Why would you prescribe an ACE when the JNC8 recommendations is to treat a BPof >140/90 ages 18-59 and150/90 for those 60 and older?

The type of test that is used in order to pinpoint if the person is suffering from pericarditis is to do a cardiac CT. This will be effective in checking the thickness of the pericardium. There are also other tests that are needed to determine the severity of the thickening of the pericardium. A nurse should first provide the needed treatments to manage pain. The key is to make the patient more comfortable so that the other treatments can be administered. Once pain management is resolved which is letter A, the nurse should do letter D as this position is known to be more comfortable for those who are suffering from this disease. Giving oxygen may also be a requirement if the patient cannot breathe. Lastly, letter B can be done.

1. 200j-see guideline 11.5 of the australian guidelines, and page 45 of the uk guidelines.for rectilinear biphasic waveforms the energy should be greater than 120j, and for truncated exponenetial waveforms it should be greater than 150j.theefore, it isrecommended that the initial shock should be at least 150j, with 200j being within the effective range of first and subsequent biphasic shock energy levels.every biphasic manual defibrillator available can deliver 200j.if there is clinical data to support the use of a different energy level for a specific device, then this may be used. the phillips heartstart xl has been shown to be effective at 150j.there is no evidence to suggest a clear benefit for either a fixed or escalating energy level.

The correct answer is option D The right ventricle is the heart chamber most likely to have been opened had the blade penetrated completely. The heart is an organ located in the thoracic chamber of the body. It has four chambers namely: Left and right atria and left and right ventricles. Although the heart is known to lean towards the left side of the thoracic chamber, the right ventricle is located at the sternocostal region and this chamber of the heart would have been greatly affected if the blade had penetrated all through the wall.

ST segment deviation (>0.05 mV)

Chest pressure lasting 20 minutes that occurs at rest, that is all.

Visual changes are more likely to occur with glycosides, such as a blue green vision. Halo or flickering lights does not pertain to them.

I AGREE 10 POUND WT LOSS, THE OTHERS ARE NOT CALLED FOR AT THIS LEVEL.

Lung Congestion (Caused by some back flow in the Atrium) A symptomatic that may lead to Heart Failure Restricted ActivitesMitral regurgitation backflow of blood from the left ventricle during systole. Leaflets of mitral valve is not closing. Chordinae tendinae thickens or fibrous. Caused by degenerative changes to the Mitral valves. May cause lung congestion by the cause of some blood backflowing into the left atrium. Left ventricle Left Atrium Lungs . Usually asymptomatic causing heart failure. Management is the same as patient with heart failure. Restricted activity levels.

Cardiomyopathy (disease of the muscle of the heart) is a series of progressive events that culminates in impaired cardiac output and can lead to heart failure, sudden death, or dysrhythmic types: indilated cardiomyopathy dilated muscle walls hypertrophic cardiomyopathy heart walls are hypertrophic restrictive cardiomyopathy - refers to a group of disorders in which the heart chambers are unable to properly fill with blood because of stiffness in the heart arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy arrhythmia associated with the rv. pvc, v tach and v fibb unclassified cardiomyopathies

1. avoid physical exercise-aortic regurgitation back up of blood from the left ventricle. has no period of rest. result of lesions affecting the integrity of the valves. affects the closing of the valves. may be caused by trauma, encephalitis or the actual deterioration of a prior replacement of a valve. left ventricle dilates to accommodate the increase of blood. muscles are thinking they need more strength resulting in increased force. will hear a high pitch blowing sound when you listening to heart. tell pt to avoid physical exercision. leads to dysrrthmia and treat hf in these pts.

1. complete atb-2. oral hygiene-3. infection prevention-any of the layers of the heart may be affected by an infectious process.diseases are named by the layer of the heart that is affected.diagnosis is made by patient symptoms and echocardiogram.blood cultures may be used to identify the infectious agent and to monitor therapy.treatment is with appropriate antimicrobial therapy. patients require teaching to complete the course of appropriate antimicrobial therapy, and require teaching for infection prevention and health promotion. pt must complete their atb.teach pt infection preventiondont drink after peoplepromoting oral health
