Cerebrovascular disease: cerebral atherosclerosis, stroke
Peripheral vascular disease
Nephrosclerosis: kidney damage and diseases.
Retinal damage
Compare and contrast the values associated with blood pressures
Normal SBP <120 and DBP <80
Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89
Hypertension, stage 1: 140-159 or 90-99
Hypertension, stage 2: ≥160 or ≥100
relationship of blood pressure and the concept of perfusion
Blood pressure must be adequate to maintain tissue perfusion at rest and during activity. If someone is in a hypotensive state for a long time, this would mean that there is a decrease in perfusion to tissues.
primary hypertension
elevated BP without an identifying cause 90-95% of HTN cases. may have headache, fatigue, dizziness, dyspnea, and will eventually lead to organ damage
secondary hypertension
elevated BP resulting from a cause 5-10% of HTN.
secondary HTN causes include
kidney disease or disruption of BP that stimulates RAAS such as endocrine disorders, hyperthyroidism, high spinal cord injury, stimulants, pregnancy
non pharmacological treatment of hypertension
weight loss, health diets, sodium restriction, potassium supplements, increase physical activity, limit drinking
first line therapy for stage 1 hypertension includes
thiazide diuretics, calcium channel blockers, ace inhibitors, and ARBs
DASH diet
consists of lowering salt intake, increasing potassium, calcium, magnesium, and fiber. The diet should have low concentrated carbohydrates and be low calorie.
orthostatic hypertension
pt is normotensive and their BP decreased when rising to an upright position causing symptoms of lightheadedness or dizziness
what is going on with a patient who has orthostatic hypertension
may represent when a pt has a decreased blood volume or overmedicating a patient.
MAP (mean arterial pressure)
MAP is the average pressure within the arterial system that is felt by organs in the body. MAP of 60 is needed for proper organ perfusion. lower MAP can lead to ischemia and cellular death
how to figure out the MAP
((systolic) + (diastolic x2))/3
treatment of a hypertensive crisis.
treatment needs to occur within an hour. BP should be lowered gradually. Cardiac and renal function needs to monitored.
peripheral vascular disease
PVD is the thickening of the arterial walls which narrows and stiffens the arteries in the UE and the LE or an obstruction of the vein by a thrombus.
risks for peripheral vascular disease.
high BP, high cholesterol, old age, male, smoking, diabetes
relationship of peripheral vascular disease with the concept of perfusion.
Peripheral vascular disease makes it harder for blood to travel to these areas. decreases perfusion means decreased O2 to these tissues and muscles.
Compare and contrast the peripheral venous disease and peripheral arterial disease
PAD: narrowing of the arteries, shows as cramping, pain, tired legs that worsens during walking and subsides with rest
PVD: inadequate return of venous blood from the legs to the heart shows as achy cramping in legs worsens with standing and improves with elevation
6 Ps with peripheral arterial disease
pain, pallor, pulselessness, paresthesia, paralysis, poikilothermia
poikilothermia
loss of temperature regulation
treatment of a patient with peripheral venous disease
exercise, elevating the affected area, bandaging or special compression stockings can help, but in more severe cases blood thinning medication may be prescribed like heparin
prophylaxis treatment for PVD
early mobilization after surgery, elastic stockings, anticoagulation
treatment of a patient with peripheral arterial disease
lifestyle modifications: smoking cessation, physical exercise, DASH diet, glucose control, BP control, control hyperlipidemia, antiplatelet agents

Two risk factors for coronary artery disease that increase the workload of the heart and increase myocardial oxygen demand are
hypertension and smoking
Microvascular angina
pain with coronary spasm of major coronary artery
Care for angina
o Decrease O2 demand and or increase O2 supply
o Short acting nitrates
o Long acting nitrates
o If they feel dizzy or lightheaded they should not take any more or BP will drop too low
o Patient will most likely get a headache
If they do not get tingling under tongue then
med most likely outdated
cardiac output is determined by
HR, stroke volume, BP
perfusion
force of blood movement generated by cardiac output
relationship of heart failure with the concept of perfusion.
During heart failure we have a decrease in cardiac output which decreases blood pressure which therefore is an impairment of perfusion. Having a perfusion impairment means we have less blood flow to our brain and tissues which can lead to systemic effects
population at risk for heart failure
You are at more risk for developing heart failure if you are of African American descent, are obese, a smoker, have high cholesterol, CAD, HTN, DM, or pulmonary hypertension.
Differentiate between clinical signs of right sided and left sided heart failure
left: dyspnea, cough, crackles, wheezes, blood tinged sputum, tachypnea, restlessness, cyanosis, fatigue
right: ascites, enlarged liver or spleen, distended jugular veins, weight gain, edema
Differentiate between right sided and left sided heart failure
right occurs when the right ventricle fails to contract effectively and causes back up into systemic
left sided HF results from left ventricular dysfunction and causes back up into the lungs
HFrEF
systolic heart failure
ejection fraction of systolic heart failure
is lower because the ventricle loses the ability to generate enough pressure to eject blood forward. EF usually less than 45% and can go as low at 10%
HFpEF
diastolic heart failure
diastolic heart failure
inability of the ventricle to relax and fill during diastole.Is often referred to as heart failure with a normal EF. decrease stroke volume and cardiac output
systolic heart failure
inability for the heart to pump blood effectively
Ejection Fraction
he amount of blood ejected from the ventricle with each contraction.The normal EF is 55-60%
FACES
fatigue, limitation in activity, chest congestion, chest congestion, cough, edema, SOB
stages of HF diagnosis
stages A: high risk for developing CHF
stages B: structural disorder of heart
stage C: past or current symptoms of CHF
Stage D is end-stage disease
core measure of heart failure
education and documentation on: medications, symptoms worsening, follow up with physician, daily weight, activity, dietary restrictions, smoking cessation
Explain the relationship of coronary artery disease and the concept of perfusion
If the lipid deposits in the intima develop to become complicated lesions, blood flow is severely decreased
coronary artery disease
type of blood vessel disorder that is included in the general category of atherosclerosis. is characterized by lipid deposits within the intima of the artery
population at risk for coronary arterial disease (CAD)

Nitroglycerine meds
“nitrates” dilate peripheral and coronary blood vessels
nitroglycerine administration
take a nitro tablet sublingually If no relief, repeat every 5 minutes for a max of three doses. Tell them of potential symptoms they will fell: headache, dizziness, flushing. you can also take it by ointment and transdermal patches
percutaneous coronary intervention
a method of increasing blood flow to the heart when it is at least 70% occluded with plaque. The tip of a catheter with a deflated balloon is inserted to the appropriate coronary artery and then the balloon is inflated and compresses the plaque
when is Percutaneous coronary intervention used
used if a coronary block is amenable to treatment. have this procedure done: within 90 minutes of MI symptoms or STEMI
thrombolytics
medications to dissolve dangerous clots in blood vessels and improve blood flow and prevent damage to tissues and organs during heart attacks

Elevated serum levels
HTN
Tobacco use
Physical inactivity
Interpersonal communication
exchange of information between two or more people. uses verbal and nonverbal cues to accomplish personal and relational goals.
Transpersonal communication
specific responses that encourage the expression of feelings and ideas and convey acceptance and respect. When you confront someone in a therapeutic way you help them become more aware of inconsistencies in his or her feeling, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors.
role of the message
The message is what is actually said plus nonverbal communication. The role of the message is to clearly communicate some kind of information to the receiver.
channels in communication
means of sending and receiving messages through visual, auditory, and tactile senses. Facial expressions send visual messages; spoken words travel through auditory channels. Touch uses tactile channels
feedback in communication
Feedback is a response to the message. Feedback can be positive, negative,verbal, or nonverbal.

Hospital acquired pneumonia
occurs 48 hours or longer after admission to the hospital, highest mortality rate of nosocomial infections
Aspiration pneumonia
abnormal entry of secretions into airway, usually history of a loss of consciousness, gag and cough reflexes suppressed, tube feedings are a risk factor, ventilator support is a risk factor

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
COPD is essentially chronic airflow limitation. It encompasses both the diseases of emphysema and chronic bronchitis
causes of COPD
inflammation and structural changes of the airway bronchioles with increased mucus blocking airflow, and also the destruction and enlargement of air spaces such as alveoli also limit air movement resulting in COPD.
clinical manifestations associated with COPD
Easily fatigued, frequent respiratory infections (pneumonia), use of accessory muscle use, orthopneic, Wheezing, chronic cough, dyspnea, prolonged expiratory time, thin in appearance but can be heavy. Digital clubbing.
emphysema
pink puffer - Enlargement of the air space distal to the terminal bronchioles. Increased CO2 retention No cyanosis Dyspnea Ineffective cough Hyperresonance on percussion Barrel chest Usually a smoker Prolonged respiratory time with accessory muscle usage Leads to right sided heart failure
chronic bronchitis

Tendency to hyperventilate and retain co2 Usually dusky to cyanotic Sputum production Hypoxia and hypercapnia Acidosis Edematous Increased resp rate Exertional dyspnea Digital clubbing Usually a smoker Cor pulmonale, cardiac enlargement
huff coughing
in comfortable sitting position, slightly inhale deeper than usually, activate stomach to blow out air in 3 even breaths while making the sounds huff huff huff. Less tiring than a traditional cough.
mild anxiety
shows with slight tension, effective problem solving, and increased alertness, energy, and concentration. Example: a person might show mild anxiety before a test
moderate anxiety
may heighten productivity and abilities but also may cause selective inattention. Functional but uncomfortable for short periods of time, as well as short periods of effective problem solving. The person will be tense and alert but have a narrowed perceptual field. Example: giving a presentation in front of the class.
severe anxiety
Uncomfortable and not useful. Requires intervention. Consumes energy. The person has a very narrow perceptual field and focuses on details. They do not necessarily see the “big picture”. They will be unaware of behaviors and effect on others. Helpful interventions include decreasing stimuli, giving simple commands or directions, and attending to the person’s physical needs. Interventions that are not helpful include increasing the unknowns and stimuli, letting the person take charge, and substance abuse
strategies to decrease stress in patients
time management, meditation, journal writing, yoga, diet, open communication, positive self talk, problem solving
Betty Neuman’s Systems Theory
used to describe the concepts of stress and reaction to stress. views a patient, family, or community as constantly changing in response to the environment and stressors.
actions that are successful in a crisis
maintain a safe, calm, quiet atmosphere, make slow and deliberate movements, and to ensure the safety of everyone around. Additionally, the nurse can ask the pt to describe the problem and ask about past situations and learn about how the pt coped.
responsibilities of a nurse when a legal 2000 is in place
keeping the patient’s safe and should identify when the patient is putting themselves or others at risk
indicators of stress
sociocultural indicator, spiritual indicator, emotional indicator, and intellectual indicator
Sociocultural indicator
a person avoiding meeting with people, family, friends
Spiritual indicator
a person verbalising discontent with a higher being
Emotional indicator
anger and crying
Intellectual indicator
someone setting unreasonable standards for perfection
maturational crisis
Varies with life stages
In preadolescents: puberty, school, and sex
In adults: major life changes including starting a family, losing their parents, and accepting physical changes
situational crisis
external sources such as job changes, car crash, illness, caregiver stress
General Adaptation System and the responses within the body
alarm stage, resistance stage, exhaustion stage
alarm stage
flight-or-fight reaction, Rising hormone levels result in increased blood volume, blood glucose levels, epi and NE amounts, HR, blood flow to muscles, oxygen intake
resistance stage
body stabilizes by normalizing and repairing damage, Hormone levels, HR, BP, and cardiac output should return to normal
exhaustion stage
body is no longer able to resist effects of stressor and has depleted the energy to maintain adaptation
what happens if stressor continues into exhaustion stage
continuous stress causes progressive breakdown of compensatory mechanisms. Chronic demands leads to chronic activation which can lead to excessive wear and tear on bodily organs called allostatic load.
diseases that are related to stress responses
Depression, Hypertension, Insomnia, Fibromyalgia, Eating disorder, Low back pain Menstrual irregularities, Infertility
type 1 diabetes
disorder of glucose metabolism that is related to absent or insufficient insulin supply and/or poor utilization.
type 2 diabetes
the pancreas produces insulin, but the body doesn’t use it efficiently. Thus there is insulin resistance and then there is hyperinsulinemia (or a lot of insulin).
symptoms of hyperglycemia
dry mouth, extreme thirst, frequent urge to urinate, drowsiness, frequent bed wetting, abdominal pain
symptoms of hypoglycemia
“Cold and clammy, patient needs some candy.”
sweating, trembling, dizziness, mood changes, hunger, headaches, blurred vision, extreme tiredness and paleness
actions for a patient who has hypoglycemia
Consume 15 grams of glucose, in the form of simple carbs for conscious patients. Check after 15 minutes, then repeat 15 grams of glucose if necessary. For unconscious patients: give glucagon D50
somogyi effect
High blood sugar in early morning- low blood sugar at night causes rebound high blood sugar in the morning
Dawn phenomenon
High blood sugar early in morning. A decrease in insulin with an increase in glucagon and cortisol cause hyperglycemia in morning
type of insulin
rapid acting, short acting, intermediate, and long acting
rapid acting
15 minute onset, peaks in 1 hour and works 2-4 hours
short acting
‘regular’ - w/in 30 min, peaks 2-3 hrs, works 3-6 hours- Humulin R and Novolin R
intermediate acting
2-4 hours, peaks 4-12 hrs, works 12-18 hrs - humulin N
long acting
several hrs after, lowers B glucose over course of 24 hrs- Glargine
Basal
mimics what pancreas does to keep blood sugar in normal range when a person’s not eating - Lantus/Levemir
Bolus
mimics the increase of insulin the pancreases sends out in response to food - Humalog/Novolog
Metformin
Oral (used as first line treatment for type II, Type I canNOT take this)
what class is metformin
Biguanide
normal Hbg A1C
6.5%
amount glycosylated hgb depends on
B-glucose level
DKA
Increase in ketones (can’t metabolize glucose - using fat, ketones are acidic) causes metabolic acidosis, osmotic diuresis causes hypovolemia and electrolyte depletion. Renal failure is possible. High respiratory rate and fruity breath.
HHNKS
hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome - there is enough insulin to prevent DKA, but not enough to prevent severe hyperglycemia, osmotic diuresis, fluid depletion/hypovolemia, electrolyte depletion. Older adults with impaired renal function usually, so be mindful of renal function when treating.
DKA treatment
fluid and electrolyte replacement - especially K+, insulin to correct hyperglycemia after fluid balance is improved, insulin allows water to enter the cells
HHNKS treatment
fluid replacement is key! - then, insulin treatment - then, management of electrolyte levels. Give IV insulin until glucose levels are between 250 and 300 until pt is alert
macrovascular effects of Diabetes.
Large-medium sized blood vessels Ischemic heart disease Cerebrovascular disease Peripheral vascular disease- atherosclerotic and blood clots HTN
microvascular effects of Diabetes
Eyes (retina) -> retinopathy which can lead to glaucoma
Nerve cells -> neuropathy which can lead to injury
Kidney -> nephropathy which leads to renal failure
Skin -> Dermopathy which leads to potential skin impairment
Sliding scale
Dosage for the patients glucose levels. It does have have conflicts because it can lead to inconsistent glucose readings
Basal bolus insulin
Pt will receive a basal insulin that mimics what the pancreas does to keep the blood sugar within normal range. This is long-lasting insulin injection.
The bosul insulin mimics the increase in insulin that the pancreas will send in response to food. Short lasting.
Correctional insulin is given for high blood sugars in addition to the bolus.
educational priorities for patients with Diabetes
Take blood glucose 3-4 xday Know cost of strips (approx. $1 per strip) Keep strict regime Maintain med regim Take fluids and limit simple carbs Check ketones
treatment plan for a patient with Diabetes type 1
Insulin regimen developed to coordinate w/ pt’s eating pattern-needs to be stable
Limit alcohol intake
Education!
treatment plan for a patient with Diabetes type 2
Calorie reduction Limit alcohol intake Reduction of total fat, unsaturated fat, and simple carbs Regular exercise Monitoring of glucose, A1C, lipds Education
HAIs
hospital acquired infection. primary cause of preventable death and disability among hospitalized patients.
CLABSI
central line associated bloodstream infection. Microorganisms can enter the bloodstream and contaminate CVCs through 2 mechanisms: extraluminally or intraluminally.
extraluminally
most common - patient’s skin organisms at the insertion site migrate into the area surrounding the catheter tip
intraluminal
Intraluminal contamination occurs from direct contamination of the catheter through the intravenous (IV) system (needleless systems, hubs, connections).
actions to prevent CLABSI
optimal site selection, maximal barrier precautions, hand hygiene, sterile prep of the insertion site, observer monitoring procedure
CAUTI
catheter associated urinary tract infection. occurs in a patient who had an indwelling catheter in place 48 hours prior to the UTI diagnosis and up to 30 days post removal or discharge
actions to prevent CAUTI
hand hygiene, use smallest bore catheter as possible, indwelling urinary catheter must be secured, date the fully collection bag, check skin condition around the device, remove catheter as soon as possible.
signs of UTI
fever, suprapubic tenderness, acute hematuria, alter mental status, dysuria, urgency
CAUTION
C- Close system catheter selection consider alternatives
A- Aseptic management
U- Universal standard precautions
T- Tie secure catheter to patient tubing to bed
I- Indication for use and to discontinue
O- Obstruction free specimen from sampling port
N- No dependent loops
SSI
surgical site infection. as infection related to an operative procedure that occurs at or near the surgical incision within 30 days of the procedure
actions to prevent SSI
Before surgery, patient should shower or bathe, skin preparation, antimicrobial prophylaxis should be administered only when indicated, glycemic control should be implemented, Normothermia should be maintained in all patients, oxygen should be administered during surgery
