Decrease in ventricular contraction force

Heart failure, which involves a decrease in ventricular contraction force, is a common condition. Its is caused by an initiating event (such as a heart attach/myocardial infarction) which result in damage to the cardiomyocytes.

1)Why would damaged cardiomyocytes result in reduced ventricular contraction?

2)What is end diastolic and end systolic volume? Describe what may happen to end diastolic and systolic volumes with heart failure.

Basic function of cardiac output

The delivery of sufficient oxygen to the tissues is the basic function of cardiac output. At rest, the heart will pump out 5 Liters/min to satisfy the oxygen demand of the body’s tissues.

1)What happens to cardiac output and cardiac function during intense exercise? Why?

2)What component of the nervous system is responsible for initiating this response?

3)Why do athletes have a much greater maximum cardiac output and cardiac efficiency than non-athletes?

Maintaining client trust and goodwill

Maintaining client trust and goodwill. What strategies would you use to maintain the trust and goodwill you have established with Brenda?

Application of project management methodology

explain the beneficial application of project management methodology in healthcare organizations. Be specific and provide examples. Describe how you would communicate the value of project management to nurses who are unfamiliar with the discipline. Propose at least two strategies for educating nurses about project management methodology and two strategies for motivating nurses to utilize project management methodology.

Critical thinking and clinical reasoning

Critical thinking and clinical reasoning. Discuss the differences between critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and clinical decision-making.

Iron deficiency anemia

Differentiate iron deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic disease. Discuss each disease pathophysiology in relation to hematological concepts.

Complications of cholelithiasis

1.write five complications of cholelithiasis and their explanation.

 

2. evidence-based nursing management for this condition at least 10 (and write the reference used).

Collaborative Caring

Collaborative Caring . So my question is: Why aren’t we all taught to put “please” on our requests (orders) in medical or nursing school? And how about “thank you?”?

Individual struggling emotionally

Identify 6 indicators that an individual is struggling emotionally that one should look out for when providing support

Upper GI Disorders: GERD and Peptic Ulcer

Upper GI Disorders: GERD and Peptic Ulcer. Etiology: Weak lower esophageal sphincter. Discuss the factors that further weaken the sphincter and increase the possibility of acid regurgitation

 

The 5 General Topics of Disease Summary
1. Etiology & risk factors
2. Pathogenesis: The molecular mechanism of the disease process (How the disease process evolves)
3. Clinical Picture: Signs& Symptoms, Sequelae, and Complications
4. Diagnosis: Labs & tests (as well as screening tests and follow-up tests whenever applicable)
5. Pathophysiologic rationale of treatment

 

This summary should cover two topics: 1- GERD.            2- Peptic Ulcer

 

GERD

Etiology: Weak lower esophageal sphincter. Discuss the factors that further weaken the sphincter and increase the possibility of acid regurgitation

Clinical picture: Symptoms and their rational (wherever the acid goes certain symptoms happen: acid in the esophagus, causes heart burn, at the back of tongue, causes metallic bitter taste, pharynx, causes sore throat, larynx, causes hoarseness, carina, causes irritating cough, bronchi, causes bronchospasm)

Diagnosis: Characteristic clinical picture and 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring

Pathophysiologic rationale of treatment: PPI: Agents to reduce gastric acidity to minimize symptoms

 

Peptic Ulcer Disease

Etiology: H.pylori and NSAIDs are the two main causes, and also talk about ZE syndrome

Clinical picture: Symptoms of the two types of PUD (duodenal and gastric ulcers) are very similar

Diagnosis: Upper endoscopy confirms the diagnosis and tells apart the type

The pathophysiologic rationale of treatment: Deal with the cause (Avoid NSAIDs, antibiotics for H.Pylori), and reduce gastric acidity to ensure a suitable environment for the ulcer to heal
