ability of the heart to pump enough blood through the body (American Heart Association, 2013). In this paper the writer describes the best approach to care for Mr. P, who is hospitalized with
Identify sites where a pulse may be taken in the hospitalized patient 5. Discuss common errors in blood pressure assessment Timothy Smith is a 46 year old male patient. He has returned to the unit from the recovery room for post-op hernia repair under general anesthesia. You take his vital signs 99F, P/80, RR/18, BP-120/84, O2Sat 94% RA, 3/10 pain abdomen. Focused Questions: 1.
Atrium receives blood coming from the body to the heart (right atrium) or the lungs (left atrium), while ventricle pumps blood to the body (left ventricle) and to the lungs (right ventricle). Heart failure occurs when any of these rooms loses its ability to provide blood flow in normal
Chest x-ray will directly image blood clots causing blockages in the pulmonary arteries. 12-lead ECG will monitor heart rhythm and detect heart dysrhythmias. (Goldhaber & Morrison, 2010). The physician orders ABGs on room air instead of with supplemental O2 in order to get a more accurate lab result of the patient’s condition without supplemental oxygen. Case Study Progress.
The numbness in his lips and face made it almost impossible for him to communicate, but the hospital staff managed to at least understand the address he gave them and they sent an ambulance. As Dr. Westwood was rushed to the hospital, his breathing became increasingly labored. The patient presented in the ED with diaphoresis, motor dysfunction, paresthesias, nausea, and an ascending paralysis that started in his legs and spread to the upper body, arms, face, and head. The patient was cyanotic and hypoventilating. Within 30 minutes of presenting in the ED, Dr. Westwood developed bradycardia with a BP of 90/50 mmHg.
For example, coronary artery disease and heart attack, high blood pressure (hypertension), faulty heart valves, damage to the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy), myocarditis, heart defects you're born with (congenital heart defects), abnormal heart rhythms (heart arrhythmias), Other diseases. Chronic diseases — such as diabetes, HIV, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or a buildup of iron (hemochromatosis) or protein (amyloidosis) —also may contribute to heart failure.
