hypoglycemia
definition of hypoglycemia
low blood sugar levels 70 mg,
definition of ischemic stroke
happens when a blood clot of plaque blocks an artery in the brain cutting off blood flow and oxygen causing brain cells to die. most common
clinical manifestations for hemorrhagic stroke
severe headache, confusion, trouble speaking, one sided weakness, numbness, vision problems, incontinance
risk factors for DVT
imobility, recent surgery, cancer, obesity, smoking, older adults.
risk factors for ineffective clotting
genetics, vitamin k deficiency, vitamin b6 and b12 deficiency, liver, kidney disease, blood thinners, low platelet count
clinical manifestations for hypoglycemia
shaking, sweating, dizzyness, confusion, and hunger
clinical manifestations of ischemic stroke
neurological symptoms including face, arm, or leg weakness, on one side, trouble speaking of understanding speach, and vision problems
risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke
high blood presure, head trauma, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes, older adults, males.
interventions for DVT
frequent mobility, mechanical devices, leg excercises, encourage fluids, educate patients, avoid massaging and heat.
interventions for ineffective clotting
monitor for bleeding and clots, bleeding precautions (soft toothbrush, electric razor) promote mobility and circulation, patient education.
risk factors for hypoglycemia
insulin, sulfon, incorrect timing, skipping meals, increased physical activity, alcohol, kidney and liver disease.
risk factors of ischemic stroke
high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and sedentary lifestyle,
interventions for hemorrhagic stroke
neurological assessment, watch for signs, maintain airway, prevent aspiration, mobility, education on lifestyle.
complications with DVT
pulmonary embolism which occurs when a clot travels to the lungs, and post thrombotic syndrome, a long term condition causing leg pain swelling and skin changes.
definition of excessive clotting
the blood clots more easily which can block blood flow and lead to serious health issues like stroke heart attack, and DVT.
interventions for hypoglycemia
checking blood glucose, iv dextrose, glucagon, educate
interventions of ischemic stroke
neurologic assessments, airway management, mobility, nutrition, education
what is DVT
deep vein thrombosis is where a blood clot forms in a deep vein usually in the legs or pelvis, a clot can break off and travel to the lungs
clinical manifestations for excess clotting
pain, swelling, redness, warmth, DVT, shortness of breath, chest pain, PE, headache, stroke, heart attack
risk factors for excess clotting
sedentary lifestyle, heart conditions, pregnancy, birth control, surgery.
what are counterregulatory hormones
epinephrine, norepinephrine, glucagon, HGH, and cortisol.
definition of hemorrhagic stroke
happens when a blood vessel in or around the brain leaks or bursts causing bleeding that damages brain tissue by increasing pressure and cutting off oxygen
clinical manifestations for DVT
swelling in one leg, pain, tenderness, cramping, increased warmth, red or discolored skin.
clinical manifestations for ineffective clotting
easy bruising, prolonged bleeding after a minor cut, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, blood in urine/stool, heavy periods.
interventions for excess clotting
promote circulation, anticoagulants, patient education, early ambulation, leg exercise, compression socks, positioning, watch for signs.
