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.

A nurse in the intensive care unit is responding to a low-pressure limit mechanical ventilator alarm. The nurse will assess for
slega [8]

The nurse will assess for inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation while responding to a low-pressure limit mechanical ventilator alarm.

  • An alarm for excessive airway pressure indicates an issue with compliance or resistance.
  • To stop the alarm and make sure the patient receives the predetermined number of breaths from the ventilator, turn up the upper limit on the alarm parameter first.

An audible and/or visual alert will trigger if the pressure inside the breathing circuit falls below the Low Airway Pressure Alarm limit specified on the ventilator. Low pressure alerts can be caused by, among other things:

  • The patient's connection to the ventilator circuit breaks.
  • inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation
  • nasal cushions, prongs, or invasive non-masks that don't fit well
  • Circuit and tube connections that are loose
  • The ventilator cannot supply the patient with as much air as they need.
