4) what is the final diagnosis of patient # 2 heart condition name the (disease)? Enlarge heart, heart failure hypertrophic cardiomyopathy because the thickened heart muscle and chambers are thick and stiff and don't allow heart to fill. 5) describe how G.L condition caused syncope following exercise?…
Second, their left side of the heart has a blockage and blood buildup, which is abnormal and will not have a normal electrical signal such as the P-wave and T-wave, throughout the heart. The P-wave and T-wave will have a distinct pattern because the atrial and ventricle will not depolarize and repolarize normally. The EKG for this patient will have a longer QRS complex and T wave because the left atrial and ventricles will not repolarize efficiently. The P-R and Q-T interval will also have a longer range than 0.20 second due to weaken electrical conduction that causes by the heart…
1. What does the PR interval on the ECG represent? What is the normal value? The P-R interval is the interval between the beginning of electrical excitation of the atria and the beginning of excitation of the ventricles and its normal value is 0.12- 0.20 seconds.…
- The purpose of the Electrocardiogram test is to monitor and measure the quantity and quality of the electrical rhythm of the heart. Understanding the electrical rhythms of the heart is important because your heart's electrical system controls the timing of your heartbeat and you would have to understand how the electrical rhythm of the heart should be to know what problems may be occurring. There are three common variables that are encountered in an electrocardiogram which are the direction in which the signal is moving, the speed at which the signal is moving and the mass of the tissue through which the signal is moving. There are three different parts of an electrical signal which are P wave, QRS complex and T wave. P wave passes slowly…
Kristi Hatcher submitted 5/16-8/16 progress notes, 3/16-7/16 sleep data & mood charts, 3/16-5/16 & 8/16 bm data ; since James’s last visit, he had his annual physical, 8/3/16 Therapy appointment was cancelled by Hillside Mental Health Center and has not been rescheduled, no Region IV reportable behavioral incidents but staff have reported that James stays up late and therefore has issues getting up for work during the weekday, still working with the PHP lawn crew, per James’s QDDP Sandra Ellis he has been referred Vocational Rehabilitation for evaluation.…

The article that I choose was called “Targeted Temperature Management at 33°C versus 36°C after Cardiac Arrest”. The objective of the article was to find at which temperature was it better to induce hypothermia on a patient who had gone into cardiac arrest in an out-of-hospital scenario to prevent neurological damage and the. The researchers hoped that if by inducing hypothermia early on after the cardiac arrest and loss of consciousness there would be little to no brain damage. The researchers believed that in order to get a better understanding of cooling temperatures the patients were to be randomly assigned a cooling temperature either at 33 ° C or at 36 °C group. From there a set of test would be preformed to gather data on which group…
A 4 hours old age neonatal male with 37 weeks gestational age which admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) because of bradycardia (60-70 beats/ minute) and respiratory distress . His mother was 22 years old (Gravid 2, Para 1, Abortion 0) with normal examination and vital signs and pervious normal delivery. In 29 weeks gestational age she was reported to our emergency department because of fetus bradycardia (70-80 beats/ minute) in routine abdominal sonographic study. Ultrasound revealed no evidence of fetal distress. Fetal echocardiography showed complete heart block without any structural heart damage (isolated congenital heart block).…
Database and Assessment Table 1 – Physical Nursing Assessment Data GENERAL: Patient is an 88 year-old Caucasian male. Vital signs stable at 97.3°F, 82BPM, 22 breaths/min, 84/54mmHg, 100% on 1.5lL O2, 0/10 pain, patient weight 58kg. SKIN/HAIR/NAILS: Skin was thin and fragile, warm and moist, skin color slightly pale, skin tear on left upper arm measuring 3 inches, no bleeding or pain.…
1. What are Greg’s new signs and symptoms? Do you have a diagnosis for Greg’s problem? Greg have new signs and symptoms which are a heart rate and or low pulse, low blood pressure, and an increased sodium level.…
Concerns that the student nurse would want to monitor for would be signs of decreased cardiac output and lack of blood flow to his peripheral tissues that would be evidenced by edema and relatively colder skin (Jarvis, 2008). R.M. also had weakened pedal pulses of +1 bilaterally. Another abnormal assessment was with R.M.'s musculoskeletal system. R.M. had very limited range of motion especially in his lower extremities greatly due to arthritis and a very labor intensive job his entire working life. In R.M.'s patient's chart, it stated he had functional decline and joint limitations.…
Therefore, with this being said, the importance of this research and developing a process to implement to prevent these deadly arrhythmias from occurring is essential in providing more efficient care. Once the initial research was completed, each staff member on my unit was educated on QTc interval prolongation. There are several factors that come into play when monitoring for a prolonged QT interval. When assessing and looking over our patient information, each staff member were to make note of their patients current medication list, as…
Cindy, Wow! What a whirlwind year for 2016….with perpetually moving forward projects, commitments and workload! First, you were doing double duty at the beginning of the year, covering for me while I was off with knee replacement recovery. You did this with grace and your everlasting happiest place on earth approach, despite adding the complexities of the programs to your daily work life.…
He has a history of smoking and arteriosclerosis, as well as a family history of CVA and diabetes. Mr. Q has family history of CVA and diabetes, both are predisposing factors of a CVA (VanMeter & Hubert, 2014, p. 348). Mr. Q’s family history of CVA and diabetes, coupled with his history of smoking and arteriosclerosis, lead to Mr. Q being at a high risk for an ischemic CVA (VanMeter & Hubert, 2014, p. 348). Both smoking and arteriosclerosis lead to high blood pressure, and Mr. Q’s initial BP is 220/110, which is extremely high. Smoking leads to arteriosclerosis (VanMeter & Hubert, 2014, p. 236).…
