The Priority, nursing intervention for this client is in case of shock is  unless you think doing so may make the patient's suffering or injury worse, lay the patient down and elevate the legs. Keep the person still and don't move them.

Shock can be brought on by trauma, heatstroke, blood loss, allergies, severe illnesses, poisoning, severe burns, and other situations. A person in shock doesn't get enough blood or oxygen to their organs. The following are examples of shock signs and symptoms:

1. Cold, clammy skin

2. pale or ashy skin

3. bluish-tinged lips or fingernails (or gray in the case of dark complexions)

4. rapid breaths and a quick heartbeat

Start CPR if the person is not moving, coughing, or breathing. Loosen any constrictive clothing and, if required, wrap the person in a blanket to prevent cold. Don't let them have any food or drinks. If you have access to an epinephrine autoinjector and you think the person is having an allergic reaction, use it as instructed. If the person is bleeding, apply pressure with a cloth or sheet to the area where it is happening. If the individual vomits or starts bleeding from the mouth and there are no signs of a spinal injury, turn them onto their side to prevent choking.

It is appropriate for the nurse to recommend smoking cessation for clients with hypertension because nicotine.
KIM [24]

Yes, it is appropriate for the nurse to recommend smoking cessation for clients with hypertension because nicotine in cigarettes causes your blood vessels to constrict and the heart to beat more rapidly, thus raising your blood pressure.

Nicotine is a extremely addictive chemical compound present in a tobacco plant.  Nicotine is a stimulant, which makes tobacco products addicting. Even when people wish to stop using tobacco products, nicotine prevents them from doing so.

Because of ongoing tobacco use, the number of deaths and disabilities attributable to tobacco use is rising globally (mainly cigarettes). While tobacco use is steadily increasing in high-income countries like the USA, it has reached epidemic proportions in many low- and middle-income nations (The Tobacco Atlas 2015; CDC 2016). 68 % of adult smokers in the United States want to stop, and millions have tried to do so, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC 2017).

Each year, 70 % of smokers contact a healthcare provider (AHRQ 2008). Since nurses participate in the majority of these visits and constitute the biggest group of healthcare providers globally, they have the potential to have a significant impact on the decline in tobacco use.

Hey can someone help me with my essay. Should Athletes with Serious Concussions Receive Special Treatment in the Classroom?
raketka [301]
Personally I believe Athletes with serious concussion should get some special treatment. Getting a concussion is not fun. It can be very pain. Having a concussion can make it very hard to think. It also make you very sensitive to light. Giving them accommodations and giving the Athletes some special treatments will enable them to learn better.

Ibuprofen is a pain reliever that can be purchased without a prescription over-the-counter. It belongs to the class of medications known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) and is used to treat mild to severe pain, including toothache, migraine, and period pain.
