identification of conditions that affect the flow of blood and blood vessels in the brain, usually resulting in strokes (Saladin K. S., 2012). This study aims to explore the effective treatment and prevention of the issue, as well as the incidence of the disease in Germany, and prevalence in both Australia and the United States. 2.0 Cerebrovascular Disease Cerebrovascular disease often leads to strokes, otherwise known as a cerebrovascular accident or CVA (Saladin K. S., 2012). The cause for…

This was the article that was chosen for discussion, because Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a disorder that is not noticed when individuals develop symptoms of the disorder. It is surprising to read that everyday symptoms of dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and etc. can lead to lead to something serious. When there is an increase in an individual’s rapid heartbeat on different occasions, that is a different story. Also, the cause of Postural Tachycardia Syndrome is, because of the Gardasil…

when prescribed to patients. This can be a huge safety concern for patients. Nurses and physicians play a large role in educating the patients about the medication that they are taking. Xarelto is a newer medication used to prevent the risk for VTE, stroke, and heart attacks. (Drugwatch,2015) The medication is known to cause uncontrollable bleeding. Xarelto does not have an antidote to reverse…

related to CVA due to thrombus vs. embolus. Describe the stages in the development of an atheroma. There are a few different pathophysiologies that can lead to a stroke. The most common cause of a stroke is from atheroma, or plaque buildup on the artery wall leading to narrowing and then finally an infarction of the brain, or a stroke (VanMeter & Hubert, 2014, p. 347). The progression of an atherosclerosis, starts with damage to the endothelium of the artery (VanMeter & Hubert, 2014, p. 235).…

known as ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is blocked. Permanent damage to brain tissue occurs at the site due to cell death at the affected area. Certain parts of the brain control different body functions, so when damage occurs this alters how the body works. Per the American Stroke Association, 87% of strokes are ischemic (Doenges, Moorhouse, and Murr, 214) Etiology: There are certain risks that can increase the chance of someone having a stroke. High…

Case study Paper A transient ischemic attack-- also known as a mini-stroke-- occurs when an area of the brain is blocked causing a lack of blood flow. When this occurs, oxygen supply is interrupted and emergency services are needed. TIAs come and go quickly, so “although the symptoms of a TIA may disappear, take it as a warning of an impending, serious ischemic stroke” (“What is a stroke?”, 2010). Care delivery, delegation, and prioritization are important concepts to consider when examining a…

The Synergy Model provides the framework for nurses to manage complex clients experiencing acute exasperation of their illness and to work toward reducing the trajectory of the illness (Hardin & Hussey, 2003). The purpose of this synergy paper is to utilize the AACN Synergy model for patient care to a patient with diabetes mellitus type 2 and high blood pressure in addition to being postoperative. Synergy results when the needs and characteristics of a patient, clinical unit or system are…

referred to as a “stroke” is a life-threatening medical condition that occurs when there is diminished blood flow being delivered to the brain. The two major types of strokes are ischemic and hemorrhagic. An ischemic stroke occurs when there is an obstruction in the brain caused by a blood clot and a hemorrhagic stroke results in sudden bleeding in the brain when a blood vessel ruptures. National Institute of Neurological Disorders [NIND] (2011) reports that nearly 80 percent of strokes account…
