C. The patient interview


D. Standardized goals associated with the diagnosis

A. A problem list

The patient presents with pulmonary edema, tachypnea, tachycardia, hypertension, fever, and cough with frothy sanguinous sputum. What treatments are most commonly ordered initially with this clinical presentation?

Oxygen, nitroglycerin, Loop diuretics, and morphine


Oxygen is to relieve dyspnea, nitroglycerin reduces preload, Loop diuretics (lasix?) promote diuresis and venodilation, And morphine reduces associated anxiety. Sometimes angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors are used to reduce afterload, but size I diuretics are not used to treat a keep on erythema. Calcium channel blockers could induce acute pulmonary edema is used with tocolytics.

Which test is used to determine the size, shape, and movement of cardiac structures?

And echocardiogram which is a form of ultrasound.

A patient with ventricular tachycardia 200 bpm and multiple premature ventricular contractions loses consciousness. What treatment is most common in this situation?

Emergency defibrillation is usually performed in patients with the tech who are also unconscious. Ventricular tachycardia is characterized by three premature ventricular contractions more in a row and a ventricular rate of 100 to 200 bpm the rapid rate of contractions makes VT dangerous as the ineffective beat may run to the person unconscious with no palpable pulse. Detectable rate is usually regular and the QRS complex is greater than 0.12 seconds and often abnormally shaped. The P-wave maybe undetectable with an irregular PR interval is the P wave is present. The P:QRS ratio is difficult to ascertain if the P wave is missing.

The nurse knows that a patient who has just had cardiac surgery has decreased chest tube drainage, muffled heart sounds, tachycardia, and pulsus paradoxes. Most probable cause of the symptoms is:

Cardiac Tamponade May result in decreased chest tube drainage, nothing heart sounds, tachycardia, pulsus paradoxus, decreased urinary output. The pulmonary artery wedge pressure Central venous pressure, and pulmonary artery diastolic pressure equalize. The cause is kinks or instructions in the drainage tube. These tubes may be gently milked to remove obstructions, but the nurse should avoid the creation of negative pressure by stripping, which can damage the surgical site.

After cardiac catheterization and removal of the sheet from the femoral artery, and manual compression device is a fly and usually inflated to: (pressure level)

20mm Hg above the patient's systolic pressure. After catheterization and removal of the sheets must be applied for 5 to 10 minutes to prevent bleeding and hematoma formation. And then compression device is usually applied by a belt around the hips with a pad over The insertion site that is inflated to 20 mm Hg of the patients systolic pressure to promote hemostasis. Digital compression may also be used. Sometimes lidocaine is administered at the site to relieve discomfort, but this may result in vasovagal response, so atropine should be available.

How is ischemia characterize on the electrocardiogram?

Inverted T waves. As the cardiac muscle is damaged, the ST segment is elevated with elevated symmetrical T waves. With a Q-wave myocardial infarction, Q or QS Wavs develop as repolarization is altered or absent. Changes in the Q waves are usually permanent, so old myocardial infarction is evidenced by abnormal Q waves or decreased elevation of the R waves without alterations of ST and T waves. A non-Q wave MI does not cause Q wave changes.

Patient complains of sharp pain in the substernal area or to the left of the sternum, which is referred to the neck, arms, and back. It occurs intermittently and suddenly and increases in intensity with inspiration, coughing, swallowing, or turning of the trunk. It is somewhat relieved by sitting upright. The most likely diagnosis is:

Pericarditis


The symptoms are typical of pericarditis. Angina pain, usually related to exertion, lasts 5 to 15 minutes and is substernal or retrosternal, radiating across chest and sometimes to the inside of the arm, neck, or jaw. Myocardial pain lasts over 15 minutes and occur spontaneously or after an episode of unstable angina. It is substernal or over the pericardium. It may spread across the chest into shoulders and hands. Anxiety pain last 2 to 3 minutes and tends to occur across the chest but does not radiate; however some patients complain of numbness of hands and mouth.

If a patient has an angle systolic pressure of 90 and I brachiocephalic pressure of 120, what is the ankle brachial index?

0.75


Ankle / brachial


And ankle systolic pressure of 90 divided by a brachiocephalic pressure of 120 equals 0.75. Blood pressure at the ankle should be able to or slightly higher than that of the arm. With peripheral arterial disease, the ankle pressure falls. The degree of disease relates to the score:


1.3: normally hi, may indicate calcification of the salon


1-1.1: Normal


<0.5: narrowing of one or more leg vessels


<0.8: moderate, associated with intermittent claudication


<0.6-0.8: borderline perfusion


0.5-0.75: severe disease, ischemia


<0.5: pain even at rest. Limb threatened


0.25: critical limb-threatening condition

Which heart sound indicates atrial Gallup, which is often associated with left ventricular hypertrophy, hypertension, or aortic stenosis?

S4


Yes four is an extra beat (atrial Gallup), occurring just before S1 and producing a triple "Tennessee" rhythm. It is often associated with left ventricular hypertrophy, hypertension, or aortic stenosis. S1 and to our normal heart sounds. I just wanted to Casey onset of systole with closure of both tricuspid and mitral valve. S2 is the end of systole and indicates closure of the pulmonary and aortic valves. S3 is an extra be producing a triple rhythm (Kentucky), And indicates decreased ventricular compliance, often related to left ventricular failure and mitral regurgitation.

Anticoagulation therapy should be given before which of the following procedures?


A. Emergency defibrillation


B. Direct current cardioversion


C. Current and chemical cardioversion


D. Chemical cardioversion

C. direct current cardioversion and chemical cardioversion


There is no time to start anticoagulation when emergency defibrillation as needed. With simulation, blood clots me for within the heart, and when the pulse rate converts to normal, these clubs can travel, increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke; Best, the patient is usually maintained on anticoagulation such as warfarin for up to six months after cardioversion.

T or F? An atrial septal defect is characterized by something of blood returning from the lungs from the left atrium back to the right atrium and into the pulmonary circulation.

True. Ventricular septal defect is characterized by left to right shunt with Eisenmenger's syndrome and 10%, causing increased pulmonary hypertension and right-sided heart failure. Domanik stenosis causes right ventricular hypertrophy and from increased pressure in the right ventricular and decreased pulmonary bloodflow. They were extensive causes left ventricular wall hypertrophy as pressure increases to overcome valvular distance.

Scalerotherapy primarily used to treat:

Varicose veins


Sclerotherapy is used to treat varicose veins. I chemical substance, such as sodium tetradecyl sulfate, is injected into the vein, causing local inflammation and fibrosis, which eventually obliterates the lumen. It is especially effective for the treatment of spider veins are small service varicosities. Microfoam sclerosants, In which the chemical is mixed with air or carbon dioxide to increase service coverage, is sometimes used for deeper and larger varicosities. Compression dressings were applied to the room after sclerotherapy, and compression stockings or one for about five weeks.

What smoking cessation medication must be monitored carefully because of dangerous side effects?

Varenicline (Chantix)


It must be monitored as it can cause mood or behavioral changes, seizures, psychiatric manifestations, and suicidal thoughts. It is one of the most legal drugs in terms of injury and death associated with drug.

What is the benefit of drug-eluting coronary stents as compared to standard stents?

They inhibit the cell proliferation and inflammation and redo stenosis. They're not used to elite antibiotics or anticoagulants, and they are inorganic and are, therefore, not rejected. Drug-eluting stents no more costly than standard stents. Most coronary stents are pre-mounted on an inflatable balloon delivery system, which is carried by catheter to the side of the lesion.

What percentage of the dash diet is total fat?

27%

Internal shifting of fluid or external loss of fluid defines which kind of shock?

Hypovolemic shock.


It occurs when there is in adequate intravascular fluid. The loss is absolute is caused by internal shifting of human or external lots of food, such as with massive hemorrhage, thermal injuries, severe vomiting and diarrhea, or ruptured spleen. The losses relative is related to vasodilation, increased capillary membrane permeability from sepsis or injuries, and decreased colonial membrane permeability from loss of sodium or from diseases, such as hypocrisy arise or cirrhosis.

C. Systolic pressure greater than 140mm Hg

Patient has been treated with unfractionated heparin over five days develops a sudden drop in platelets from 120,000mm3 to to 45,000mm3, suggesting heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, which place is this patient at risk for:

Thrombosis and vessel occlusion - HIT can induce a thrombosis syndrome that increases the patient's risk for thrombosis and vessel occlusion rather than hemorrhage. A platelet count below 50,000mm3 indicates a type II reaction, an autoimmune reaction to heparin; reaction causes heparin antibody complexes to form and a release of platelets factor for, which, in turn, attracts heparin molecules that here to platelets and endothelial mining, stimulating thrombin and platelet clumping. Discontinuation of the heparin and treatment with direct thrombin inhibitors are indicated.

Jugular venous calls can be

Right atrial function

Endothelial dysfunction is associated with:

Hypertension


It is a key factor in the development of atherosclerosis and hypertension. The ability of arteries and arterials to dilate is impaired. Impairment of the endothelium becomes greater, blood-pressure rises. The endothelium mediate hemostasis, congratulations, fibrinolysis, cell proliferation, and cell wall inflammatory mechanisms. Into cereal dysfunction associated with hyperlipidemia it is the cause or effect of hypertension.

Is a person who drinks heavily on one occasion in danger of cardiovascular impairment?

Yes, drinking heavily on one occasion can cause cardiovascular impairment. While the effect of alcohol on the heart is more severe if there is underlying cardiac disease, and overdose about no underlying disorder making cardiac contractions, causing the heart rate increase. Alcohol depresses the autonomic nervous system, which can lead to heart failure, cardiac dysrhythmias (most commonly atrial fibrillation), and cardiac arrest. Sonic drinking can severely damage the heart and blood Bessel, resulting in hypertension and cardiomyopathy.

Other manifestations include low-grade fever, anorexia, weight loss, malaise, splenomegaly, and anemia. Patients with pericarditis present with chest pain, mild fever, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, white blood cell count, and friction rub. It may cause aortic valve dysfunction or mitral valve insufficiency. Patients with myocarditis may present a symptomatically or with fatigue, dyspnea and palpitations the also with sudden cardiac arrest.

Third degree AV block

Pulmonary is characterized by changes in the:

Right ventricle

In renovascular disease, activation of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system results:

Increased blood pressure


Increase blood pressure results from retention of sodium, chloride, and water. Antidiuretic hormone, a pituitary hormone, stimulates the kidneys to conserve volume. Renin is released when blood volume, blood pressure, or osmolarity are reduced, causing the renin angiotensin aldosterone response that changes angiotensin to angiotensin I and then to angiotensin II, a vasoconstrictor that increases blood pressure. It also stimulates The adrenals to release aldosterone, conserves sodium, resulting in higher fluid volume and increased blood pressure.

In some cases, multiple infarct may occur even with normal coronary arteries. Cardiomyopathy with enlargement of the left ventricular muscle is common in chronic users.

An episode of syncope associated with exertional exercise is a manifestation of:

Aortic stenosis


Because exercise results in reduced cerebral blood flow because of peripheral dilation without increased cardiac output. In some cases, the hypotension related to syncope may result in ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia and death.

Surrounding skin off and has a brownish discoloration. Name is moderate to severe. Arterial ulcers are painful, deep, circular, often necrotic authors found on tow tips, to Webb, heels or pressure areas. There is often river on dependency but pallor on foot elevation, And skin is pale, shiny, and cool. Edema is minimal.

What preparation is necessary for a patient scheduled for a radionuclide ventriculogram?

No special preparation is needed.


A sample of blood is withdrawn, labeled with a technetium 99m radionuclide and then is injected it back into the patient. With electrocardiogram guidance, images are obtained during the cardiac cycle. The video is used to evaluate diastolic and systolic function for patients with heart failure from valvular Waze or to monitor the toxic effects of chemotherapeutic drugs.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are contraindicated in patients with:

Renal failure - One of the most serious side effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors is. Renal impairment, especially in patients also taking diuretics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The ace inhibitors are commonly used to treat hypertension and heart failure. They're often combined with diuretics such as fine as I diuretics, hydrochlorothiazide, for hypertension or Lasix for heart failure. The ace inhibitors are sometimes given to patients with diabetes mellitus to prevent diabetic neuropathy.

Is sexual activity after recovery from a myocardial infarction consider to be high risk?
