HF and HTN
This condition is very indicative of peripheral vascular disease
What is intermittent claudication?
This vascular condition involves narrowing of arteries in the upper or lower extremities due to atherosclerosis, reducing blood flow.
What is peripheral artery disease (PAD)?
A patient wakes up with high morning blood glucose, but testing at 2–4 AM shows low glucose levels due to excess nighttime insulin followed by rebound hyperglycemia. This phenomenon is called this.
What is the Somogyi effect?
A sudden and usually reversible decrease in kidney function with increased creatinine and decreased urine output is called this condition.
What is acute kidney injury (AKI)?
Clinical findings of kidney disease, cushing's disease, primary aldosteronism, pheochromocytoma, brain tumors & encephalitis, meds, and pregnancy relate to this disease.
What is secondary HTN?
This group of three factors—venous stasis, endothelial injury, and hypercoagulability—explains why venous thrombosis forms.
What is Virchow’s triad?
This condition causes morning hyperglycemia and is treated with an increase in insulin or adjustment of administration time
What is the dawn phenomenon?
A mechanical obstruction of urine outflow that causes urine to back up into the renal pelvis results in this category of AKI.
What is postrenal acute kidney injury?
These conditions of the lungs are different in OAs
What are gradual loss of lung elastic recoil and decreased number of functional alveoli?
A patient with BP 92/36 mmHg has a MAP calculated by the nurse. The MAP calculation is what...
What is MAP = 55 mmHg?
This severe complication of PAD occurs when blood flow is critically reduced, leading to severe ischemia and potential tissue loss in the limb.
What is critical limb ischemia?
A diabetic patient experiences hypoglycemia during exercise because muscular activity increases glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity, and this glucose-lowering effect can persist for this long after exercise.
What is up to 48 hours?
These clinical manifestations: cough, dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, adventitious lung sounds, and CXR is the best method for diagnosis of this disease.
What is pneumonia?
A patient presents with BP 190/125 mmHg, confusion, and severe headache. This hypertensive condition involves target-organ damage and requires immediate hospitalization.
A nurse notes brown discoloration of the lower legs, edema, itching, and a painful ulcer that worsens when the leg is dependent. These findings most strongly indicate this chronic venous disorder.
What is chronic venous insufficiency?
The 3'Ps, weight loss, weakness, fatigue, and diabetic ketoacidosis are clinical manifestations of this disease.
What is T1DM?
This condition is caued by acute tubular necrosis and small-vessel vasculitis.
What is inter-renal/intra-renal acute kidney injury?
Things we want to avoid in COPD pts.
What are mostly-chewing foods, exercises and treatments 1 hour before and after eating, and gas-forming?
A patient with heart failure has an ejection fraction of 30%. This classification of heart failure indicates impaired ventricular contraction and reduced cardiac output.
What is heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or systolic heart failure?
An older adult with diabetes has an ABI test that appears normal or falsely elevated despite symptoms of PAD. This occurs because this vascular change can make arteries less compressible during testing.
What is arterial calcification or stiff arteries?
When taking part in this action, decreased insulin resistance and glucose, reduced triglycerides and LDL, and increased HDL occurs
What is exercise therapy?
What is a rash?
What is a CXR?
