<h3>What is hypertension?</h3>

When blood pressure is excessively high, it is called hypertension. Usually, high blood pressure comes on gradually. Unhealthy lifestyle decisions, such as not engaging in adequate regular physical activity, can contribute to it.

Obesity and certain medical problems like diabetes might raise one's risk of acquiring high blood pressure.

In this case, the nurse is reinforcing instructions to a client with essential hypertension about medication therapy with irbesartan.

It should be noted that in this case,the medication doesn't reduce the need for exercise. Therefore, the correct option is D.

Specifics from the scenario

Lasix is prescribed along with Accupril to the hypertensive patient because;

  • High blood pressure reading of 150/92 in spite of being on the antihypertensive Accupril for the past four months
  • Bilateral lower extremity edema.  

Explanation:

Blood pressure medications which act as calcium channel blockers like Accupril will widen the constricted blood vessels to allow for more blood and fluid to flow easily.

This sometimes leads to an excess amount of fluid in the circulatory system which gets accumulated in the lower extremities. This leads to edema of the feet, especially in the ankle region.  

To treat this fluid accumulation in the feet, a diuretic class drugs are prescribed as an adjuvant. Loop diuretics like Lasix (furosemide) act by lowering the blood pressure as well as reducing the fluid content by increased urine output.

When a parent of a toddler recently diagnosed with pneumococcal pneumonia asks why their child is so much sicker than a classmat
NISA [10]

When a parent of a toddler recently diagnosed with pneumococcal pneumonia asks why their child is so much sicker than a classmate was when they were diagnosed with pneumonia, the nurse replies, "It sounds like your child has a case of bacterial pneumonia, while the classmate had viral pneumonia."

What is Pneumococcal pneumonia?

Pneumococcal disease is caused by bacteria, Streptococcus pneumoniae that can attack different parts of the body.

When these bacteria invade the lungs, they can cause pneumonia; when they invade the bloodstream, they can cause sepsis; and when they invade the covering of the brain, they can cause meningitis. These serious conditions often require hospitalization, and can lead to death.

The bacteria can also cause milder common conditions like middle-ear infection (otitis media) and sinusitis.

Anyone can get pneumococcal disease, but some groups are at increased risk including:

  • Children younger than age 2 years
  • Adults over age 65 years
  • Children and adults with certain medical conditions, including chronic heart disease, lung disease, kidney or liver disease, diabetes, or illnesses that weaken the immune system, such as HIV and certain cancers, among others
