Central nervous system disturbances may be noted with decreased cardiac output. •Observe for chest pain or discomfort; note location, radiation, severity, quality, duration, associated manifestations such as nausea, and precipitating and relieving factors. Chest pain/discomfort is generally indicative of an inadequate blood supply to the heart, which can compromise cardiac output. Clients with heart failure can continue to have chest pain with angina or can re-infarct. •If chest pain is present, have client lie down, monitor cardiac rhythm, give oxygen, run a strip, medicate for pain, and notify the physician.

When the ductus arteriosus refuses to close, the oxygenated blood in the aortic arch passes into the left branch of the pulmonary artery and produces pulmonary hypertension. B. Draw a diagram outlining blood flow related to this clinical complication. C. Be prepared to discuss complications and treatments of this clinical conditional.

The nursing community should use population based and social services to help increase awareness of heart disease and the signs and symptoms of a heart attack. Community health nursing should also take on the task of identifying culturally appropriate approaches to promote heart disease prevention among racial and ethnic populations (“State Program – Ohio”, 2007). By identifying such populations and targeting them specifically, a more useful, understanding program of disease prevention can be developed. An attack on the risk factors that lead to CHD is also called for. Regular screening and treatment for high blood pressure and high cholesterol will help to reduce the risk of CHD “State Program – Ohio”, 2007).
The problem will be tackled in a comprehensive manner and it will address issues touching on cancer and its effects on the psychological well-being of the patient. Among the major things to be covered in this paper is an overview of cancer (what cancer means, the causes of cancer, and the different types of cancers), and the psychological impact of cancer on the patients. More emphasis will be on the psychological impact of cancer on the patients. Cancer Cancer is a type of disease that is characterized mainly by the out of control cell growth hence; it is the wild growth of unusual cells in the body.
