<h2><u>Orthopnea</u> is the symptom to ask about in the cardiovascular review of systems to a patient with a complaint of breathlessness with activity</h2>

Explanation:

  • Breathlessness with activity refers to dyspnea which is shortness of breath upon exertion.
  • Orthopnea is breathlessness or shortness of breath in a lying position that is often relieved with standing or sitting up.  
  • Both dyspnea and orthopnea occur due to high pressure of the pulmonary blood vessels and leakage of fluids into lungs which leads to breathlessness or labored breathing.
  • This happens mostly due to underlying heart failure or disease and is a typical symptom of congestive heart failure.
  • Hence, the presence of orthopnea needs to be asked during a cardiovascular review of systems , when a patient is already having dyspnea.

a technique used whereby the therapist directs family members to continue there symptomatic behavior.
MariettaO [177]

Strategic family therapy (SFT) is a type of short-term family therapy that is commonly used for families with children or adolescents who are experiencing behavioural problems.

A therapist creates interventions with the family to replicate family interactions and conversations in order to solve problems specific to the family structure and create behavioural change. SFT is an active form of therapy. It is intended to be brief, directive, and task-oriented.

This therapy aims to identify and alter the structural interaction patterns that comprise the family environment. This approach helps families function better by addressing family behaviours and interactions that contribute to problem behaviour, allowing children to overcome issues they are experiencing.

What are Behavioral Symptoms?

Behavioral symptoms are abnormal or repetitive behaviours that are disruptive, inappropriate, or cause problems. Behavioral symptoms include aggression, criminal behaviour, defiance, drug use, hostility, inappropriate sexual behaviour, inattention, secrecy, and self-harm.
