Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Congestive Heart Failure or CHF is a severe circulatory congestion due to decreased myocardial contractility, which results in the heart’s inability to pump sufficient blood to meet the body’s needs. In general, causes can be classified according to the following: a. Volume overload may cause the right ventricle to hypertrophy to compensate for added volume. b. Pressure overload usually results from an obstructive lesion, such as COA c. Decrease contractility can result from problems such as sever anemia, asphyxia, heart block and acidemia.
Question 1 There are numerous potential affects due to difficulties with continence in relation to the individuals' self esteem, health and day to day activities; these include: o Low mood stemmed from lack of dignity and privacy. o Social isolation and embarrassment. o Individual lives in fear of being unable to manage their needs. o Deterioration to their health caused by dehydration due to wanting to prevent incontinence or wanting to reduce mobilising to facilitate needs. o Moisture damage to the skin can be caused to the individual due to being unable to cope with or without aids or support.
Physical symptom of the disease includes lack of coordination, uncontrolled movements and problems with eating and swallowing. This will cause for a need of a nurse or all day care of the person because they will not be able to perform task on their own. Behavioral problems are said to come from damage to the brain as the disease progress frustration and depression has a serious affect on the person. Everyone does not go through the same sypmptom people are affected differently. The disease can consist of : clumsiness, uncontrolled continual muscular contractions, loss of balance, slurred speech, walking difficulty and stumbling, and falling.
Initially it would rise in an attempt to compensate and hold the blood pressure up, but after awhile the body would tire and his heart rate would fall. With his blood pressure low he would not be getting proper circulation to his brain and this would lead to disorientation. 4. It would be a very poor idea. The alcohol in the beer is a diuretic and would make him urinate more than typical.
People with dementia may become dehydrated if they are unable to communicate or recognise that they are thirsty, or if they forget to drink. This can lead to headaches, increased confusion, urinary tract infection and
In the middle stages of Alzheimer’s individuals will need more support to help them eat, wash, dress and use the toilet. They are more likely to become very forgetful and neglect their own personal care. They will also become upset due to losing their independence and due to chemical imbalances within the
These conditions harm your heart, making the heart muscle hardened or thick. The harmed muscle either can't unwind appropriately to let the pumping assemblies of the heart, the ventricles, load with enough blood, or it can't contract legitimately to give the ventricles a chance to pump sufficiently out blood. The left ventricle is the primary pumping chamber, and heart failure normally begins on the left side. At the point when the left ventricle can't contract enough, it is called systolic heart failure. At the point when the left ventricle can't load with enough blood, it is called diastolic heart failure.
The symptoms of a urinary tract infection include cloudy or bloody urine, which may have a foul or strong odor, fever, pain or burning with urination, pressure or cramping in the lower abdomen (usually middle) or back, and strong need to urinate often, even right after the bladder has been emptied. Symptoms of dehydration can sometimes be confused with dementia in older people, monitoring fluid intake on charts for elderly people with dementia can help to ensure sufficient hydration and avoid the risk of dehydration. Older people are especially prone to dehydration because of age related changes in how water is used in the body. Elderly people with dementia may be at more risk of dehydration due to swallowing difficulties. Water is the best option for hydration, but any fluids count towards the daily requirement.
Renal causes may be due to reduced renal function. The causes are acute and chronic kidney failure, acute and chronic nephritis, tubular necrosis and other renal diseases. Post renal causes may be due to reduced excretion of urea. And these could be due to obstruction to urinary outflow such as by calculi, bladder and prostate tumours, or a severe infection (Bishop ML 6th edition). The main cause of uremia is damage to the kidneys, whether because of Bright’s disease (glomerulonephritis), hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or some other disorder that impairs kidney
