yuradex [85]

Answer:

Heart failure

Explanation:

A client with heart failure has decreased cardiac output caused by the heart's decreased pumping ability. A buildup of fluid occurs, causing dyspnea, dependent edema, hepatomegaly, crackles, and jugular vein distention. A client with pulmonary embolism experiences acute shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, hemoptysis, and fever. A client with cardiac tamponade experiences muffled heart sounds, hypotension, and elevated central venous pressure. A client with tension pneumothorax has a deviated trachea and absent breath sounds on the affected side as well as dyspnea and jugular vein distention.

When a medical assistant with discharge instructions is with the patient, what important information should the medical assistan
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

When the patient has recovered sufficiently or can be properly treated somewhere else, he will be discharged from the hospital.

To determine when people should be discharged, the doctor assesses the risk of developing a problem due to hospitalization (such as contracting an infection) in relation to the benefits of being treated in the hospital.

If people can be treated appropriately outside the hospital, it is usually best for them to be at home, even if the disease that brought them to the hospital has not been completely resolved.

The patient may complete treatment outside the hospital if

They are able to receive food, water and medicines through their mouths.

They can get the prescription drugs.

Your pain is reduced to tolerable levels (but not necessarily completely relieved) by medications.

They can move around the residence and take care of themselves or get the help they need.

Your condition does not require advanced daily monitoring with hospital equipment.

Follow-up appointments with your doctors have been scheduled.

Prior to hospital discharge, team members can assess the patient's ability to move safely and ask questions to determine whether the patient is likely to need more help after discharge. A discharge planner or a social worker at the hospital can predict what problems are likely and make suggestions about them and provide the necessary home medical care services, which may include a home nurse, a home physiotherapist, and equipment such as a wheelchair or shower. However, people and family members should be involved in the plans to make sure they are appropriate.

If additional treatment is required temporarily or permanently after an hospitalization, the patient will usually be sent to another facility. The patient can go to a rehabilitation facility or a nursing home (a specialized care home).

Before leaving the hospital, persons or family members should make sure that they receive detailed follow-up treatment instructions and that they understand the instructions. They should obtain a written schedule for the use of all their medicines and for follow-up consultations. Unless this type of arrangement has been taken prior to discharge, the patient should call their usual doctor to make a follow-up appointment as soon as they arrive home. It is important that the patient informs the nurse or attendant that he/she is just discharged from the hospital and that he/she needs to make an appointment for the next three to ten days, to ensure that appropriate follow-up care is received.

If the patient is discharged to another facility, a written summary of his or her hospital evaluation and treatment plan (called a transition care record) should be sent with him and another copy should be faxed to the facility.

Regardless of whether people are discharged to another unit or home, they should receive documents that include the following information:

The reason for hospitalization

The main procedures or tests carried out

The main diagnosis in high

Any recommended nutritional restrictions or modifications

Any activity restrictions (such as walking, exercising or driving) or movement

The need for assistance devices such as wheel chair, a walk, crutches, a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine or oxygen

Instructions for the care of surgical incisions or wounds

If applicable, instructions on how and when to measure your temperature, blood pressure, blood sugar level or weight at home

A list of all symptoms that require contact with your doctor or return to the emergency department

Dates and times of follow-up appointments with your doctors

A list of current medicines, including what doses should be administered, how often per day doses are given, and how long the medicines should be given

Sometimes, after people are discharged, their clinical condition worsens, and they need to return to the hospital for additional care.

Get medicines

Most people receive prescriptions for new medications when they are discharged from the hospital. Sometimes people have difficulty getting these medications. For example, your preferred pharmacy may not have the drug in stock or your insurance may not cover the costs and they are unable to purchase the medications.

Sometimes people get their medications by mailing through the pharmacy, and it can take several days or a week for the drugs to arrive.

Why should entries in the records or appointment books never be obliterated
skad [1K]

To keep record of who comes in and goes out, useful for crimes and for other reason.

As with all medical documentation, appointment entries should never be obliterated or erased. This information can be useful in solving crimes and possibly catching suspects. These records can be used as evidence against the suspect and can lead to justice to a certain person! hope that helps!
