cronic with persistently high BP with no Identifiable cause
most common,resulted fromcombination of genetic and lifestyle factors, genetics, age, sedantary lifestyle, high sodium diet, obesity, alchol consumption
Left ventricular hypertrophy signs are
thickening of heart muscle of left bentricle of the heart resulting in increased left ventricular mass
How to promote gas exchange for emphysema PT. reporting SOB and fatigue
Place PT in high Fowler's position and pursed lip breathing
Cystic Fibrosis findings and interventions
Difficulty breathing and frequent lung infections. Digestive problems, persistent cough with mucus, wheezing, very salty tasting skin
manage symptoms, airway clearance techniques, nutritional support
community health teaching for HYP
150 min of exercise per week
DASH diet
limit alchol
BMI of 18.5 and 24.9
stop snijubg
secondary Hypertensions
High BP from identifiable underlying condition
Kidney disease, thyroid problems, adrenal disease, and obstructive sleep apnea drugs or alcohol
How do you prevent atelectasis in a post-op PT
Deep breathing & cough exercises
have them use the incentive spirometer
What is pulmonary edema
abnormal buildup of excess fluid in lungs
Priority action for a patient having an asthma attack with dyspnea, wheezing, intercostal retraction
a nebulizer treatment
What is the DASH diet
fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, low fat dairyhealth fats from nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil,
high in fiber, potassium, magnesium, calcium and low sodium
orthostatic hypotension is
BP drops significantly when standing up
intervention and description of Strep throat
Antibiotics is primary treatment
saltwater gargles and pain relievers are secondary
Describe pneumonia
infection in lung, by bacteria ,virus, or fungi, leading to inflammation & fluid or pus in air sacs
Order of action for patient having an Asthma attack
Assess respiratory rate, effort, lung sounds
reassure client and stay with them
administer short acting beta agonist albuterol via nebulizer or inhaler per order
apply O3
evaluate response to bronchodilator
Document finding and interventions
Teaching to help with varicose veins
maintaining a health weight
elevate legs when possible
Try not to stand long periods at a time

ECG
Tonsillectomy post op assessment
Check for bleeding, suction and notified Dr if happening, moniter heart rate and airway patency
Bleeding signs are frequently swallowing and anxious with bright red blood in mouth
Post op problems with CABAG
Low BP is dangerous need to maintain adequate blood pressure to ensure proper perfusion and can cause graft failure
