Softa [21]1 year ago

In order to stop further organ damage, the first objective is to promptly lower the blood pressure with intravenous (IV) blood pressure drugs.

  • The terms "hypertensive crisis" and "hypertensive urgency" are interchangeable. Both of these disorders develop when blood pressure rises significantly and can lead to organ damage.
  • Blood pressure spikes and readings of 180/110 or higher are called hypertensive urgency, even if no organs are damaged. Blood pressure medications can safely lower blood pressure within hours.
  • A hypertensive emergency is an emergency in which organ damage is possible due to very high blood pressure. Imminent organ damage should be avoided by immediately lowering blood pressure.
  • Emergent hypertension is rare. Such cases often occur when high blood pressure is untreated, when people forget to take their blood pressure medicine, or when they take over-the-counter medicines that make high blood pressure worse.

The first objective is to promptly lower the blood pressure with intravenous (IV) blood pressure drugs.

Section 1: Intro to Goal Setting
deff fn [24]

Answer:certain terms and schedules, and you must turn in assignments at specified times. These goals are mostly set for you by someone else.

But there are plenty of goals for you to define yourself. For example, you decide what you would like to major in. You decide how long you are going to be in college or what terms you want to enroll in. You largely plan how you would like your studies to relate to employment and your career.

Goals can also be sidetracked. Consider the following scenario in which a student makes a discovery that challenges her to reexamine her goals, priorities, and timetables:

Janine had thought she would be an accountant, even though she knew little about what an accounting job might entail. Her math and organizational skills were strong, and she enjoyed taking economics courses as well as other courses in her accounting program. But when one of her courses required her to spend time in an accounting office working with taxes, she decided that accounting was not the right fit for her, due to the higher-stress environment and the late hours.

At first she was concerned that she invested time and money in a career path that was not a good fit. She feared that changing her major would add to her graduation time. Nevertheless, she did decide to change her major and her career focus.

Janine is now a statistician with a regional healthcare system. She is very happy with her work. Changing her major from accounting to statistics was the right decision for her.

This scenario represents some of the many opportunities we have, on an ongoing basis, to assess our relationship to our goals, reevaluate priorities, and adjust. Opportunities exist every day—every moment, really!
