A systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a condition whereby the immune system attacks the body, confusing it with something foreign. When this patient complains that his hands become pale, blue and painful when exposed to cold, the disease that the nurse should cite in as an explanation for these signs and symptoms is Raynaud's disease. This disease causes areas of your body to numb whenever someone has stress on in the events of being exposed to extreme cold temperatures. The blood vessels narrows and limiting the blood circulation to the affected areas. This effect is called vasospam.
I am not sure if this is a true or false question, but I am guessing it is. So that would mean it would be False.
Answer:
Transport the patient by ambulance, monitor closely and administer fluids en route.
Explanation:
The rate of a normal resting heartbeat is 60 to 100 per minute. The atria (the two smaller chambers of the heart) contract simultaneously and so does the ventricles (the two largest chambers). This mechanism causes the “double beat” characteristic of the heart: tummy, tummy… Exercise, emotional stress and even stimulating drugs can increase the heart rate to 200 or more beats and cause the heart to beat too fast. When this happens we call it tachycardia.
In the case of the man shown in the question, tachycardia occurs because of the ingestion of caffeinated soda. Although tachycardia is normal for those who use this type of substance, if the heart beats too fast it can lead to congestive heart failure and even myocardial infarction. For this reason, the ideal thing to do for this man is to transport him in an ambulance, closely monitor him and administer fluids on the way, as fluids can adjust the heart rate.
The answer is D because everyone benefits from physical activity.
