Dennis and Richard were brothers, roughly 60 years old, and would come every week, rain or shine. As they sat next to me and waited for the blood pressure cuff to tighten, they would tell me…

Differences: The Importance of Individuality Many adolescents grow up under the impression that the only way to become successful and respected is to be popular and follow the crowd. Rather than being encouraged to divulge from the crowd, many individuals place themselves behind barriers acting as someone they aren’t simply to avoid facing the harsh judgements people place upon one another.

Teaching Strategies Hypertension is blood pressure that exceeds 140/90 mm Hg or higher (a diagnosis can be established after three or more blood consecutive pressure readings). Antihypertensive medication is often used to reduce blood pressure. The blood pressure is the amount of blood the heart pumps and the resistance of blood flow in the arteries. If the heart pumps more blood than needed, or the arteries become narrower the result will be a higher blood pressure (3). The main purpose for…

It is metabolized mainly by the liver so it needs dose reduction in liver impairment. Its half-life is moderately extended in renal impairment. The effect of renal impairment on argatroban dosage adjustment is unclear. Some studies which were done on dialysis patients used the same dose in normal renal patients with no additional adverse…

Hyponatremia Hyponatremia is when the amount of salt (sodium) in your blood is too low. When sodium levels are low, your cells absorb extra water and swell.

Many patients have multiple diagnoses when they are admitted in the hospital care setting. My particular patient eight different diagnoses so I had multiple options to choose from to write this paper about. I decided to select hyponatremia because I know electrolyte imbalance is a very common issue. The Understanding Pathology textbook by Sue E. Heuther and Kathryn L. McCane state that hyponatremia is a sodium deficit or a serum sodium level that is less than 135 mEq/L. This in turn leads to…
